Never been so proud of my home town.

Car desperately needs a clean, just looking for a window of more than 2 days when it’s not going to be absolutely belting down before I make this considerable investment of my time & finances

I had some of the best few months of my life in LA over a period of years.
I always found the people friendly and welcoming with the right amount of ‘quirk’ to make life interesting.
I love the city & its residents and I pray for you all now.
Please keep safe.

Can the U.S. please come and take the mango Mussolini’s best mate back and tell him not to bother himself with what goes on in the U.K.
In the while, we’re a pretty ok little island.
We’ve got a few dickheads like Tommy Robinson & Nigel Farage but in the whole they tend to get shut down pretty quick

So, serious question from a confused Brit.
Saw an interview today filmed during the U.S. election.
The interviewee was proudly sporting a red MAGA baseball cap and telling everyone that the U.S. is the greatest country. PERIOD.
If this is the case, please remind me what MAGA stands for again?

So, my movies of 2024 are (in no particular order)
Emilia Perez
The Holdovers (it was a 2024 movie in the U.K.)
Live lies Bleeding
The Substance
All of us Strangers

These films proved that magnificent films and stories can be told away from the usual bangy crashy latex clad hero pap.

Imagine my surprise & delight at Prime dropping a forgotten 80’s classic.
‘Bad Influence’ with Rob Lowe & James Spader. A noir classic, great movie that needs to be seen.
Haven’t seen it for a very, very long time.

Happy Thanksgiving for all my new American chums that I’ve discovered and interacted with on here.
Please forgive my tardiness, apparently I’m a day late.
Being a Brit on my side of the pond it can easily pass you by and I did have to look up when it was.

If this was that other nasty social
Media site I’d drop spoilers about who’s won Great British Bake Off and ruin it for all my new American chums.
But it’s not, it’s Blue Sky so you’ll all just have to wait till Friday. (Or you can go online, it’s not that difficult really, is it).

So, once again, someone from organised religion (Church of England this time, just to prove it’s not just the Catholic Church that’s full of abusers) has been abusing children in their care.
But right wing ‘christians’ will continue to say it’s the LGTBQ+ community that are endangering our children.

The Holdovers.
What a wonderful, beautiful movie.
3 lost, sad and lonely people being supported and, ultimately, loved by the other 2.
My only regret is that I hadn’t seen it before now.
Hollywood can still make great, thought provoking movies.
More of the same please.

I thought being British and having to watch while my countrymen voted to leave the EU thus denying future generations the wonderful opportunities and ability to travel freely throughout our wonderful continent was bad.
So many good, intelligent & decent men & women in the U.S. and you choose HIM.

So, I recently watched ‘A Suitable Flesh’ with Heather Graham.
An ok HP Lovecraft adaptation.
Why do studios struggle with HO Lovecraft adaptations so much?
I’d heard that Guillermo Del Toro has an ongoing battle to make an interpretation of ‘In the Mountains of Madness’
Now, that, I’d pay to see.

It’s the end of a long hard day. I really don’t know how ‘we’ got though it.
Still, Monday’s done and it’s all downhill from here on in.
Some of us appear to have had a harder day than others.

What a bargain.

This is leading towards a marathon movie session next weekend.
Question is: do I go for all 3 in the go or pace myself?

So, just watched Mad Max Furiosa which I enjoyed very much.
Am I the only person in the entire world who didn’t realise it was a prequel to Fury Rd and Furiosa was Charlize Theron’s character from the first movie?
Was she even called Furiosa in Fury Rd? I can’t remember.
FFS.

Movie fun fact if the day…
Blockbusters are so called because back in the day people would queue round the block to get in to see the latest big movie

The main thing I love about this new (for me at least) platform, apart from the apparent lack of hateful far right whack jobs is that none of my existing friendship circle are on here.
Looking forward to interacting with a whole new bunch of like minded individuals.
And here’s a picture of my cat.

British 80’s synth classic.
That genre at that time…..❤️

So, being new to this particular platform and not having any followers or following anyone in particular back, I thought I’d just introduce myself and my cat.
Good evening
