@Footinit 👏👏👏Great call. With you all the way on that one

Just watched a film about an old lady and an octopus. I may have shed a tear. I’ll leave my octopus lures at home when I go on holiday and will never eat octopus again.

What’s your favourite track on this album?

@GenTXer2 Quadrophenia

Which ONE 70s album do you think you've listened to most times all the way thru? 🤔

@S1sterDisco @JStarship @pandoramusic Great choice. A truly fantastic song. (….and those lyrics ! 🤨)

@The_Ambassador_ Oh Shit!

Supposed to see Kneecap later but the pavement had other plans

@Noirchick1 Hitchcock for me. Leads a very long list though.

Who is your favorite film director of all time?

@DannyDrinksWine Another repetitive LOVE THIS MOVIE from me 🤷‍♂️

In spite of the mixed reviews for "Cat People" (1942), word-of-mouth was very good & audiences flocked to see the movie wherever it played. The film that theatre bookers had expected would run no longer than a few days was held over week after week. It played so long at the Rialto that a number of newspaper reviewers went back for a second, more favourable look. In Hollywood, "Cat People" played a record thirteen week engagement at the Hawaii, where "Citizen Kane" (1941) first run lasted only twelve weeks. By the time the film’s general release was completed, it had earned enough money to save RKO which, in deeper financial trouble than ever before, had been forced to pink slip many of its employees. ("Val Lewton: The Reality of Terror", Joel E. Siegel, 1973)

@DannyDrinksWine First saw this as a “Satanism in New York City”double-bill on TV with Rosemary’s Baby. Marvellous movie. So glad to have it on Criterion Blu-Ray 👌

The Seventh Victim (1943) Director: Mark Robson When a young woman [Kim Hunter] is informed of her sister's [Jean Brooks] disappearance, she leaves her boarding school and heads to New York City to find her. As she starts to dig deeper, she finds that a satanic cult might have had something to do with the fate of her sister.

@DannyDrinksWine Masterpiece. Taught me at a very early age that subtitles were never something to be despised

William Friedkin on Henri-Georges Clouzot's "'The Wages of Fear" (1953): "I had seen 'The Wages of Fear' (1953) back in Chicago before I ever became a film director. I loved the film, as well as Clouzot’s other masterpiece, 'Diabolique' (1955). I came back to it about two or three years after I finished working on 'The Exorcist' (1973). It then just occurred to me that 'The Wages of Fear' was kind of a timeless theme. It was about four strangers who didn’t like each other. They were all imprisoned by their own sins, and they had to either cooperate with one another in order to survive, or blow up. It seemed to me that that was a metaphor for the world at that time, and even more so now." (William Friedkin's interview with Matthew Steigbigel, The Credits, 2013) P.S: On this day, 73 years ago, 'The Wages of Fear' (1953) premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, France.

@karl1953howman Did you get to keep the hat?

“The Flipside of Dominick Hide” last night on TPTV, moi, now I remember 🤦‍♂️

@Cookieurch 12 hour? Blimey, my 5 1/2 hour shoulder on Sunday was a record for me. What was the oven temp if you don’t mind me asking?

12 hour slow roasted harissa lamb. Get TF in. If it’s pretending to be summer today, I’m going to be eating summer style this evening.

@DannyDrinksWine A great little movie. Tourneur is often overlooked. But not by me Watched this, Cat People and Night of the Demon far too young (I sneaked downstairs) All gems!

Jacques Tourneur on how he got Val Lewton to agree to make 'I Walked with a Zombie' (1943) & the reason why he likes it more than 'Cat People' (1942): "One day I said to Val Lewton: ‘I have an idea. We are going to take Jane Eyre and we're going to do a remake of it without telling anyone, simply by radically changing the setting’. And that is how 'I Walked with a Zombie' came about. In fact, it is Jane Eyre. In order to give it a different tone, I decided to use the black singer, Sir Lancelot, as a sort of Ancient Greek Chorus commenting on the action. In my opinion, that film is more profound than 'Cat People' (1942), it is less childish." (Jacques Tourneur's interview with Bertrand Tavernier, 1971) P.S: On this day, 83 years ago, 'I Walked with a Zombie' (1943) premiered in Cleveland, Ohio, USA.

@Y2John84 Love this film 🎂

The Thing from Another World released 75 years ago today. 7 April 1951 👾

@nofendersracing @dontforgetchaos 38 Followers ! 😆 Can‘t you thousands of bots at least “ follow” each other to at least appear genuine? 🤣🤣🤣

@dontforgetchaos Nothing like showing your ignorance. We’re tired of bending to the whims of the extreme left. We’ve kept your ass afloat, we supplied weapons and intelligence during the Falklands. If you don’tlike the President that a majority elected, tough shit. You don’t get a vote or voic

The thing I’ve learnt recently, through all the hate I’m getting on this timeline. The British love Americans, we just don’t like your present cult leadership. Sadly Americans now HATE all British people because their government tells them too. That’s the difference.

@NUFCCrues Oh that is just perfect 👌

@EmilyHThom 🤣

A lot of male hysteria on the Archers at the moment, what with Tony and his cows and Brian's turn as Dick Dastardly. Linda is being the model of poise in comparison. I listen, but I can't stand it at the same time #TheArchers

@sandiekins You haven’t put one foot wrong musically today👌

Blasting on my headphones.. love it!❤️‍🔥🎶 youtu.be/hRXb7K7k7bQ

@Ginger_Tucci Keep that scrumptious grub coming. Love it! What him? Just a cunt

He’s got me. Another new internet friend. People are so angry about *checks notes* anyone enjoying things.

@Footinit @MLou500 Blimey I was listening to this just last night. It‘s derided by most purists but I’ve always had a soft spot for it. #guiltypleasures

@MLou500 I was in love with Joey Tempest. Can’t see the attraction now.

Fairplay he had a bigger perm than me...and that's saying something!!! 😅😂😂

@sashcfc And it gets even worse😔

What do we even say at this point? I’m honestly lost for words
