I've started to upload snippets, movies and TV shows to my Youtube channel. Nothing major but you may find the odd film I have covered on the blog over there (depending on the copyright limitations). It's a useful placeholder for the many items I have collected over the years. Most stuff on there is probably available elsewhere, but some of it isn't/wasn't. A good example is Blade in Hong Kong. I bought this off Ebay on VHS several years ago and paid a guy in Sham Shui Po to digitise it for me. I've uploaded it to YouTube for everyone to watch/download. I'm not sure how easy it would have been for others to see this film otherwise. It may not be the world's best movie, but it has some great locations in there as well as a rare turn for Leslie Nielsen as a bad guy.
More will come over time, but some are destined for perpetual limbo due to copyright. Despite trying to upload Men of the Dragon, Narazumono and Yellow Emanuelle, they are all blocked by YouTube due to copyright claims. So, I will upload and share what I can, when I can.
This hopefully also helps with another major issue I have had over the years - broken video links. Many times in the past I have pasted links to films featured on the blog, only to see the linked account (and video) disappear a short while later. A good example of this is Desperate Mission. The account I found it on originally (and linked to) is now gone, but luckily I had downloaded a copy and have reuploaded to my own account.

Regarding Twitter. I deleted my Twitter/X account a while back. It was only really a place holder account for auto-posting and I never really went on there much. I have shifted my Social Media over to Bluesky, so you can find me there if you want to interact:
