There are still no approved treatment for Long Covid. I work very hardy to enjoy what I can, and if you've seen my in the last three years, you know I try and stay positive.21 Jul 2025 09:24 +0000at://did:plc:73kroxfvv7nxjmokupjlu3pg/app.bsky.feed.post/3luho6s32is2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/jimmydeanfilm.bsky.social/post/3lssozkb5bk2730 Jun 2025 07:47 +0000at://did:plc:73kroxfvv7nxjmokupjlu3pg/app.bsky.feed.post/3lssozkb5bk27https://bsky.app/profile/jimmydeanfilm.bsky.social/post/3lpcdimrtw22dHonestly @secondrun.bsky.social never miss. Really loved taking a break from moving stress to watch Juraj Herz's decadent period piece. Incase you missed the wave of reviews on release, it's not too late to grab a copy of this striking film.

We are dying to get back to work and we are also dying from lack of research, clinical trials and treatments. Starmer's ignorance and proposed cuts are evil. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/mar/12/keir-starmer-could-face-biggest-rebellion-over-disability-benefit-freeze13 Mar 2025 12:14 +0000at://did:plc:73kroxfvv7nxjmokupjlu3pg/app.bsky.feed.post/3lkb34gof2k22https://bsky.app/profile/jimmydeanfilm.bsky.social/post/3ljb252ldi22eFinished my Battlestar rewatch. I love the shows intentions, its interrogation of humanity, its explorations of faith. I also love its imperfections - I think there's a lot of soul in writing week to week, it feels organic and messy in a way that works for me.28 Feb 2025 18:32 +0000at://did:plc:73kroxfvv7nxjmokupjlu3pg/app.bsky.feed.post/3ljb252ldi22ehttps://bsky.app/profile/jimmydeanfilm.bsky.social/post/3liz4nzvi7k2jNomad & My Heart is That Eternal Rose are two of the most beautiful films I’ve ever seen. This @filmsradiance.bsky.social release is stunning - it was pleasure to swim in the imagery of David Chung & Christopher Doyle. Now desperate to see more Patrick Tam.

Olmos, McDonnell, Bamber, Callis & Sackhoff have always carried the dramatic weight of the human fleet, but Michael Hogan's emergence as the heartbeat of the show is so welcome. A truly extraordinary actor.19 Feb 2025 09:11 +0000at://did:plc:73kroxfvv7nxjmokupjlu3pg/app.bsky.feed.post/3lijgmz7pys2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/jimmydeanfilm.bsky.social/post/3lgfy7ejhgk2uConsidering that The Exorcist and The French Connection had considerable impact on me, I'm sorely under-watched when it comes to William Friedkin.

I've learned to enjoy what I can, but find myself reflecting on another year of constant cancellations and complete lack of freedom. It is crushing watching life go by without you. Praying 2025 brings new research and treatments.21 Dec 2024 11:31 +0000at://did:plc:73kroxfvv7nxjmokupjlu3pg/app.bsky.feed.post/3ldssi7og422vhttps://bsky.app/profile/jimmydeanfilm.bsky.social/post/3ld7tsfoams2cDangerous To Know finally delivered the Anna May Wong performance I've been looking for in the B-Movies she made for Paramount. The film explodes into life in the last 10 thanks to Wong's luminous, heartbreaking turn. She finds incredible depth in thin material & hits such melodramatic highs.13 Dec 2024 22:34 +0000at://did:plc:73kroxfvv7nxjmokupjlu3pg/app.bsky.feed.post/3ld7tsfoams2chttps://bsky.app/profile/jimmydeanfilm.bsky.social/post/3lcy44qzlmc25Adored this new release from @secondrun.bsky.social. Loved having the opportunity to discover Zimmerman’s filmography. Estate, a Reverie is one of my favourite first watches of the year.

A sensitive and thoroughly-researched re-telling of a horrific moment in history. A tragic read that I'll be reflecting on for a long time.03 Dec 2024 12:10 +0000at://did:plc:73kroxfvv7nxjmokupjlu3pg/app.bsky.feed.post/3lcfmavgcmk2shttps://bsky.app/profile/jimmydeanfilm.bsky.social/post/3lbtmvq2ad22jI haven't stopped thinking about Tsai Ming-Liang's Days since I watched it last week. A gorgeous mediation on life and connection. I wrote about the latest essential @secondrun.bsky.social release for @thegeekshow.bsky.social.
