Thanks for the shout-out guys!

I loved talking about this movie. A classic.

[At the Flicks @AttheflicksPod]

Witchfinder General. Talking Pictures 9:55pm. A powerful British horror feature from Michael Reeves who died tragically young. If you want to learn more about this film, check out episode 2 of @PodcastMassacre series on Tony Tensor. An unforgettable movie. #HorrorMovies

@bitchbi45 Let's also call out that women are allowed to be flirty without wanting to sleep with you.

Life would be very dull if all we were ever allowed to be was "polite" for fear of misinterpretation.

[Val Thomas @ValThomasNZ]

@8bltG Substitute "coffee" for "whisky" and I'm there.

[Val Thomas @ValThomasNZ]

I am a very calm, collected person at work.

Normally.

But today I had enough. I didn't shout. I didn't use names. But I threatened to quit, with immediate effect.

And fuck me, it felt good.

#NowWatching Nightmare in Wax for the poster. Check this out:

"Frozen into ZOMBIES! DOOMED to UNSPEAKABLE HORRORS! At the mercy of a FIENDISH MADMAN in a CHAMBER OF TORTURE!"

Oh, 1960s horror movie poster. Don't you know you had me at "doomed to unspeakable horrors"

#OnMyWalk Outside again today with my cane, by myself for 1st time!! My neighbor took this pic with her irises so I could show my Jimi Hendrix tshirt. Psychedelic mask to honor Jimi by ⁦@ElectricStyles1⁩. Thanks for all your encouragement! Sending Love To You All💗🌷🎉🌞💗

I regret to announce a delay in the publication of episode 4.

My stupid shitty dumbarse job has taken over my life lately and something has to give.

So I'll be on a short hiatus. I'll be back with the #ShelleyWinters story in June.

Apologies.

@juliacmarchese I would have loved to sample Tampopo's noodles.

[Val Thomas @ValThomasNZ]

@HorrorDaddysRUs No longer exclusively horror, but the first 3 episodes of @BigBiograph have been very horror-centric....!

And thanks for this thread... I think I follow most people here but there are a few names I don't recognise!

Banned Media is a fascinating collection of tales about things that are... FORBIDDEN!

Ronnie is a terrific presenter and he wants to INJECT his knowledge DIRECTLY INTO YOUR BRAIN via your EARS.

That is way less disgusting than it sounds.

[Ronnie Ursenbach @RonnieUrsenbach]

New episode of the Banned Media Podcast! This week we take our first delve into the world of fashion with our look at the Zoot Suit and the riots they inspired. https://t.co/KKh7NvSvn2

@AquaDaylight If we're talking horror then The Fly by a long way.

But if we're talking all genres then True Grit.

[Val Thomas @ValThomasNZ]

@BainConnal 4 movies you saw in the cinema as a kid...

Yes, I saw one of the most banned films of all time at the tender age of FIVE.

[Val Thomas @ValThomasNZ]

@_chloeswarbrick I'm a Brexit escapee. I've seen where this sort of rhetoric goes.

Nowhere good.

Putting altruism aside, it's in the interests of pākehā to call out this stuff too.

If we let opportunistic politicians divide us, the only people who benefit are those same opportunists.

[Val Thomas @ValThomasNZ]

@HorrorQueenNeve It kind of depends on if I've been drinking or not.

Add pizza and beer and this is a GREAT movie.

[Val Thomas @ValThomasNZ]

@the_invisible_a Maybe he IS just CGI and some tubby old fellow provides the voice...!

[Val Thomas @ValThomasNZ]

My wife on #TomCruise :

"I like him because of his secret life and his weirdness. It means you know nothing about him and it's like he's not even an actual person. That's why he's convincing in every part. You don't know who he even is. He's like a living special effect."

[Val Thomas @ValThomasNZ]

@JungGaj @BainConnal True! He was a great actor, and a wonderful Bela.

[Val Thomas @ValThomasNZ]

#InSearchofDarknessII was such fun. I just finished it.

My revelation coming away from it was #JackieKong.

I'm embarrassed to say I've not seen any of her films but she talked with such humour & intelligence I want to see them now.

@90sCourt @alexaustinw That experience, plus the giddy, confused feeling of hearing about these "broadband" modems that allowed you to use the internet AT THE SAME TIME as the phone!! Mind-blowing.

Don't get me started on wireless technology. "You mean you're NOT EVEN PLUGGED IN to the internet????"
