A lovely piece!

“London will die a little death”: Paul Mescal, Christopher Nolan and Danny Boyle on why we need the Prince Charles Cinema London’s movie mecca has been an indelible part of the capital’s cultural landscape since it opened in the ‘60s.

This by @jackarking.bsky.social speaks loud and clear. Great to see so many big names in the film industry (Paul Mescal! Christopher Nolan! Robert Eggers! and more) have such a passionate reaction to this very shitty news from earlier this week www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/prin...

Severance's eerie Arsenal FC myth, debunked As far as creator Dan Erickson is aware, the recurrence of Arsenal player names on Apple's workplace drama is all one big coincidence

The least likely piece of reporting from me: asking Severance creator Dan Erickson on the fan-theorized connection between SEVERANCE and Arsenal FC on behalf of British GQ. Confused? @jackarking.bsky.social explains...

Daniel Craig on his post-Bond freaky era: “I'm older and I care less” Their new film sees Craig play a drug-addicted American expat who pursues a younger man in '50s Mexico City. Here, the actor and director duo break down their unique collaboration

“I’m just older and just, I care less.” I spoke to Daniel Craig and Luca Guadagnino about their magnificent QUEER: www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/dani...

Guadagnino on Craig’s star power: “He’s like Bette Davis to me.”

One of my favourite scenes comes at QUEER’s mid-point and sees a particularly hammered Lee pursue Drew Starkey’s Allerton to a house party. It was wonderful to hear Guadagnino and Craig break it down together:

Redmayne is really terrific in it, too. One of the better “A-listers do TV” performances of that recent trend

Late to the party but had a tremendous time with LOVE LIES BLEEDING, which reminded me a ton of TITANE in its gnarly attention to dysmorphia and the violence we enact on our bodies. Plus DRIVE for clearer reasons of style and genre. So gross and romantic

Ben Whishaw breaks down Black Doves: “I liked that this was a queer guy who shot people for a living” Plus, the actor weighs in on whether or not hitman-for-hire Sam is a good person, shooting his “incredibly romantic” action sequence, and what he wants to see in season two

Black Doves is a gritty gay spy thriller that's going to take over Christmas The queer overtones of Netflix's Christmas espionage caper, starring Ben Whishaw and Keira Knightley, elevate it beyond familiar crime-thriller fare

One of my favourite shows of the year is spy thriller BLACK DOVES, in which Ben Whishaw plays a gay assassin and Keira Knightley is his glam partner-in-espionage. And it’s Christmas. What a present: www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/blac...

Trans people warned us it wouldn’t stop with transphobia which is why the likes of the LGB Alli*nce can absolutely go fuck themselves

My number one artist on Spotify Wrapped is The Smiths

Can’t stop thinking about the way leery pisshead Daniel Craig laughs like Scooby Doo when he’s first trying to court Drew Starkey

Fine it’s weird etc but QUEER is a huge W for the Michel Franco’s SUNDOWN heads in the room and there are dozens of us, I promise (kind of loved it)

i will not be censored

i saw a guy who self-identifies as a screenwriter lamenting it on x earlier, like: “oh, this shit goes to the top of netflix and i can’t even get an agent to read my scripts.” perhaps you should’ve written “hot frosty”

not to log on as the “hot frosty” defender but why are people writing it off as hammily written schlock. this is the entire point of “hot frosty.” every rote little gag is delivered with a knowing smirk. i mean, it’s a film about a hunky snowman. you don’t get more parodic. it’s called “hot frosty.”
