Feel like pure shit just want him back x
Extremely grateful for everyone who has already signed our letter, which is nearly at 1600 signatures now!
The Residence on Netflix. It’s a 6 but Edwina Findley is a 10.
Get her the Emmy now!
The first five minutes of Season 3 of The White Lotus are a brilliant example of how to turn a format on its head. In the first two, the morbid pleasure of guessing which character might die was key to the show’s success - this time round, we’re afraid for who it might be.
Solidarity to you! Such a disastrous response from a festival director who has built a career on being a supposed champion of minorities.
Does anyone know if BABY by Marcelo Caetano has got UK distribution? It was one of my favourite films of LFF and I’d love to see it again.
The Crow Girl is coming to Paramount+ UK & Ireland on January 16th! I had so much fun script editing this show last year, I can’t wait for people to see it. 🐦⬛🩸 #thecrowgirl youtu.be/LZ7Y5md67cM
And when the gods of commissioning smile upon you, may some of the mana trickle down to us lowly script editors!
My number one Nosferatu opinion is that Aaron Taylor Johnson is a character actor stuck in the body of a himbo, and he was perfect in this role.
Check out Picturehouse Central playing NOSFERATU not only in 35mm but also in 4D, because the screen was so cold that I felt like I, too, was trapped in an icy castle high in the Carpathian Mountains.
They’re giving Luigi the Gracie Lou treatment 👀
Sad to hear of the passing of Marisa Paredes, whose performances left such a huge mark on me when I was falling in love with cinema.
And Ralph Fiennes, who plays Conclave, he gave everything
I’m a big Nicole Kidman fan, but everyone who said this is her best work to date needs to watch Dogville, Birth, The Others, Eyes Wide Shut, To Die For. It’s not even her best performance of ‘woman has emotional realisation about her love for her husband in a New York theatre’.
Frociaggine confirmed!
Heading to a second viewing of CONCLAVE, aka the queer reading.
A surprise to no one 🚬
Hooked on SAY NOTHING. Brilliant writing, and powerful, nuanced performance from a perfectly-cast ensemble. This is proper, complex, knotty, political, intelligent storytelling. A real contender for show of the year!
Highly recommend his web series, The Gay and Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo: youtu.be/YYXQzlKXzpk?...
Irony of ironies is that I moved into TV because film was unsustainable 🙃
This is what it must feel like to not be holding space for the lyrics of Defying Gravity.
One of my favourite things when I get a deck is seeing a still from a film or even a particular scene that I love, and saying ‘yes, that’s a perfect reference, that’s exactly what this film/show should be, too’. An AI image doesn’t do that - it’s just a visualisation of what’s in the writing.
I think it’s also worth saying, as someone who reads so many pitch decks, I find AI generated images a massive turn off. The purpose of stills in a deck is to communicate a visual and cinematographic world in which the projects sits. AI slop doesn’t achieve this, because it doesn’t look like film.
I have a lot of time for BIFA, but this is so disrespectful. Excluding craft wins from the awards ceremony and relegating them to an instagram video is already bleak, but using their wins to do promo for the host’s new movie is abjectly fucking miserable.
I’m sorry, if I see one more ‘Kamala is Elphaba’ analogy, I’m simply going to lock myself into whatever hotel room they were doing those press junkets in and succumb to the gas leak that was evidently occurring.
My dream project at the moment would be to adapt the Broken Sword games for TV. S1 would be spread across Paris, Ireland, Scotland, Spain and Syria. Totally achievable 🙃
