@ohmiso My grandad was from Taurage, which is half way between Klaipeda and Kaunas apparently. He came over to the UK just after the war I think and met my grandma here 🙂

[Tim @LostinVHS]

@ohmiso I'm a quarter Lithuanian so would like to visit there one day. Definitely don't fancy winter there though!

Probably not an ideal time to make this point given recent interactions, but from a linguistics point of view I found the implication funny here

Paul develops "The Long and Winding Road" in Get Back. Love this clip, and Paul's line at the end: "there's enough obstacles without putting them in the song."

Just watched What's Up Doc (1972) which is on iPlayer at the moment. My fourth Peter Bogdanovich, after Paper Moon, The Last Picture Show, and Targets. All such different films, all extremely good. Never really kept up with who had which bag but I think it's fine.

Was out yesterday, so only just now seeing the goings-on of Pep's last game. It's strange thinking he's gone. I expect we'll drop back a bit now. Guess I won't always feel this way but if we don't win anything again, it's fine. Pre-2008 I never expected any of this to begin with.

Pretend you're Les Dennis by putting your arm around a stranger at the train station while looking up at the departure board.

@drsbne @letterboxd I liked it! Brian Cox was good and so were the moody synths on the soundtrack.

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Une Femme est Une Femme (1961), Wake in Fright (1971), The Christophers (2025), and Manhunter (1986). @letterboxd

Looks like it was a real team effort from that graphic

[Tim @LostinVHS]

Re-watched Wake in Fright (1971) last night. It's very good, and looks incredible in 4K on the big screen - but approach with caution, particularly for a kangaroo sequence that's a tough watch. Also features a young Dorothy Burke off Neighbours as a creepy hotel receptionist.

[Tim @LostinVHS]

Last night I went to see The Christophers. Found it very so-so. Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel were both good but the script was a bit too knowing: very witty but rather inauthentic. Also, I didn't realise James Corden was going to be in it 🤢 A middling three stars from me.

[Tim @LostinVHS]

Well you'll be relieved to know that I can do my #LastFourWatched now, even though it's not #LetterboxdFriday anymore: The Heiress (1949), The Girl Chewing Gum (1976), National Gallery (2014), and Floating Clouds (1955). Some good'uns this week. @letterboxd

[Tim @LostinVHS]

Watched The Heiress (1949) last night, and it was very good. It was based on Washington Square by Henry James. Olivia de Havilland was brilliant and I really liked the ambiguity in Montgomery Clift's performance. It's streaming on Channel 4 in the UK for another week.

[Tim @LostinVHS]

Was going to watch a film tonight so that I could do my last four watched for #LetterboxdFriday (I've only watched three films this week) but it's nearly 10:30 on Friday evening and I can't be bothered.

[Tim @LostinVHS]

#LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday Micro Budget (2024), Central Park (1990), Rose of Nevada (2025), and Real Life (1979). @letterboxd
