absolutely no one is mature enough for today’s nuclear discourse

It’s the BAFTA’s. The BRITISH Academy Film Awards. I can assure you that almost everyone involved is asleep right now.

Intersectionality stays kicking y’alls asses.

I see people are talking about Lady Snowblood and that makes me happy.

The streets are calling me a lover boy.

Finally modern audiences will get to experience what Star Wars was like before they got an Englishman to dub over Alec Guinness’s New Jersey accent

I’m watching a TV show — several episodes in — and three times in the last two episodes, the characters have halted the drama to deliver a PSA about the HPV vaccination, practically straight to camera. A disclaimer came up on screen and everything!

All my homies hate the Cowardly Lion.

lol

What’s with all this talking and politics? Geralt should be fighting monsters!

I hate to tell you this but the Witcher books are not the games. The show actually has far MORE monsters than the book ever gives us.

I always find Witcher Netflix discourse so fascinating.

People will scream and wail that the books aren’t accurate to the source material — which, to be clear, they aren’t — but the things a lot of them are complaining about… are the parts that actually are accurate?!?!

If you see this, post a vampire that isn’t Dracula.

We are thrilled to announce our full 2026 Spring and Summer season including the world premiere of three new musicals and two plays. This marks Artistic Director Natasha Rickman's first full season at the Mercury and what a line-up of shows to start with! Read the full story 👉 buff.ly/Rk0kSTQ

The timeline has stopped talking about The Hunt For Ben Solo so I’m gonna need you all to step your game up.

I live for what I hate: praise.

Cast members lay down, two on the floor and one behind on a table as they look up to the ceiling. Text reads 4 stars unapologetically campaigning theatre, demanding justice and accountability. The Guardian

2 cast members sit on seats whilst another stands over them. Text reads 5 stars heartbreakingly hard to watch but urgently necessary. Northern arts review.

Cast members stand shoulder to shoulder under floodlights. 4 stars The stage, dares you not to look away.

One cast member puts his arm around another, he looks nervous with his eyes closed. Text reads, Raynor and Yorke have deeply electric acting chemistry. The spy in the stalls.

All my homies hate the Pizza Express app.

I always thought it would be ‘Dune: Part 3 - Messiah’ and I wouldn’t be surprised it that’s how it shows onscreen.

Mentally, I’m still here.

— you get the sense that you yourself are a time traveller. The film itself is a fracture in reality - stuttering, glitching, and distorting.

Britain is in decay. Britain will decay. Britain has decayed. The dark ages loom large.

There’s a moment when Jodie Comer’s ‘Isla’ looks upon the ‘Angel of the North’ — a statue that will remain long after herself — and remarks that this makes them ‘time travellers’.

As the film intercuts between footage of Britain’s past, real and imagined, played over by Rudyard Kipling’s ‘Boots’ —

Poster for 28 Years Later.

28 Years Later looks great, sounds great, and the acting is extremely impressive. There is, however, a point where the script will take your hands and ask you to trust it.

Your answer to this question will colour your judgment of the entire film.

I’m gonna need a Danny Boyle Attack on Titan movie, ASAP.

here's the thing about using Gotham and then Odyssey clearly repeating Oppenheimer's campaign (the posters are more than strikingly similar).

this is to:
- *get away* from both films being "period"
- clearly establish these as *Christopher Nolan*. He's an IP in his own right.

Made the mistake of watching a clip from Sense8. Now I might just need to rewatch the whole thing.
