Are people ok or?

Not only did I get to interview one of my fave filmmakers of all time this year I also got to do a commentary on one of his CREEPIEST (😏) movies! @jaspersharp.bsky.social and I went long on Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s CREEPY for @vinsyn.bsky.social - pre order here! 2cm.es/1bQnl

My fave!!!!!

Just in: The Dollman Toybox from @101filmsuk.bsky.social including my new interviews with Charlie Band, Richard Band and Billy Butler! 👇🏻 buy now 101-films-store.com/collections/...

Watching John Woo’s Manhunt (2017) on @amazonprime.bsky.social and the English subtitles are SO bad that even the English dialogue is wrong. “It’s a dead end” said in English came up on screen subs as “wow road”. If this is how good AI subtitling is, why would anybody even try it?

Heads up, Shudder subscribers - the original Thai 'Shutter' is listed on there as the US remake.

So if you wanted to watch the original but could only find the remake, good news!

If you wanted to watch the remake, bad news, but the original is probably better, lbr.

So sad we can’t be there! Hope it goes well x

Just imagine the amount of fuck ups the implementation will have and how impossible it will be to change your info or if they make a mistake. Or if someone steals your identity… gross

Is anybody else doing this challenge or is it a challenge for just you?

Just don’t be one of those guys who has disgusting glasses 🤢

One time I thought I had to just wait and it went past a month so had to contact them. You might have to persist with contact… they are the worst!!

From memory I think suddenly wallet now shows $ € and £ as different sections and you have to “convert” the currency before it becomes available. Presumably to accept their costs for doing this. Obviously this might not be the issue but was for me recently. If you go to PayPal wallet section?

It’s a minefield I’ve had this a few times now. I think there’s a chance if it’s a different currency that it needs you to convert. I think this is a new thing because I had this recently but never before as well with foreign currency. See if you have two different currency listed in your “wallet”…

I’ve had this before, is there a chance it’s stuck due to currency differences? I was told I had to convert it in PayPal app before it showed in balance. Also they sometimes hold money if you don’t receive into your account much, just to “make sure it’s genuine” bs!

“In every industry, AI is being used to replace all the creative things that bring us joy instead of the boring, tedious tasks we hate doing,” she says.

Yeh yeh we see you!

You don’t need to remind everyone how Tory you are!!

Is this helping you go through all your books? 😛

Agreed, love jumper weather

Are you even married if you don’t have a ridiculous house party afterwards? 👇🏻 @jaspersharp.bsky.social

Delighted to be introducing probably the greatest J-horror of them all in Hackney for Halloween. See you there!

Yes unfortunately the photographer had gone home by this point 😿

Thank you! Gothic zombie bride haha

Just married 💍 ♥️ w/ @jaspersharp.bsky.social

Two things can be true at once, the films having a place in history AND being too misogynistic for women to enjoy them the same way men might. Anyway I’m worn out from this discussion. There’s a lot of great modern films too!

I fully know what you’re saying, just trying to explain why we can feel this way about antiquated ideas in films. I am not in support of changing words in old books for example, in the same way I wouldn’t be pro setting fire to these old films. They just aren’t first watch choice.

It’s definitely nothing to do with being toughened up, as before it’s not like oh all these snowflake women can’t cope with seeing misogyny. It’s that we simply find it too distracting to enjoy the film. My opinion. Again hard to generalise.

I personally think that is different. I’m not “triggered” by misogyny in old films, it just completely changes how you perceive the lead males and how you root for them. You can disagree but I don’t think it’s right to shame women who would prefer not to go there. (Not saying you are)

Well I can disagree with that simply because I believe it’s a feminist film. Made by a woman. About the pure anger inside of how we are treated boiling over. So not sure about that part personally!
