Finished listening to the entire run of ROCKY FORTUNE with Frank Sinatra. True, only 25 episodes but given how rarely I manage to finish an Old Time Radio show, it's worth a mention.

LIPS OF BLOOD (1975)
Whenever I am under the weather, ideally feverish, I always turn to either Jess Franco or Jean Rollin. Today it was Rollin's turn. Doctor's orders.

Watched DIABOLIK, CHI SEI?
Proof that it is still possible to direct stylish thrillers in 2025. Gotta loves me some split screen miracles.
And any films that casts not just Monica Bellucci but also Barbara Bouchet is an instant classic for me.

It's been about three decades since I first watched ZARDOZ for the one and only time. I have now upgraded my opinion from "utter disaster" to "fascinating folly". Give me one two more rewatches and I may declare this a masterpiece.

I've always thought that WEEDS ripped its premise from BREAKING BAD but today noticed that it premiered three years prior to that show so that it was in fact the other way round.

I think I'll be starting a petition for a moratorium on any mention of Occam's Razor in crime film or fiction of any type. It's become such a tired cliché.

Saw Gabriel Byrne last night at the Cork Film Festival.
In actual fact sat right behind him when DEFENCE OF THE REALM was shown.

Great choice of films.
I have never managed to finish a single LB challenge as my viewing habits are way too scatterbrained and I seem to lack the discipline to stay the course.

I am months behind with updating my photography website but am slowly catching up again.
These are from a steampunk shoot at an abandoned railroad track in April.
I also started experimenting with medium format.
