I think it went quite well! Massive props to @JRichardKelly for recording a fantastic intro for us. Big applause from the audience afterwards!

@Filmhouse Saturday 4th July 2026 #SouthlandTales 8pm. @JRichardKelly

Where will you be?

@kmstx78 To be fair, it's a pretty terrible movie. I just thought I'd roll the dice.

@SpecterM91 Yup, this is total bollocks. All my dvds from the 90s and 00s are still in good condition because I store them in folders in a dry place.
This guy's either stupid or trying to get attention. Fuck him.

How about that then? Join me for #southlandtales on July 4th, at #filmhouse for the ultimate celebration of the American Dream. (And happy Independence Day, and Pride, to all to celebrate.)
I will be introducing the film with my trademark wit and flair.

@fuckyouiquit As a professional wrestler *and* a porn star before accepting the presidency, Camacho genuinely understood the value of hard work. Neither of those jobs are as easy as they look!

@am_cinematheque Southland Tales!

[Simon Read 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏳️‍🌈 @SimonRead1984]

@HorrorPaperback The only thing I remember about that film, aside from the opening scene, is when Gabriel Byrne asks his crew if they've ever heard of the legend of the Mary Celeste, and they all shake their heads. Nope.

They are a *professional salvage crew*. They're sailors. I mean... really?

@foreignhorrorhq "Nigel Healey says 'apparently'," is a repeated phrase from this film that pops into my head quite often.

@TheSpectator Is this satire?

@Variety The weirdest thing is that this award was given immediately following a special 70mm screening of Battlefield Earth. The French just love that movie! 🤷‍♂️

As far as socially positive acts go, I think this might just be my masterpiece.

If you send fascist literature through my letterbox, I will graffiti it and stick it to my bus stop.

"What?"
"Never mind."
