Happy Valentine's Day Eve from Cherry, Spud, and the whole gang or horndogs at HAIR HIGH! Whether you're having your first kiss or your millionth, may it be filled with a maximum of passion, and a minimum of hamburgers or locomotives.
(Unless that's your thing, in which case, carry on!)

As they say in the Red Carpet wrapups, "Who Wore It Better?" 😂
Also re: this movie - literally screamed when leading man Yûichi Minato took off his suit jacket and revealed a backless halter dress-shirt just like what Alexander Skarsgard wore on the Pillion red carpet. ICONIC

Thanks, @sdkcolin.bsky.social , can't wait to hear where it ranks against the Kachanov, Tarasov, and Atamanov films!

"Pure cinematic possession" is how @homosatanis.bsky.social describes the cinema of Teuvo Tulio. No lies detected!
Thanks for sharing your new arrival, Fred!
Thanks for sharing your new arrival, Fred!
It arrived today: @deafcrocodile.bsky.social’s 3 x Teuvo Tulio - Sensuela, Cross of Love, and Restless Blood. Tulio didn’t deal with simple melodrama, and instead with pure cinematic possession. If you like Finnish cinema that feels slightly wrong (in the best way), welcome. #moviesky #filmskya

How was the Super Bowl? We had to miss it because it conflicted with a HS football game. Lotta fun, but also kind of rough, tbh...
