“The Little Movie That Couldn’t”: ‘Mallrats’ Turns 30 In the fall of 1995, Kevin Smith’s second film was a box office humiliation. Now, it’s become an embarrassment of riches. We chat with Smith about the movie and how it forever altered his career.

wrote about the kind of cinema that can only be appreciated in a friend's basement. that's right, I wrote about MALLRATS!

I know, right! Can confirm
that all three were excellent 🍻

Quick @burningskybeer.bsky.social Coolship 2025 on the way home.

Excellent FLOC TTO at the Pocket (the cask Whisper was 👌) but as always the Cock Tavern is more my style......

Lovely to see @thedodomicropub.bsky.social featuring in this week's @pelliclemag.com.

Sadly the Dodo isn't as convenient as it once was but still find myself venturing west pretty regularly for a couple there and it's like I've never been away.

Found this one from 2019.....

How much is too much for a pint? The £5 barrier was breached long ago and at some London bars you could pay £10. When will drinkers just stop buying beer? And what do struggling landlords want to see in the budget?

Today in @thetimes.com I break down the price of a pint and explain why it costs so much. Over half of all job losses in the last year have been in hospitality - pubs need help. www.thetimes.com/life-style/f...

That'll do nicely.....

An image of the exterior of the new Guinness brewery/tourist attraction in Covent Garden, with a sign reading "Good Things Are Coming'

There is, incredibly, a new @londonbeercity.bsky.social tomorrow. It features Guinness' belated arrival in Covent Garden, London pubs owned by London breweries, the new venue for LCBF, The Lady magazine and lots more. Sign up here: www.willhawkes.net/london-beer-...

Finally, a hole in one.

Don't really want to change my starter though as (and in no surprise to anyone) it was a the name of a Burning Sky beer.....

Friday night FLOC at All Good Beer.

I can indeed confirm that Marine did indeed once tell someone who was brave/naive enough to order an espresso martini to "get out" and it was slightly terrifying......

Stoutmas appears to have started early - this Sureshot was excellent and dangerously didn't taste like 8%.......

Elon Musk's idea of lawless London is complete bollocks

Opinion | There is a clear reason why conservatives within and without the UK demonise London: the city is a symbol of multiculturalism.

Sorry not to give more notice, but today will be our last day, so if you’d like to come by for one last drink and help us go out in style we’ll be open until we sell out.We can’t thank you enough for all your support over the years and being part of the story 😻

Kill the Car closed last night! If I'd known earlier I'd have detoured past for one before it closed as have been going on and off for years since the days of Brick Lane......

Post work Steady Rolling Man Strata.

Let's just say this has improved the day considerably......

Pulp Different Class 30th anniversary Q&A at the Rio Cinema.....

Hopefully it's ok to add a few more......

All Good Beer N1: £5 pints 5-7 Mon-Fri
Pressure Drop: £4 Ja / Pale Fire Fri (£4 cans on Sunday)
40FT: might still do £4 Thursday pints (£4 Disco Pils during premier league / WSL matches) as not been for a while
Shirkers Red: £4 cask on Wednesday

Yay. Priceless. The right column at the right time. And a gleefully English two fingers to the haters.

As sure as Tuesday follows Monday......

They're not bright, are they?

This is an excellent @pelliclemag.com article on Macintosh Ales.....I have been known to enjoy the odd Saturday afternoon pint in there before dealing with the rest of the day.

Must drag @kientan74.bsky.social here one day soon.......

I see the usuals have rallied to Concrete Mike's defence......

I'm quite aware that Stephen Yaxley-Lennon is a convicted criminal but thanks for pointing that out.

Are you being deliberately pedantic about an irrelevant aspect of this article while being completely condescending thinking people are incapable of understanding that he goes by Tommy Robinson. Also, you seem to have missed that Tommy Robinson (aka Yaxley-Lennon) is also a football hooligan?

There's a thing called a pseudonym.

Do you do the same where articles mention, say, Elton John or David Tennant?

The journalism was done. Can only assume that you didn't actually read the article before commenting.

Saturday afternoon at @kernelbrewery.bsky.social

I've seriously considered moving to Manchester because of the Port Street Beer House (and admittedly the @trackbrewingco.bsky.social taproom).....it's not often a place leaves me speechless (as @kientan74.bsky.social can attest).
