I remember him well from Blade (1998) 🦇⚔️

Love everything about Sholay and it has the best Bollywood villain ever Gabbar Singh!

My earliest memory of Dharmendra was seeing him in Sholay (1975) with my parents in Manchester in the late 70s. A very sad loss.

Watched both last night, entertaining enough. First film definitely better than the second one, wish they will do a proper prequel one day.

Universality by Natasha Brown - it’s a smart read, but didn’t grip me as her debut The Assembly. I guess I’m was looking to escape reality and be reminded how dire things are at the moment.

Muppet’s Christmas Carol, The Nightmare before Christmas and Klaus.

This time last week I was at La Piscine - Musée d'art et d'industrie André Diligent de Roubaix just outside of Lille. Today I’m hibernating at home as it’s too cold outside.

What the husband @mjowen174.bsky.social says is true.

A repost would be lovely too.

The UK wants to emulate Denmark’s hardline asylum model – but what does it actually look like? Denmark has slashed asylum numbers by granting only short-term status and by targeting ‘ghettoes’, which critics say has damaged the country’s values

Still thinking about these two - Crimson Peak (2015) and Frankenstein (2025)

Crimson Peak (2015) rewatch happening

A ★★½ review of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003) Every rewatch makes me think this was a total missed opportunity to make a really good series of films.

A good example of a wasted opportunity boxd.it/bFsqaf

Frankenstein (2025) - still thinking about the cinematography.

Perhaps now, we can both be human

Highly recommend the latest stage version 🎭
