7 hours of listening to Friedkin bust people's balls while you chill, sleep, or do stuff at home.

[The American Spectator @amspectator]

Uwe Boll and Armie Hammer have little left to lose — and it shows in the year’s most incendiary film about Europe’s migrant crisis.

@ks_moody @DannyDrinksWine It doesn't quite hold together but Charles Laughton dominates as per usual. Some terrific line delivery from him.

@canyonpassage THE INDIAN FIGHTER, featuring one of the most insane battle sequences ever.

[Robert S. Cairns @robertscairns]

Always steals the show (even her five minutes as the social worker in SECRETS & LIES).

[Criterion Collection @Criterion]

Happy birthday to the brilliant Lesley Manville! 💕

Seen here in Mike Leigh's simultaneously brilliantly funny and heartbreaking GROWN-UPS (1980) — now playing on @criterionchannl in our Mike Leigh at the BBC Collection!

The King needs his rest. We work on Morrissey time, not the other way round.

[CONSEQUENCE @consequence]

Morrissey has canceled his concert in Valencia, Spain scheduled for Thursday night due to a poor night's sleep caused by a noisy hotel he was staying at.

A statement announcing the show's cancelation said that "the experience has left Morrissey in a catatonic state."

Morrissey himself added that "it will take me one year to recover. And that is an understatement."

@_GunRunn3r_ @DannyDrinksWine I also think EL DORADO is miles better than RIO BRAVO, not my most popular opinion though.

@PTApilled Motion smoothing/soap opera effect is the Devil's work!

@Melankomas Valuable series but they come with more than a bit of a finger-wag from editor George Steiner

A healthy diet of slow cinema can undo your short-form video brain damage, I’m so serious
