@girldrawsghosts Love McShane in Deadwood. Dourif as the doctor is outstanding.

- unlikely sweetheart, but at least she died doing what she loved, chugging jägermeister and juggling chainsaws…

RIP Sam Neill (1947-2026)

Sam Neill on why "The Piano" (1993) is an important movie in Cinema history:

"I don’t think I can overestimate how important 'The Piano' (1993) is for me in hindsight. It sits on my funny old CV like a medal on my chest. It wasn’t my film. It was Jane Campion's. I wasn’t the star of the film. That was Holly Hunter. But there is honour to be found in the second fiddle. Or fourth. No one notices you much, you don’t get nominated for things. But you served. I was there in an important feminist film. I was there on the front line in an important New Zealand film. Neither of these labels does the film justice. It’s a work of art. And look, that tiny little figure in the fabric— see down there on the right—that’s me. It’s a film that will always have a place in cinema history. And I served in it."

@ClaireMax Mostly geographical proximity. But I will cheer for other teams if my friends are excited about that success (I live in Central Texas and have friends who love the Spurs rather than the Mavs or Rockets).

@lovesicknoon WER is a good one.

[Ricky George @RickyGeorge8]

@gwenlikesmovies @lovesicknoon Catch the director's cut. I much prefer that version.

@Timobros I love THE HUNTED. Whole movie is a chase, textually and subtextually.

[Ricky George @RickyGeorge8]

#ForbiddenFruit drops on @Shudder Love the movie. Immediately after, listen to @ThisEndsAtProm ep on the movie. Just what I hoped for. Good stuff.

@SheaSerrano Love Rounders. My fave Norton might be 25th HOUR.

@girldrawsghosts I got Coyle on bootleg after reading an essay about it in the back of Ed Brubaker, Sean Phillips comic CRIMINAL. Essay written by @SunsetGunShot I think. Later bought Criterion.

@jpalmiotti BOP the most fun of DC movies of its time for me. Solo movie would have been an unqualified hoot.

@RichardERoeper I suspect this law will be ... Bourne out.

[Ricky George @RickyGeorge8]

@deathjitsu @yui_antinomy This was my 1st choice...

[Ricky George @RickyGeorge8]

@VyceVictus @yui_antinomy My fave podcast @JunkfoodCinema likened The Equalizer to a F13th movie once you get to the final fight in the home goods store.

[Ricky George @RickyGeorge8]

@WrestlerHauser Love The Salton Sea.
