Had a lot of fun playing the remastered THE THING game. As a sequel to Carpenter's film, I always loved how much this follows the ALIENS playbook, i.e. following a military unit sent to investigate locations from the first film and dialling back the horror just a bit but ramping up the action

Shabana Mahmood casually saying they're gonna take migrant's jewellery off them has got me thinking about that scene in Schindler's List where the Jewish family wrap family heirlooms in bread and swallow them.

What the fuck are we?

Absolutely extraordinary screening at the Hippodrome, Bo'ness, of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA with the mesmerising and electrifying new synth score (commissioned by @dcadundee.bsky.social) performed live by Andrew Wasylyk and @surfacepressure.bsky.social. A perfect night at the movies 🖤
