Peter Jackson laments the death of physical media: “You can get Blu-rays and DVDs, but they’re almost a niche product for aficionados now,” Jackson said. “Since they only sell small numbers, no studio wants to put extended features on them or to extend the cuts. We did hours and hours of behind-the-scenes material for The Lord of the Rings DVDs, and so many people have thanked me for doing them. People would watch that stuff over and over again because it inspired them to make films. That’s all gone now, and I think it’s a real shame.” Do you still get real books and DVDs?

There is an easy way to settle this little debate. Five years from now, will people remember OBSESSION as a 2025 or 2026 movie?

Hey @letterboxd, OBSESSION is a 2026 movie. Nobody cares about festival release dates!

i am begging the left, as we continue to build power, to try to be more normal. i know people don’t like to hear stuff like this but it’s true. people like you when you are pleasant and polite interpersonally!


Andy Burnham has said he will back sweeping changes to the electoral system if he becomes prime minister. The Greater Manchester mayor has previously called for the introduction of proportional representation for UK general elections theguardian.com/politics/2026/…


This Labour government will close all asylum hotels for good.


Progressive voters are unhappy that Andy Burnham voted for the Iraq war – but few remember that leftwing icon Tony Benn prepared to use troops to break a strike whilst he was a minister. “If that kind of archive existed in the late 70s, early 80s,” says @AaronBastani on Downstream, “I doubt [Benn] would have been the standard bearer of the Labour left. But people didn’t know about things that happened 20 years earlier in the way they now do.” James Butler (@piercepenniless) says that it’s “democratic” that politicians should be held accountable for their past choices – but it also feels like “people can’t change positions” anymore. “The whole communicative regime has changed, and I don’t think politics has caught up with it at all,” he adds.

Dude activity: watch Lord of the Rings on a giant screen while a live orchestra performs the entire score in sync with the movie


Today, Andy Burnham made clear he supports electoral reform and said he wanted to come into the BBC to speak for himself because he was getting annoyed at others putting words in his mouth.


I saw Obsession and thought it was great but the theater experience was really weird. Was a full house and very reactive but I guess certain scenes have gone viral on tiktok? And when those certain scenes came up, all the kids pulled out their phones to record those scenes



No your parents telling you to go pray when you were 13 is not religious trauma

it’s a 2025 movie and you would recognize this as the obviously correct way to do it if you even gave half a shit about film history.
