What if? journalism isn’t very good journalism in my eyes. Each circumstance on its own merits. This is a nonsense story, let’s get back to covering the shitty world we live in.

“ - it’s physically capable of -“ feels like a Chekhov gun throwaway line.

And the most taut. Like it could snap at any time ☹️

2025 watch #177 - Still of the Night (1982). Roy Scheider and Meryl Streep star in an intriguing Hitchcockian noir from the writer/director of Kramer vs. Kramer. Not a flashy film, but a wonderful supporting cast with the likes of Jessica Tandy, Josef Sommer and Joe Grifasi. Keeps you guessing.

George impresses his young assistant Brooke with his knowledge of ancient artifacts.

Brooke impresses her next catch (?) Sam with her knowledge of ancient artifacts.

Joe Grifasi is Detective Vitucci, trying to work it all out.

Poster for Still of the Night couldn't help suggest who the killer is with the tagline "If looks could kill..."

Inevitably there’s going to be another season of Only Murders in the Building, but I’d be happy to wait a couple years to give more time to develop the story. This season felt like someone forgot to turn the oven on.

I think I understand. All it will take to save America from itself is some magic metal and Jon Voight coming around (and using his boner for good)? There will be essays written about this movie in years to come and none will make any sense but the lecturers will get a laugh out of them at least.

Comcast doesn’t own Paramount. You might be thinking of Viacom.

Jesus promised to return only when the world is irredeemably broken? What a shitty promise. “You’re gonna fuck this up. Don’t worry, I’ll come back when you do.”

Currently watching it thru Mubi.

But at least I found out there’s a big difference between pigs in a blanket UK compared with USA!

2025 watch no.176 - Megalopolis (2024). Visually arresting, but Francis should be in jail for the childish script. It’s nearly as off putting as Aubrey Plaza and Shia LaBeouf’s characters. I’m only half way through, but I’ll put my human capacity for suffering through the second half. #filmsky

Adam Driver in Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis.

Some visually interesting scenes in Megalopolis.

Cesar and Julia kiss, like Romeo and Juliet in Megalopolis.

Am I wrong in thinking if Green and Lib Dems could align, they’d be a force to be reckoned with? If it’s true the old form of governance isn’t working for whatever reason, I’d rather not let Farage and his nationalism slip in when these two parties seem to have so much common ground.

2025 watch no.175 - Sorry, Baby (2025). Exceptional telling of a hard subject that many if not most women are forced to be part of. Exceptional that this is Eva Victor’s directorial debut. Subtle kaleidoscope of tones & the acting & the dialogue are exactly right for the story to be heard. #filmsky

Except didn’t they separate families during the first admin… and got voted back in 4 years later? 😕

I’m happy to take original spins on great IP, especially from Flanagan.

Carrie, It: Welcome to Derry, someone’s remaking The Stand, not to mention all the

They’re not even phoning it in this season, they’re texting. With emojis.

Watching 2020’s The Stand with a streaming cold, snot (sic) the best way to watch Stephen King’s apocalyptic super flu show! #filmsky www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

2025 watch no.174 - Storks (2016). The funniest, whackiest animation since Up, and it’s both funnier and whackier with a superior voice cast, including Key and Peele, and Andy Samberg’s finest work. Where’s Storks 2??

Tulip and Junior the stork float down a river on Tulip’s flying machine.

Alpha and Beta head the most inventive wolf pack you’ll ever see committed to screen.

covering everything he says and posts gets you where? literally flooding the zone with shit.

If that hadn’t gone in MacAllister wouldn’t have to spend the rest of the game in a swimming cap 😁

2025 watch no.173 - The Dead Zone (1983). One of the best Stephen King adaptations from the 80’s (and all time). In a different universe Walken could have been the Walking Dude, here he’s a slightly spooky English teacher who develops supernatural abilities he doesn’t know what to do with. #filmsky

Christopher Walken’s Johnny on the mend in a neck brace.

Brooke Adams’ Sarah is torn between her old love and her new husband who has dubious taste in politicians.

Herbert Lom appearing in a straight role, leaving his Pink Panther ticks behind him.

Poster for the Dead Zone depicting an eerie tunnel. Of the mind!
