Hello film migration people! I have followed 60-odd of my favourite accounts from Twitter. Some have already followed me back. If you have liked my nonsense on the other place, please follow me back and maybe put the word about I'm a good chap. James Bond, movies, books, sci-fi, Star Wars, etc.

Nigel Farage accuses teachers of "poisoning our kids" on race issues.

Here's a reminder of what teachers and fellow pupils at Farage's own school remember of his own views on that subject.

I feel Jonathan Ross is in danger of giving himself away at that funeral.

Some things never change...

A full page image of Michael looking like a right cunt. With the quote: 'I think people are scared to hear the truth. Well, I'm sorry but knock, knock: it's the truth calling... or knocking.'

Ugh.

Another extract of text in which Michael vows to start putting himself and his needs first. Because of course he does.

Complete with an image of him in a chunky knit sweater pulled up over his hands and mouth. If they're going for adorable, it just comes off as rigor mortis chic.

Reviewed ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER for @crooked-marquee.bsky.social. A masterpiece.

Review: One Battle After Another

Paul Thomas Anderson's latest is the movie of the moment, a thrilling stew of social commentary, pointed cynicism, and unapologetic thrills.

My thoughts on One Battle After Another, how Paul Thomas Anderson grapples with the revolutionary impotence of his generation, the social and racial dynamics of change-makers, and bucking the trend of avoiding confrontation with the source of America’s inequalities.

Settle in.

With ‘One Battle After Another,’ Paul Thomas Anderson Captures the Shortcomings of His Generation

Though Leonardo DiCaprio's Bob, Anderson explores limits and frustrations of a revolutionary in an America where the disenfranchisement of Black and Latino populations has grown beyond his generation'...

Fantastic chat between PTA and DiCaprio. Love Leo’s eternal Boogie Nights regrets and wow do I adore that the idea of Bob not remembering the right responses for the secret phrases in One Battle After Another coming from pondering what if that happened to Ethan Hunt

One Battle After Another was very good 👍 very exciting, propulsive, tense & funny, with an incredible, unusual score. I get the criticism of black female fetishism from some quarters, and have read some interesting pieces tackling this angle. Although it did lead to a funny "our essences" type line.

@simon-scarrow.bsky.social I've just finished Revenge Of Rome, excellent and bittersweet. Is this really Macro and Cato's Farrell to arms then? I missed the usual author's notes, although I'm aware this one was very much drawn purely from your imagination this time.

Ben Shapiro @benshapiro 1d If you're at a dinner and somebody introduces himself as "Dr. Smith," you'd be rather upset to learn that he had a doctorate in musicology if you were to suffer a stroke at the table.
