So happy to wake up to this.

If you want to know what’s going on in Brazil, read this thread:

I’m so excited about seeing the new Lee Chang-dong film this weekend that I’m writing this.

The 2026 @belfastfilmfest.bsky.social programme launched last week. There are so many great films to see and I can’t wait to share them! belfastfilmfestival.org/whats-on

“The teeth of the roadkill was everything in that moment.”

The body issue? Surely there’s more than one…

This is a bit Bloomsbury-centric, but is every other TV drama shot in Senate House? It seems like everything has a sequence inside a marbled, mid-century government-esque building. (The University of London must make a fortune in location fees.)

Suddenly everyone’s a Greek mythology expert.

1. Why did I put off seeing this film? 2. Now I have to watch it again, this time not through tear-filled eyes holy shit

Why didn’t they just go with “Sugar heist”? We would have understood!

Why do I always find Nicolas Cage in my old notebooks?

Best ice-rink coffee pots since Beauty And The Beast On Ice at the King’s Hall in 1994.

How terribly sad. She was brilliant.

I've just signed to call on Belfast City Council to keep 2 Royal Avenue as a community space. Will you sign too? my.actnowni.org/petitions/ke...

Luckily my dog will never die so it’s fine.

Does anyone else sometimes focus on a date so hard (eg. a deadline) that when the next day finally comes around and shows on your phone screen you feel like Bill Murray waking up to a different radio show in Groundhog Day? As in, the idea of it was previously unimaginable? Just me, then.

Everyone is sharing wonderful Udo Kier memories so here’s mine: once in Rotterdam, I was going up an escalator while he was coming down. We didn’t even lock eyes or anything. True story.

Woohoo! @belfastfilmfest.bsky.social is here!

The 25th Belfast Film Festival is now on sale belfastfilmfestival.org

No, thanks.

I’ve only ordered one meal in Czechia so far, but I’m pretty sure they all come with a knife sticking out of them.

Great programme. Despite the revisiting and recognition of Wanda over the last 10 years or so Barbara Loden remains an enigmatic figure. What I know of her comes mostly from interviews on YT and old newspaper profiles around the release of Wanda describing her as Elia Kazan’s wife and not much else.

Blue Origin sounds like a terrible ‘90s surfer clothing line.

Thinking about CONCLAVE (which I have yet to see), the ridiculousness of the religious thriller, and Monty Python’s sketch about the bishop youtu.be/iqgaX_skm8w?...

This is a £240 ‘art toy’ marketed to me by my oat milk subscription service. It’s Nathan Barley’s world and we’re just living in it.

Having successfully avoided BACK TO BLACK thus far, seeing the first two minutes in which Marisa Abela’s Amy swoons at the mention of Ella Fitzgerald when the actual Amy didn’t rate her, was quite enough for me.

Ah, the Late Streaming Era. People clamber over each other to predict the end of anything (especially if it involves moving image).

ANATOMY OF A FALL should come with the warning that P.I.M.P. will be stuck in your head for the rest of your life.

I could really do with George’s iToilet app rn.

Doing some archival research and spotted the Radio Times listings for this day 60 years ago. The more things change, the more they stay the same, right?

Lest we forget.

I gave up Instagram and now I miss the New Yorker cartoons the most.

Now I’m going to watch The Killer and drink some cava.

Made the mistake of going on twitter. What an irksome place, full of riled up, condescending morons whipping each other up into a frenzy. Hello, Blue Sky and sweet relief!

Only a centrepiece table ashtray would enhance my experience of drinking Bailey’s while watching the restaurant scene in Marathon Man.

Sometimes Guardian headlines are just one-liners: “Remote employees ‘don’t work as hard’, says head of world’s biggest commercial landlord.”
