I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Good afternoon BlueSky Colleagues
As I slowly build up my space here on this platform I'm looking to connect with more of the following (and I'll do the same in return).
Hope you're all well.

Hey Luke… hand me down a whiskey!

That’s blisteringly good value. I’d pay half that for some of your skeets.

How much for a very good one?

Easier to do with Tuco that with Angel Eyes, admittedly.

I take your point, but also think the varying grades of amorality demonstrated by all three main characters is part of what makes this and other Italian Westerns interesting. Our sympathies still need somewhere to settle, and that means finding the aspects within each character that make them human.

My film education was through Moviedrome. That type of curation, the sense of event, is needed now, in an age of streaming, more than ever.

That was exactly my experience too.

Yes, I was wondering if Cox’s second viewing was of a different cut.

Brilliant article. In my teens, Alex Cox totally changed the way I encountered a film. Am also delighted to learn that Moviedrome was required viewing in UK prisons.

This line stuck with me from the Moviedrome Guide (mail order, delivery time ca six months):

“If The Good, The Bad and The Ugly had been set in Europe and directed by Bernardo Bertolucci, it would have won ten Oscars. But it was a Western, it was directed by Sergio Leone, and it didn’t.”

I remember all of these ones too. Assault on Precinct 13 was my first Moviedrome watch, at 13 years old. Mind-blowing.

Happy birthday Dwight. Thanks for the poem ❤️

Congratulations 🥂

Still true:
*Britain is a success story
*Most of its cities are doing astonishingly well
*Multiculturalism is popular
*Mass immigration has not led to social disintegration
*Nostalgia is increasingly weird
*Britain is incredibly safe
*Levels of social cohesion are high
Don't let them gaslight you.

Sidenote: when a bit of the BBC is pissing you off, do try to say which bit rather than just attacking the corporation in general. That just helps its political enemies.

This is the last thing the BBC needs

Bertrand Russell, in 1948. Extraordinary to realise how pessimistic people were during an era we now associate with optimism. And reassuring to realise that things sometimes turn out OK, even when everyone thinks we're fucked.

Labour has a whopping great majority and four years left to turn this country around.

They should be setting the agenda, not chasing about trying to placate voters of a party with five MPs who will never vote for them anyway.

It's not only disappointing... it's embarrassing

I have waited my whole life, for this moment....

My phone just autocorrected Ennio Morricone to “Ennui” Morricone. Has anyone heard his music? I bet it bangs.

You really have surpassed yourself with this one. 👍

Always great to get close to nature; these squirrels in my local wood included. Monkey nuts are a help of course ;)
