Every new 70mm IMAX screening of Ryan Coogler’s ‘SINNERS’ has sold out on AMC’s website.

The website also crashed due to the high demand.

My pleasure to attend the #Sinners #premiere in (in full IMAX 15/70), and watch the film with Ryan Coogler + Ludwig Göransson (and his parents!) in the audience.

It’s pure #cinema, and very nearly a perfect rating from me.

More once it’s released!

It’s a must see 🔥

My mistake, my thumb was on the left analogue stick steering the car - knew it was used for something 😂

Burnout: Paradise.

Most flow state I’ve ever been in a game.

In 2012 when I was at uni, I used to play that game one handed while smoking or drinking a beer - palm facing upwards (hand held kind of like Spider-Man’s, index finger on L2 for brake & little finger on R2 to accelerate, thumb: square 😂

On it, boss.

Totally agree. He was also handpicked by John Williams to do the Jurassic Park 3 score, and he smashed it.

Let’s bring him back, if he’ll have us!

Hell yeah. And the thrill of a perfect execution of a combo and then ripping out a strangers spine as you hear “FATALITY”... Probably as they shed a tear…

Warms my heart!

Midnight releases and the countdown and hype. God bless my dad for waiting in line with me to get me a PSP 🥹

Let’s do everything we can to bring back the golden age of creative media 🤘🏽🔥😁

I also miss when you could walk into games stores and play games on TVs connected to consoles. That MUST return

Oh dude… video stores, physical copies of films with the cool booklets and inserts, the thrill of walking around a physical media store, the AWESOME dvd menus (Harry Potter DVD lets you access a secret menu by tapping the correct bricks on the image of a wall, WHAT?!)

They said future = better 😭😂

Huge honour to get to see #Nosferatu, thanks to #Universal Pictures!

What an absolute gothic horror masterpiece. No spoilers about how it compares to Murnau’s classic, but I give it a strong recommendation.

We’ll break it down soon!

They’re all absolutely stunning, but that third one of Eric Clapton…. Good god!

Glorious!

It’s so hard to believe that books ever became uncool to people.

But every generation has the people who look down on reading - as if their own experience was always enough - that surely everyone else ought to think like them.

My fav thing to come from books are the differing opinions of others.

Trash panda! My toxic trait is wanting to keep one as a pet some day 🤣

Seconds (1966) is sublime. And what more can be said about The Manchurian Candidate, eh?

Please suggest more classics from that era if you have the time - I’m always interested in seeing what I might have missed!

We’re meeting with Darren regularly, and are very close to having all 12 episodes of S1 hammered out and into good shape. Will keep you posted! And please remind me to get a copy of your fav book signed by big man Darren himself 🫡

New here? Same.

What now?

How about we try to remember while scrolling through that these are all real people, living a life as complex as yours - perhaps more challenging, more painful.

They're celebrating victories, facing struggles, figuring things out - just as you are.

It’s actually so sad to see BlueSky peak so early. It can’t get any better than this, surely?

Hold your head up, Americans. We don’t think you’re all stupid.

Speaking as a guy raised in England, I have so much of your culture to be thankful for. For example, my initial instinct was to write “dude” there instead of “guy”.

❤️ your taste in art, your selfless heroic actions & so much more.

Agreed, and I also had some criticisms about how uninspired the AI machines/ beings looked.

AI would do better than that, no doubt! 😂

Thanks, Melisa! It was lovely, and really well put together.

Last week @ the Dune: Prophecy premiere with @dreamologymax.bsky.social!

A lot to live up to, but I’m thrilled to see where the rest of the season goes - the acting is excellent, and the visuals hold up far better than they seemed to in the trailer!

Episode one out now on MAX.

This time last week, Christopher McQuarrie came through the BFI, introduced one of his favourite films and watched it with us (The Train, by John Frankenheimer), hung out afterwards, dropped some spoilers about Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning, leaked the trailer, and left. Badass. MI:8 DAY1🫡
