When you publish an unfiltered biography about a filmmaking icon, you can never be sure how their family is going to react.

Therefore is was a real thrill that Sean Graver posted this video yesterday regarding the book we wrote about his Dad.

Isn't it just!! It's taken me years, and far too much money!

Snips Movies @snipsmovies.bsky.social · 16d

Finally completed the only Poe cycle worth talking about...

HOUSE OF USHER (2008) arrived today. Outrageous fee. Worth it though.

Shout out to Stephen Graham for namechecking his old Kirkby video rental shop, Quarry Green, in his Adolescence Emmy acceptance speech. It really is woven into the fabric of our lives @20thcflicks.bsky.social @snipsmovies.bsky.social
