still thinking about ‘THE SEARCHERS’ (1956)
I think john wayne’s character is deeply interesting and john ford’s landscape cinematography is basically second to none. a movie with tough themes that takes you along for the ride and is 100% worth a watch. I love a western and this is one of the best!

watched ‘ROPE’ (1948) last night.
like a closed door mystery play put on camera, the irreplaceable Jimmy Stewart does fine work as ever.
lots of interesting long takes and handheld camera work from Hitchcock and a compelling plot make for 80 great minutes. fantastic movie.

god, what a deeply depressing ending that movie has
shaking my head throughout the entirety of ‘Chinatown’ so people know I dislike roman polanski

bit of a Los Angeles double feature in the last couple of days. first ever watches of L.A. Confidential (1997) and Chinatown (1974)

juggling two social media apps is a nightmare, and bluesky is really cool, but there doesn’t seem to be the interaction quite yet. I’m in that weird limbo where I still post on twitter and I forget to post here every few days 😅

I think the last 3 weeks or so might see the byrds nick 2nd place in my spotify wrapped - I’ve not been able to get enough of their sound of late

edinburgh’s buses all got shut down for the afternoon so the city is in chaos. good time to put your pyjamas on the radiator and watch something comforting 😌

it took 3 nights of trying but my rewatch of ‘GUNFIGHT AT THE O.K. CORRAL’ (1957) is now complete. as good as I remember it being. kirk douglas’ portrayal of doc holliday is probably my favourite thing about it. he’s excellent!

‘HIGH NOON’ (1952) was fantastic. a simply marvellous western that on the surface is a heroic tale of a lone marshal and yet is as deep as you can imagine it - so many undertones and possible themes. always good to end with a shootout as well 👍

the westerns will continue this evening, I plan to watch ‘HIGH NOON’ (1952)
and finish off my rewatch of ‘GUNFIGHT AT THE O.K. CORRAL’ (1957)
just finished ‘BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK’ (1955). what a picture.

finished reading book 1 of 1Q84, onto book 2/3.
I never usually read fiction but man this is good, has me very intrigued. it’s been translated really well as well, the descriptiveness and flow of the text is great. I knew Murakami was meant to be good but now I can really see it

@jakepenro.bsky.social I heard you’re the cap king, I’m thinking about maybe getting another one (I have 2 right now), maybe a similar shape to a polo cap but not necessarily polo branded and in a nice light colour, maybe a cream or sandy brown - do you have a go-to brand or place?
