I'm a budding cinephile, so I think I'll just tweet about films here.

Back-to back Balsam

I am going to get to see Weapons next week 😊

Is it the kind of film that I should prioritise seeing on Laser instead of just standard?

[Ben Crellin @BenCrellin2]

I’m more anxious about the prospect of not getting to see ‘Weapons’ at the cinema than I am about the prospect of Newcastle United not signing Sesko

[Ben Crellin @BenCrellin2]

@CinePlonks Looks like I picked a perfect time to get into seeing horror movies at the cinema.

The Substance was my first one, and then 2025 has been insane with Sinners, 28 YL and Weapons

[Ben Crellin @BenCrellin2]

@CinePlonks I can only go and see it from Aug 15th onwards.
My local indie cinema gets films three weeks after release date, and I’m not sure if they’ll show Weapons.
The Odeon at the Metrocentre don’t have full listings beyond Aug 14, but I guess they should show it for more than a week.

@Joyroy7_MUFC @FilmRookie290 I love the film - I gave it 4.5 stars when I saw it at the cinema

[Ben Crellin @BenCrellin2]

Would you log a film on Letterboxd if you napped through some of it?

[Ben Crellin @BenCrellin2]

@FilmRookie290 I fell asleep during a rewatch of La Chimera

[Ben Crellin @BenCrellin2]

@soucekyoself There are a lot of ‘bits’ in the pod that only long-time listeners will get.

If I were you, I’d start with an episode on a film that you love

[Ben Crellin @BenCrellin2]

@soucekyoself hi mate, do you listen to the Blank Check podcast?

[Ben Crellin @BenCrellin2]

@soucekyoself Thankfully another friend has restored the average rating to nearly 4

[Ben Crellin @BenCrellin2]

@soucekyoself At the start of their 28 YL pod, one of the hosts said he had to walk away from a friend after the premiere when the friend started expressing a negative opinion

That’s how I reacted to your 2 star review. I almost unfriended you to get the average friend rating back up 😉

[Ben Crellin @BenCrellin2]

@soucekyoself It’s my favourite film podcast, and I love the ringer pods.

I was listening to the Big Pic for a few years before I started listening to Blank Check. I still love the Big Pic

[Ben Crellin @BenCrellin2]

I’ve never been more excited to listen to a podcast episode than I am for the @blankcheckpod ep on 28 Years Later

[Ben Crellin @BenCrellin2]

I watched 28 Days Later for the 1st time on Tuesday and I’m really looking forward to seeing 28 YL at a preview screening on June 19th

Would be people recommend watching 28WL before 28YL?
I saw Danny Boyle say an interview that 28YL is a sequel to 28DL - he didn’t mention 28WL.

@MattPurkis1210 Thanks.
My speakers are Mourdaunt-Short Pageant Series 2

[Ben Crellin @BenCrellin2]

I’m going to buy a 4k Blu-ray player at some point in the next couple of years - probably the Panasonic DP-UB820EB

To make the most out of a 4k Blu-ray player, would I need to invest in a modern sound system? I only have two vintage speakers that are twenty years older than I am

A disappointing week

[Letterboxd @letterboxd]

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Time to post your #LastFourWatched 🍑

[Ben Crellin @BenCrellin2]

I posted this image on Wednesday night but they’re still my #LastFourWatched.

I had to include my 4 faves because of the similarities between the posters in the two rows!

Woah…
