Last Four Watched: Project Hail Mary, Mamma Mia!, The Ice Storm, Zootopia 2
A week of some fun and bubbly with a dose of bleak.
Seeing Project Hail Mary on the big screen was a beautiful reminder of what it means to go to the cinema and watch a story unfold as a community.

Look, I'll be honest. I, too, can be a hypocrite. I like to complain about reboots and remixes and remakes of properties when what we deserve is original content...
...but then I am so giddily excited for this 🤩

The way this news is a jolt of serotonin to my soul 🥹
This plethora of news/trailers for reboots & remakes even as something original like Project Hail Mary is taking off (pun very much intended) is a real whiplash of where the studio system is versus where it could be if it dared to try a little more.

Unobstructed View shouted 50% off Criterions at me.
Five minutes later, my purchase was done.
I am weak.
Disney trying to recapitalize on perfect animated films with regurgitated remakes is really starting to get on my nerves*

This script deserves credit for channeling an intrinsically funny concept in a way that similarly carries itself with wit, color, and infectious energy. There is something undeniably charming and appealing about both the characters and the broader written voice and spirit of the story, in a way that meets the moment at a time when a lighthearted comedy like this feels like a breath of fresh air.
Perhaps the most glowing praise sis & I have ever received for a script. Flying high on this one!
#screenwriting
I know I'm really excited about a script sis & I are working on when I can imagine the fan vids & fanfics that will be created once it's out in the world
I just want an audience to fall in love with it the way I've fallen in love with stories so all I want to do is live & breathe them

Wunmi Mosaku is so exceptional in Sinners, I couldn't be happier for her winning Best Supporting Actress at the BAFTAs! Pay attention, Oscars!
Last Four Watched: Wuthering Heights (1939), Send Help, Suddenly Last Summer, Excess Baggage
I appreciate movies with their own unique personalities. Even when they're imperfect.
Also, those classic films are unmatched in their ability to linger on actors' faces and capture a range of emotion there.

I also watched Send Help & Wuthering Heights with Laurence & Merle. Must be something in the water 😄
One of my favourite movies ever. So damn good!
Delusions of grandeur are what keep my creative spirit alive. Imagining 'the moment', the 'what could be'.
I fully appreciate that down the line they may shatter on the ground of reality, but if it does break, at least I'll know it's because I built it.
Watched A New Leaf for the first time last night and Walter Mathau whispering 'good-bye' to his wealthy lifestyle is all I can hear in my head now.

And that's how you do a Halftime Show!
I love this insight. The concept is one I always try to remind myself of when I'm writing.
Last Four Watched: The Lady Vanishes, Prisoners, Wings of Desire & The Mastermind
A fantastic week of movies!
Still vibrating off of Wings of Desire, which is one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen.
The Lady Vanishes is one of my favourite Hitchcock films. The elements of a screwball comedy perfectly blend into the thriller.

Movie you've watched more than six time with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (either War or Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.
I come on to see that The Archers are trending and am now bitterly disappointed that it has nothing to do with Powell & Pressburger
#filmsky
This movie! Gah! Gets me every time I watch it with its stunning colours and glorious melodrama.
