@CinemaTweets1 Interesting to see a film from a teacher's vantage point.

To every last person who follows me on this app: I’m begging you to watch Ryan Gosling’s performance in Half Nelson. This earned Gosling his first Oscar nomination & it’s a film that’s impossible to forget. This movie & this performance is all heart. Give this a shot this weekend

@dublin_damo Are they all your pictures?

5. Mary's Bar, Wexford town.

OK, decided to make this non-Dublin, and it's not a list of the ten 'best pubs' in Ireland, I'm not the Irish Times, just personal favourites I've been to. 10. Mick Doyle's, Graiguenamanagh.

@dan_clubbe @TheRedmenTV The freekick might be favorite goal.

Oh we love speaking to Gary Mac 🎶 More to come 🔜 @TheRedmenTV

If everyone in the world could make it their mission to be a tiny bit more like @dannykellywords, we'd all be better off. Between yourself and the doctors, this illness has no chance.

@PunKandStuff @FatOldAnarchist 'Rainy Season' folks.

Happy birthday today to the 'one and only' Howard Devoto

@SoundsClips @JJohnFoyle @U2 Berlin above U2.

@ThePCCLondon Great film - should have been seen by many more people.

@TheExtremeMusi1 Urgent.

What SONG had GREAT use of a SAXOPHONE???

@0Calamity The Sweeney is on the same channel.

Thanks to my sister for pointing out that Miami Vice is now streaming on Amazon. OMG! The nostalgia! The glitz, the glam, and the sleazy underbelly of the 80s. And, IIRC, one of the first tv series where music was used as an integral part of the plot drive rather than just "background noise"😎

@lee0969 @FatOldAnarchist @jillwebb2005 Love Elvis C. doing Bacharach and David.

On this day in 1978 No 29 UK Album Chart Various Artists “Stiffs Live Stiffs” Recorded on the 1977 Live Stiffs Tour…some great stuff on here and another difficult choice. I’ll choose “Ian Dury & The Blockheads-Billericay Dickie” how about you? #1970s #StiffRecords @jillwebb2005 @nikidoog @Carolyn_on_x @FatOldAnarchist @brunstead @SkaManD14

@XMartinsMusicX Does Better Things get enough love youtu.be/WMOWlZFRk6A?is…

Post an underrated Kinks song? 🤔 The Kinks - Celluloid Heroes (Rainbow Theatre 1977) ▶️

@broadwaybabyto Go watch Big Night.

The US women’s hockey team got a fancy meal in Milan with Stanley Tucci. The Men’s Team got McDonalds in the White House with a dictator. The women are the winners here. Thank you Stanley Tucci. A class act all the way.

@CinemaTweets1 Trees Lounge though.

I need a Steve Buscemi update from someone on this app, like who’s the Buscemi guy around these parts? What’s this guy up to lately, when can I see him in a movie next? This man’s body of work is so diverse and so timeless. I need more films from him as soon as possible.

@RB1649 @errjustsaying @labourlewis We're 4 for 4.

@errjustsaying @labourlewis Trump is an executive president ie head of government and state. That is entirely different to a ceremonial head of state such as Ireland has costing less than 1% of the cost of the monarchy. Britain would have the latter. Hope that helps

If we’re editing the line of succession, I’d suggest we go a little further than one entry. Because in a 21st century democracy, nobody should inherit constitutional power by birth. That’s the conversation we should be having.

@NYcheesy Whitfield Street.

OTD in 1977 #TheClash, recently signed to CBS Records, started recording their eponymous debut album over the next 3 weeks which would cost only £4,000 to produce.

@benphillips76 @bellacaledonia Wonder if he'd have said that to Michael D.

She handles him so well. This an exchange between a leader being an adult and a man being a boy.

@bankertobuilder Front of her house looks a bit too weird for me.

I have a customer that refuses to pay for some brick work we did 6 weeks ago. When I knocked on her door for a cold lead I told her: “Masonry runs in my blood. It’s literally why my parents named me Mason.” She hired me on the spot. She wasn’t too happy with the outcome so I sent my British site supervisor to take care of it.

Pixies formed 40 years ago this month when Kim Deal answered Black Francis’ ad in ‘The Boston Phoenix.’ She arrived at the audition without a bass since she’d never played one before. Joey Santiago picked “pixies” from a dictionary, suggesting Pixies In Panoply as their name.

@l4pablo Don't think he's missed any minutes?

We'd be in serious trouble this season without Dominik Szoboszlai! He's been absolutely outstanding for us so far. Only him, Wirtz, and Ekitike have truly shown real fight and passion for the club.

@CinemaTweets1 Great use of 'The Seeker'.

I can’t say enough good things about Steven Soderbergh’s The Limey (🌟🌟🌟🌟). This film just narrowly missed The Five Star Treatment & I honestly can’t think of anything about this film I didn’t like: it’s a 90 minute crime thriller set in LA featuring Terrence Stamp & Peter Fonda with Soderbergh just doing his thing on full blast. This is the Soderbergh Experience if I’ve ever seen it & I loved every second of this movie. Unquestionably a film I’ll revisit for the rest of my life. The plot here is very straightforward: Terrence Stamp plays a career criminal in London, but the moment he gets out? His estranged daughter, who moved to LA, is found dead in a car crash. This sends Stamp to LA on a bloodthirsty revenge tour in search of his daughter’s killer, who we learn early on is Peter Fonda, a heavy-weight music mogul caught up in the drug trade. Think of Taken before Taken, but a bit more serious & with a lot less action (compliment). When I say this film is this Soderbergh Experience, a big part of that is the editing. I fucking loved the editing here. The cutaways while a character is speaking, the constant & back and forth between different moments in time that sort of transport us to where the character is mentally- not physically. I love this cutaway editing & I’ve never understood why more directors don’t deploy it. This editing technique makes standard dialogue feel heavier- it feels more important or more mysterious. Such is the case with The Limey. When Fonda or Stamp are giving long, key stretches of dialogue, Soderbergh cuts in and out of the present moment and pulls images out of thin air that make Stamp and Fonda’s dialogue that much more interesting. Combine that with Soderbergh’s trademark use of color & his exceptional use of Los Angeles, and you’re giving a stylistic film that is really hard to forget. Before I get to Stamp, a word of Fonda. My God is he good here? Like holy shit. You guys know Jack Nicholson is my favorite actor but he learned so much of what he does from Fonda. I kinda think Fonda is someone Nicholson looked up to in certain ways. Fonda’s line delivery & swagger in this film is impossibly cool. When he talks about the late ‘60s or what he wants out of the remaining years of his life, it’s utterly breathtaking. I’ve always felt like Fonda was an underrated actor & this is definitely one of his better performances. I just really enjoyed everything he did in this movie. Then there’s Terrence Stamp- the man we just lost in August. He is the heartbeat of this film & his intensity rips off the screen. He’s in total lock-step with Soderbergh the entire film, he knows exactly what movie he’s making & exactly what’s being asked of him. Stamp’s eye contact in particular, the refusal to blink, the never-ending stare into the camera then off into the distance, is mesmerizing. You cannot look away. Stamp was a force of nature & a real artist- he didn’t care about fame & fortune, he cared about self expression. He would act in front of an audience of one- he just wanted to feel something real. You can see that in this entire film. He couldn’t be better. This film is available on the Criterion Collection. I highly recommend.
