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: โ€œI'm older and I care lessโ€ 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

One of my favourite scenes comes at QUEERโ€™s mid-point and sees a particularly hammered Lee pursue Drew Starkeyโ€™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 โ€œA-listers do TVโ€ 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

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 itโ€™s Christmas. What a present: www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/blac...

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

i saw a guy who self-identifies as a screenwriter lamenting it on x earlier, like: โ€œoh, this shit goes to the top of netflix and i canโ€™t even get an agent to read my scripts.โ€ perhaps you shouldโ€™ve written โ€œhot frostyโ€

not to log on as the โ€œhot frostyโ€ defender but why are people writing it off as hammily written schlock. this is the entire point of โ€œhot frosty.โ€ every rote little gag is delivered with a knowing smirk. i mean, itโ€™s a film about a hunky snowman. you donโ€™t get more parodic. itโ€™s called โ€œhot frosty.โ€
