Had such a great time with @bristoluni.bsky.social today showing Back to the Future on the big and beautiful Megascreen today. I've seen it a hundred times and it's never looked or sounded better. Such a treat!

(Yes, he’s still alive after all these hard hits and falls he took in his teens and twenties)

I’ve been thinking about the outright discrimination American distributors have shown towards films like No Other Land, Gaza: Doctors Under Attack and other titles, that have been unjustly exiled.

The unexpected running gag about Forester's hairline is mint
It reminded me of “Sylvia’s Mother” or a Douglas Sirk film… in that if you keep your distance you can laugh at the manic hyperbole of it all… But if you let it in (even just a little) then the neuroses, the rawness, the emotional hyperbole and existential tragedy will destroy you
