A little sneak peak of a documentary I’m working on about the experimental/ambient/noise scene.

A few shots of experimental noise artist Velvet Vulva performing at FTN.

Today while working at the college, I was helping a student who wanted a “retro” look to his film. I stuck a random miniDV tape in an old XL2, and it turned out to be a tape I’d used for filming while I was a student back in the year 2000.

Some bargains from this week’s Sunday market browse.

The 2FA system has become the embodiment of the “modern life is rubbish” mantra for me.

The annoyance, the inconvenience, the assumption that you’ve got a smartphone, and the assumption that you don’t mind letting your workplace put an app on your smartphone. I find it all very irksome.

For a human, writing is thinking. Even automatic writing is a kind of preconscious thinking, like a waking dream. For a machine, the production of text is not conceptual thinking, it is statistical analysis. It is recombinatorics. (So, maybe it is not even writing, per se.)

Shots of Alloway’s Auld Kirk, made famous by the Robert Burn’s poem Tam O’Shanter.

Shot on an old XL2 MiniDV Cam. Design classic!

Loaded: Lads, Mags and Mayhem Launched 30 years ago, Loaded magazine epitomised the 90s in its irreverence and appetite for hedonism. But how did it stand up to pressure to put more 'sexy babes' on the cover?

A great little pre-Top of the Pops Friday screening!

PhD induction today at University of Glasgow. Exciting!

Folk fans rejoice! Robert Wynne-Simmons' debut feature film “The Outcasts” has just been released on Blu Ray by The BFI.

Four folk horror films you need to watch before you disappear into the woods - The Daily Grail Folk horror is a genre that is difficult to define, and there are plenty of people more than willing to argue long into the night about what is and isn’t “true folk horror”. A survival of the Old Ways...

Trailer for TAKE ONE Presents... The Dinopod YouTube video by Simon Bowie

A new podcast series coming soon from @takeonecinema.net. We'll be discussing the Jurassic Park (/World) franchise in-depth like in this preview clip discussing the first film's colonialism expressed through costuming. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlQz...

Fantastic! I’ll look forward to this. The first one contains my favourite piece of foreshadowing ever - Sam Neill tying the two male ends of the helicopter seatbelt together as a visual metaphor for “Life finds a way.” - Amazing! 🙌🦕

How cool is this?!

Summerisle Pale Ale by the Five Kingdoms brewery.

They are based in Isle of Whithorn, a small village in Scotland which was utilised as a location in the Wicker Man.

To my mind, Joker and Deadpool, both of which I enjoyed, are kind of a sign that the supes are running out of steam. Creators are straining against the limitations of the formula.

Thank you. Hope you enjoy the film. If you like FH, I’d imagine you’ll have a hoot!

I’ll keep my fingers crossed it appears in your local indie. Our closest screening was Glasgow but hoping it gets a wider release.

Thank you very much!

Yeah, I’m at peace with the adherence to the traditional structure and character types. For me, that’s part of the pleasure of a ghost/folk story. It’s what makes them cosy and pleasurable.

I’m hopeful things are changing. We’re almost out of comics to adapt.

It hasn’t half. Studio films haven’t been this bland since the 50s.
