Not maybe the most substantive of observations, but Lesley Manville's do in this movie is a multifaceted miracle of modern hairdressing. youtu.be/FeD_KEGIU_Q?...
Though I wonder if the AI actually specified "waxen Tom Cruise fights ossified Brad Pitt" in order to get this result. Bit more respect for it if so.
I can sorta understand an actor, fight choreographer, cinematographer, editor or director reacting this way to this slopshit. But dude, if the discovery that a robot can write the words "Tom Cruise fights Brad Pitt" freaks you out, it was over for you as a writer a long time ago.
Just contemplating the number of original films that could be made with the however many bazillion dollars they'll spend on this total redundancy.
Get a life, loser.
Putting on University Challenge while I do some pre-festival housework and alternating between bellowing "Get a clue, moron!" when someone doesn't know an answer I do know, and "Get a life, loser!" when they know something I don't.
I've become so obsessed with the song after watching this show that despite being largely country-averse, I now have three versions of The Bullfighter on regular rotation. And I think I like this one even more than Joleen Brown's. youtu.be/w7AzDyUk8H0?...
I've watched this movie – one of the greatest romantic comedy capers of all time – at least 15 or 20 times and never realised that Johnny Williams is John Williams. I do tend to be a bit score-stupid but jeez, Kiang, get it together. 2nd-last track a particular era-summoning banger.
Lol, actually have a pair on their way to me!
just so it can refreeze tonight to a nice, glassy finish tomorrow
[there were no results, suggesting a market for some enterprising Temu manufacturer]
Not to suggest I'm at all concerned about the weather in relation to next week's Berlinale opening ceremony, but I did just search for "red carpet crampons"
Actually way too easy is my complaint
Read Carlos Hernández's posthumous words of sorrow, anger, compassion and resilience, and resolve to try in whatever small way you can to re-illuminate a dark world made even dimmer by his death. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Now we just need Timothée Chalamet to save bookstores and Chappell Roan and/or Zendaya to launch a print daily and then all we'd have to do is sabotage a few cryochambers and wait for these shitbird billionaires to die.
Teyana Taylor in her chainmail Tom Ford dress at the 2026 Grammys looking better than any human woman has ever looked
A bit late posting this because every time I look at it I pass out or go temporarily blind. I think we can all agree the whole phenomenon has now peaked and nobody ever needs to walk a red carpet again.
Read the fantastic review that Paul Thomas Anderson namechecked as one of the best things he's read recently, while accepting the London Critics Circle screenplay award last night. (I also strongly endorse it, but I'm perfectly willing to second-bill myself behind PTA.)
I presume you know that you got a personal namecheck from PTA last night from the stage of the LFCC awards for this review? Much deserved of course, but ah, the distinctive sound of a hundred hacks in blacktie dying of jealousy!
You too, Amon! A pleasure.
Only 1/3 in, but the new Ian McEwan is so good? Brilliantly summons our current, prelapsarian moment from a speculative future that treats us with scorn and awe. Perhaps the iceberg that sank the Titanic was not as significant to posterity as the beautifully manicured arrangement of its deckchairs.
Super excited to finally confirm LIGHT PILLAR, the 14th film in our absolutely banging Berlinale Perspectives lineup: www.berlinale.de/en/2026/news...
A minority perhaps, but a mighty one, Katie! (I really like it too, and think it's doing something super interesting.)
It's a very specific klaxon, but we need one for Frank Dillane being cast in the new Justine Triet movie. His turn in URCHIN, (alongside Harris Dickinson as director) was one of my biggest revelations of 2025.
Yep, and also newly enshittified gmail is now upchucking hundreds of promo and newsletter-type mails (not priority but also not spam) into my main inbox. Then each time I try to move one back to its proper tab they ask me to "share" it? Greedy little slop-merchant fuckers can fuck all the way off.
I'm sorry but if you can't turn an honest-to-God ancient Venetian curse involving gay sailor murder and famous rock band deaths into a unique bonus feature that adds several more million to the asking price, you're just not a very good estate agent.
Agreed, but can we pour one out for SIRAT, about which I feel much same way (and which deservedly won the inaugural European Film Award for Casting the other night).
RAGING about SINNERS being totally shut out of Best Documentary Short. Time we called out this category's bullshit systemic bias against films that are not documentaries or shorts.
stop threatening me with a good time. stop warning me about the possibility of cake. stop admonishing me to alter my behaviour lest there be, at some point in the future, joy.
(Kate Bush over APRIL absolutely shouldn't work but is somehow great??)
