Aside from the Boxhead Collective's overbearing score, that's an excellent documentary. Manages to feel raw and brutal, yet still finds some strange beauty in the pursuit of guys beating the shit out of each other. Hope it gets put back into accessible circulation. #TheSmashingMachine #FilmSky

Given the fact the Skeletor famously has a skull for a face, and so there's no reason as to why we need to see Leto's dirtbag visage, it's still not too late for them to just replace his voice with somebody who might not repel every human being in a 50 mile radius.

If we're not getting at least a handful of promo gigs where they have Sam perform these songs in character live with the band, then what are we even doing here?

Out today in UK cinemas, the dog-centred horror Good Boy is a good film (that I wish were a great one)! setthetape.com/2025/10/10/g... #GoodBoy #FilmSky

Good Boy – Film Review

That was absolutely Phil Ellis' coming out party, for those not aware of him prior to this series. Completely ran away with that episode. #Taskmaster

Fully convinced that the AI troupe are actually just the brain slugs from Futurama feasting on the brains of people who should know better at this point.

At this point, I'm convinced a significant chunk of the executive (and some of the creative) class have been overtaken by the brain slugs from Futurama. It's the only plausible explanation.

"Pool" just guts me everytime I hear it. I've never been in a romantic relationship, but I can absolutely relate to the "this situation is toxic and doomed but I prefer that sick comfort to the terrifying unknown of change" sentiment.

*Yet another* full day of films where nothing rises above a three-star rating, two of which were gigantic disappoinments.

I kind of want to see it again to be certain, but gut feeling right now... this dogshit year can't even give me a real good Kathryn Bigelow movie. Why am I still bothering to give a crap about cinema? #AHouseOfDynamite #FilmSky

A less clumsy second-act (or maybe even just one excised of all but the essentials) and this'd be a pretty great thriller. As is, pretty good thriller! #DeadOfWinter #FilmSky

Commits 3 of the 4 cardinal romance film sins.
1] Fails to give a compelling reason why the leads shouldn't immediately get together.
2] Fails to convincingly argue why they should get together.
3] Makes me just want to watch very similar better films instead.
