One Of The Most Controversial Horror Movie Endings Relies On A Dead Website - SlashFilm This notorious found-footage horror film tried to pull a bait-and-switch by concluding with a link to a now-dead website rather than a real ending.

@kermodemovie.bsky.social It was indeed, as Simon suggested, The Devil Inside that ends with a link to a website - www.slashfilm.com/1817844/cont...

Rachel saying "...and she was a detective who questioned people for a living"

Rachel saying "And not once did she suspect me of anything, because I've never lied"

Not a good look for the police force, if we're being honest. #TheTraitors #Traitors #TraitorsUK

Daily Star's 60p Lettuce Liz that lasted longer than Truss immortalised by BFI The lettuce livestream has been acquired by the British Film Institute’s National Archive as part of a digital collection featuring 400 significant pieces of British online video content

Very funny - the BFI has acquired the Daily Star's lettuce/Liz Truss video for the national archive, because it is a significant piece of British content that deserves preservation

Pubs to stay open until early hours in push for UK growth Exclusive: Plans for England and Wales would help ailing hospitality sector but health experts criticise plans

Genuinely outstanding news, even if this news story can apparently only report on it by cramming it full of every objection imaginable. People should be able to drink as late as they please. And by 'people' I mean me.

@simonmayo.bsky.social In terms of the most unbelievable true facts (as you were discussing on Wittertainment), I saw this on X back in February and immediately saved it because I knew it was the most beautiful thing I would ever learn. Especially relevant in these current science-doubting times

Frightening. We know *nothing* about the shooter. "They are at war with us", "we are watching what they say", "rats". Just a desperately sad day on many levels.

Do your mental health a favor and turn this on for today. You really don't want to watch this. It is awful.

Pet Shop Boys' Always On My Mind tops cover version vote The Pet Shop Boys' 1987 hit Always On My Mind is voted the top cover version of all time in a BBC Music vote.

Remembering that one time, not so long ago, that the British voting public got it absolutely, incontestably right.

F1 has become the biggest box office hit of Brad Pitt's entire career. Astonishingly, the film it replaced is World War Z. Had no idea that had done so well

I *knew* there was something iffy about that story as to why the Salt Path couple lost their home. No matter how many stories I searched none of it added up. Well done @chloehadj.bsky.social for getting to the truth observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

@simonmayo.bsky.social Actually took my breath away when you started Take 2 talking about Fearless on the pod, what with today's news.

If I can be genuine for a moment, this week has seen my 4th proper column for @theipaper.com and the joy I’m getting from writing for them is hard to express. I hope that you’re enjoying reading and I hope there will be much more to come

No one does podcasts quite like Kermode and Mayo Twenty years ago, BBC Radio 5live made the film review segment of Simon Mayo's show available as a podcast

So having posted about the 20th anniversary of the 1st @kermodeandmayo.bsky.social podcast, I tried to put into words for @theipaper.com why it is so special - what @simonmayo.bsky.social and @kermodemovie.bsky.social get so right. I'd love it if you'd give it a read

They mostly talked Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith - it doesn't get the warmest of receptions - but there's also a nice review of a documentary called What The Bleep Do We Know, about humanity's place in the universe.

Happy birthday @kermodeandmayo.bsky.social
