Political filmmaker #AlexCox was run out of Hollywood on account of his furiously anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist film 'Walker' (a writing dispute over another film contributed to his blackballing).

No matter. He went on to make his own films, in Mexico, Spain, Liverpool.

So - if you're looking for a great anti-capitalist comedy on a stay-in Saturday night, check out his penultimate film to date, 'Repo Chick', starring a comic genius named Jaclyn Jonet, Miguel Sandoval in the role he was born to play, and an ending so perfect, so hopeful, so glorious, you just want to weep.

If you haven't heard the soundtrack by #anarchist band #Chumbawamba for the #AlexCox film 'Revengers Tragedy', do yourself a favor. It's on YouTube (and yes, there is no comma in the name of the play/film).

I rewatched #StraightToHell the other night.

Still cheesy. Still crazy. Still stupid. Still intriguingly fun.

I actually clocked Elvis Costello Costed in it this time as the butler. He looks so different without his glasses.
