As someone who has grown up adoring the original two #Ghostbusters films & also adored Afterlife, I am so heartbroken to hear that #IvanReitman has passed away. RIP to one of my favourite filmmakers ever.

@BadWolfArchives There is little I find more thrilling than a new Doctor reveal. I can't wait to see who 14 will be!

@2point4podcast You should see some of my typos where I can't even blame predictive text! I'm so uptight about it I'll delete and repost any tweet if I catch an error.

Re-visiting the #IT #films by Andres Muschietti & as someone who grew up w/the 1990 miniseries, I favour this adaptation of this story for the most part. Some good #fanfiction around for anyone who ships Richie/Eddie, too as well as some nice gen stories.

@Benjamin35836 @Classicbritcom @DameRutherford I finally watched Blithe Spirit (1945) the other day for the first time & Dame Margaret effortlessly stole the entire film. Love her in the Marple flicks, too.

@HorrorHammer1 He was so effortlessly suave in that role.

Being a #Twitter user appears to be nothing more than shouting into a void unless you are a blue tick or a big name fan. I miss blogs, forums & even mailing lists. No matter what, I'd always get engagement in those days.

Enjoying a free trial w/the @calm app. Huge fan of the #WinnieThePooh series...gorgeous!

@TinseltownTwins One of my favourite disaster movies, especially from the glut of those release in the 1970s. Maureen's performance is heartbreakingly good.

Watched my first real #RalphBakshi #film (#CoolWorld (1992) doesn't count in my eyes) last month - #AmericanPop (1981) & am going to explore more of his work after being blown away. So next up is #FireAndIce (1983).

Treated myself to The Grey Man of the Mountain, a #BigFinish #DoctorWho audio adventure written by @LMMyles, & I can't rec it highly enough. It's a story that really showcases just how brilliant DW can be. I absolutely loved it!

[Bella Donna @watchingstorms]

I am so nostalgic for phase 1 of #MCU so I'm going to re-watch. I can't wait until I get to #TheAvengers (2012) & the circle scene, it gives me the most amazing spine-tingling chills every single time.

@seventiesuk The ladies at my primary school, that I first attended in 1988, did not look much different from this!

[Bella Donna @watchingstorms]

Time to do a #DoctorWhoFlux re-watch. I had too much going on in my personal life to properly take it all in during the original airing. Though I still think I'll have massive issues w/the finale, like I so often do w/this show.

@CitizenScreen She was so beautiful. One of my favourite classic stars by far.

Thanks to #smartphones all deciding to get rid of their headphone jacks purely because #Apple did it first, I've dug out my 15 yr old #iPod classic & am now going to be using that to host my music collection. Sometimes these big tech firms are not as progressive as they think.

[Bella Donna @watchingstorms]

@GeorgeTakei For me, Julie Andrews IS Mary Poppins. Nobody else can ever do that role to my liking because the original performace was just that good.

[Bella Donna @watchingstorms]

Watching #GhostbustersAfterlife (2021) is even more enjoyable a second time. #McKennaGrace blew me away all over again, she is a phenomenal talent. The ending made me cry again, too! I am so happy the true GB3 got made.

I've been listening to #AllSaints #music for the first time in ages & I always manage to forget how good this girl group were. They were so cutting edge for the time, & the songs still sound fresh & current.
