There’s A LOT going here. Beautiful. Baffling. Mercurial. Enthralling. Frustrating. Powerful. All of the above. Gonna need to sleep on this one

Seeing them live is something I’ve always wanted to do but never got round to. Feels like it’ll be pretty wild

Not sure who needs to hear this but the new Gorillaz album seriously slaps. Given it several spins now and it’s some seriously higher plane shit and by far their best stuff for a long, long time

#HowToMakeAKilling is solid but no more than that. An easy watch with a fun concept but plays it way too safe. Not funny enough as a comedy nor nasty enough as a thriller & while Glen Powell is decent, I’m yet to be convinced he can kick it as the leading man everyone wants him to be (including me)

Tempted to say Pixar are back with this one. My packed preview screening of kids cracking up at the lizard and the emoji jokes suggests they have a hit on their hands 🦫🦫πŸͺ΅πŸͺ΅πŸ¦ŽπŸ¦Žβ€οΈπŸ₯”

While #Hoppers isn’t peak Pixar, it’s comfortably one of their best efforts in years. There are points where the plot gets too silly for its own good yet stellar animation, bags of energy, a well executed concept, tonnes of heart, good humour & an honourable message combine for a dam good time 🦫πŸͺ΅β€οΈπŸ¦ŽπŸ₯”

I was always planning to give it a swerve due to all the Melissa Barrera nonsense but honestly I'm just not sure I'd be that bothered to watch the *checks notes* seventh Scream film anyway

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

Absolutely delighted for Robert Aramayo and I Swear’s #BAFTAs. Such a deserved win for both and I just hope this gets more eyeballs on the film because it so warrants as big an audience as it can get
