Thrilled to be introducing the Irish premiere of the 4K restoration of John Woo's The Killer, a formative film for me and a guaranteed good time at the pictures, as part of the East Asia Film Festival on Thursday 19th, 20.45, at the IFI. Full programme here: www.eaffi.ie

A perfect TV show. No notes. Absolute scenes. Incredible. #TheTraitors
I thought Miles Caton might have bumped out Elordi.
It's only taken a month for this Christmas card to travel from Dublin 3 to Dublin 12.
Those postage price increases well and truly earned.
Bananas. TV for Etonians.
If you're not familiar, it was a panel quiz show based entirely around classical music. One of the rounds involved the host playing a piece of classical music on a silenced piano. You had to name the tune from the clicking keys alone. Utterly mental.
I will never not be completely gobsmacked by Face the Music, repeated on BBC4 on Monday nights. Surely the most elitist game show ever made. And primetime TV back in its day. Unreal.
'Are in a couple'? You what? #TheTraitors
Where do I send book recs?!?!
ABSOLUTE. SCENES.

Well that was an absolute joy. Thanks to Maggie O'Farrell and Chloé Zhao for being such warm, giving, interesting interviewees in front of a packed screen one this afternoon.
Thanks to everyone at the @irishfilminstitute.bsky.social for asking me to host...

Henri Leconte has a lot to answer for.
I see the Guardian has come up with a completely original, never-seen-before, film trivia game. The grid... it's almost like a matrix of cinema or something...?
Looks like we should get more tech billionaires to write hit pieces.
I wonder if the very elaborate, specific and NOT AT ALL serial killer way some people spoiled their votes, while also giving Maria Steen their #1, might give her camp pause for thought. #aras25

Captcha really coming for me today, huh?
Catherine Connolly uses the big light.
