    If you haven’t seen the film whose poster is in my background pic, it’s one of the best ‘end of the world’ films made. The script and direction are outstanding. Now is the time to see it! #filmsky #Heatwave #ClimateChange

    My colourisation of Hazel Brooks, film noir goddess nicknamed the "Human Heatwave". She is travelling on an American Airlines plane in the 1940s. Seats facing each other. Usually a sleeping area further down the plane.

    Probably something like “The Adventures of Captain Cold & Heatwave” and a possible hint at a future Flash movie at the end

    Gonna be 100 today! I watched the 1974 Made-For-TV movie HEATWAVE to know what to do, but it was mostly just sweaty people in polyester yelling at each other. I'm not sure how that helps.🔥😡💀

    Saw another of the Marilyn Monroe season at the bfi. Tonight it was There's No Business Like Show Business (1954), where steals every scene she's in & sings a song called Heatwave! Also Irving Berlin songs. It's a fun film, showing the move from vaudeville to more modern performers.

    🟠it's a weird performance from Purcell too sorta halfway between his manic Heatwave and the more subdued bruised stuff he used to do, but yeah the whole movie is playing really coy with him and the legend of the vampire for a series that OPENED with the blood god La Sangra being real

    During COVID I developed a sort of nostalgia every time I watched a film with a scene in a crowded bar. I'm now getting the same sort of feeling when watching anything when it's raining. #drought #heatwave

    #uk #heatwave #weather It was so hot today, David and I went to see #DisclosureDay. It was...a film. Did anybody else spot the major easter egg in it? Y'had'ta be quick. When we got out into the blazing sun afterwards, D said, "The day AFTER Disclosure Day would have been more interesting."

    I recently donated my original posters for the Heatwave music festival listing The Clash (they never agreed to play and didn't) and the movie Rude Boy (featuring The Clash) to my local record shop.

    Hi Heatwave, there's a movie called "Pressure" basically about two meteorologists views of the weather prior to the D-Day invasion of Normandy. It's not riveting, but I thought of you the majority of time I watched it. You might enjoy it.

    My colourisation of Hazel Brooks, photographed by Peter Stackpole in 1948 for LIFE magazine. She was described as the 'Human Heatwave' and starred in many film noirs of that period.

    Bit of a Heatwave rip off, but I've always liked it a lot. Was a Northern Soul record. Never heard of that film - any good?
