Another Sunday, another morning trip to the @ThePCCLondon to see a Kubrick film that I’ve never seen before, Barry Lyndon.

Dipping into this set this evening and so far it’s been a surprisingly good watch. I feel this is prime material for @Diamandahagan to check out.

Post has arrived from the @indicatorseries sale, a boxset that is so niche that I can’t find much information beyond an interesting YouTube documentary on the guy. I’d love to know the behind the scenes of this blu ray set.

Art by Martyn and Roger Dean and Richard Clifton-Dey originally intended for Jeff Wayne’s 1977 War of the Worlds album, but never used.

ALTERNATIVE 3 (1977): Anglia's brilliant April Fool drama about a conspiracy amongst elites to flee a dying Earth for the safety of Mars, leaving us proles in the dust. It spawned a loopy conspiracy theory, still propogated on American websites. Don't go down that rabbit hole...

The one page Variety article that Terry Gilliam took out in October 1985, challenging Universal studio head Sid Sheinberg to release BRAZIL.

First @ThePCCLondon trip of the year and what better way to start than a watch of one of the best trilogies made.

Watched ‘The Regulars’ at the @ThePCCLondon , which is the same cinema it was shot in.
What is your record for shortest distance between where you saw a movie and where it was shot

Catching up on @calvindyson’s latest video and hearing Haworth and Brighouse name dropped made me remember how much I love my home village over Christmas. Great book collection video!

#OnThisDay 1996: Drama, Our Friends in the North began, starring Christopher Eccleston, Daniel Craig, Mark Strong and Gina McKee as four Geordie friends. The series depicted a changing Britain from the 1960s to the 1990s. Read about the series here: bbc.co.uk/historyofthebbc/fr…

For my money, arguably Pacino’s best performance.
Don't miss the return of Al Pacino as undercover cop Frank Serpico in Sidney Lumet's iconic 1973 crime drama, SERPICO! Catch it showing Thursday 22nd January. 🎟️ buff.ly/II63esa

Just realised next weekend is going to be a messy one with Friday the 16th seeing @lloydkaufman at the Genesis cinema for a Troma screening. Then the day after I’m paying my first visit to @thenickelcinema to watch Meet The Feebles. My mind is going to be truly warped by the end.

When Nolan unintentionally adapted the A, B & C episode of the Prisoner to the big screen, always worth checking out.
After 15 years since its release, Christopher Nolan's INCEPTION remains one of the filmmaker's greatest works. See Leonardo DiCaprio in this sci-fi classic, showing from 35mm, on 12th January and 4th February. 🎟️ buff.ly/7MCAuU8

A very niche post arrived today that’s a film trailer for one of the X-Files films. Not bad for £2.
