Noto lot has changed here since L’Aventtura was filmed in 1960!

@CinemaTweets1 Early trailer looked dreadful

Christopher Nolan’s next film is officially 99 days away. Nolan makes his return to Cinema with Anne Hathaway by his side- who hasn’t worked with Nolan since Interstellar over a decade ago. I’m excited to see these two working together again. Just get me to July 17th already.

@nguyenhdi Amazing choices

12 B&W films I’d rate 10/10: "Casablanca" "Citizen Kane" "Sunset Boulevard" "The Apartment" "Persona" "To Be or Not to Be" "Yojimbo" "Woman in the Dunes" "The Innocents" "Bicycle Thieves" "12 Angry Men" "Elevator to the Gallows"

@FightingOnFilm Best years of our lives. Thin red line. Colonel Blimp. Matter of life and death. Come and see. That’s the top six!

It's a bank holiday and I (Matt) am struggling to decide on what to watch. Hit me with your best war movie suggestions!

@FightingOnFilm Grande illusion is the best war movie

@booksandbbq It’s ridiculously good.

Reading Lonesome Dove and I might just read western novels and nothing but western novels for the next couple of months.

@FightingOnFilm And a soundtrack by Joe Strummer

Touching on many of the key moments of Walker's tyrannical tenure in Nicaragua 'Walker' climaxes with the burning of Granada and his execution in Honduras in 1860 for "filibusterism" (though the film necessarily cuts out 2 further abortive expeditions!) 3/3

This week we looked at Alex Cox's 'Walker' (1987) which spotlights a relatively little known (outside of Nicaragua) episode when an American Filibuster (or Mercenary) William Walker seized Nicaragua in 1856. The film uses anachronisms to highlight contemporary parallels. 1/

@CinemaTweets1 It’s ok

Slow Horses is One of the Best Shows on TV

@TheCinesthetic Not really likely. But brilliantly done.

This scene deserves to be studied in film schools.

@WitchAmy01 @konstructivizm @LaurasMiscMovie ???

@cornishop @konstructivizm @LaurasMiscMovie Do you know what the numbers after the names of the missions come from?

What will the Artemis-2 astronauts do during the entire 10-day mission? Day by day overview: Day 1. Launch. Launch on the SLS rocket, stage separation, orbital insertion. Maneuvers around the spent stage, initial system checks, change from spacesuits to everyday clothing. Day 2. Beginning the journey to the Moon: Simulator exercises, then the main maneuver—translunar injection (TLI), which places Orion on a trajectory to fly around the Moon and return to Earth. Day 3. Preparation Rehearsals for lunar observations in zero gravity, corrective maneuver, emergency procedures training (e.g., CPR). Day 4. Course correction Second minor maneuver, communication with Mission Control, media sessions, photography of Earth and the Moon at the midpoint. Day 5. Lunar Entry For the first time since 1972, humans will be in cislunar space. Spacesuit tests: rapid pressurization, life support systems checks. Another course correction. Day 6. Lunar Flyby The main day: The Orion spacecraft will fly at an altitude of 6,400–9,650 km above the lunar surface. This distance is approximately 15–24 times greater than the orbital altitude of the ISS. Plus, the Moon itself is smaller. Visually, the Moon will look like a basketball at arm's length to the astronauts. There will be only three hours for observations during closest approach. The astronauts will take photographs and record geological data. Depending on the launch time, the Artemis 2 crew could break the record for the longest distance from Earth. Day 7. Lunar Exit Data transfer to scientists, psychological and physical debriefings. Symbolic call with the ISS crew. First maneuver of the return trajectory. Day 8. Demonstrations Radiation protection training (using water and thermal protection as barriers). Testing the Orion attitude control systems in various modes. Day 9. Preparing for reentry The last full day of the flight. Technological demonstrations, course corrections, fitting of compression suits to help the body adapt to weightlessness. Day 10. Return Final maneuver, atmospheric reentry, during which the temperature will reach 1650°C. Parachute deployment, splashdown in the Pacific Ocean off San Francisco. Crew pickup by US Navy ships.

@Osinttechnical … rescued by Iranians from Trump’s military misadventure?

One of the American aircrew downed over Iran has reportedly been rescued -N12’s Amit Segal

@hazelflag Love Niven in this

Rewatching Separate Tables, a mild, Grand Hotel-style entertainment. The Americans win over the Brits. It sometimes happens.

@Zwxsh Didn’t even realise he wasn’t there!

Love him or hate him, these tournaments don't feel the same without Novak Djokovic

@portraitinflesh It’s ok

OK, so the overwhelming consensus seems to be: yes, stick with it. Not surprising, as Detectorists was also a slow burn. Message understood!

I watched the first episode of this, as a huge admirer of Detectorists, and I have to say... I wasn't blown away. It's charming, and offbeat, and shows some potential, but I didn't have one of those "wow, I *must* keep watching this" moments. Should I keep going with it, or what?

@AngryCaliLib @SpencerGuard Did his controllers ask for changes?

@SpencerGuard why did you delete and repost 3 times?

Imagine a self proclaimed “military expert” telling his followers that in all of the U.S. National Security Council, Joint Staff, CENTCOM, U.S. Naval Forces Central Command (NAVCENT), and JTF staff, they did not plan for scenarios in the Strait of Hormuz. Then imagine people still following him for “analysis.” Crazy world of overnight “X-perts”

@Temp__Human @SpencerGuard Can you put that in English please

@SpencerGuard Personally think are actions in Iran are going rather Smashingly.

@ScenesFilms @TheCinesthetic Chungking. Any other answer mad. Tho, come to think of it, pulp fiction

What's your favorite movie from 1994?

@arthistorynews Wow. Thanks

Saw this amazing, newly discovered ‘A Village on Fire’ by Wright of Derby at TEFAF in Maastricht. One of Wright’s last works, 1794. Superb, museum quality picture (with Patrick Bourne & Co).

@abbiemc Ideally, fans boycott Trumpland

The World Cup is going to be a disaster of people you like hanging out with the worst people in the world and sometimes you just gotta hope they at least don’t smile about it

@goose_herder @arthistorynews Ha! Well, he ain’t my king!

@cornishop @arthistorynews Precisely what do you mean? : )

This was how the Bank of England began its consultation on the banknotes. It's not leading, as such, but I think the framing is pretty clear.
