Those β€˜text messages’ are SO WEIRD. They’re like a corporate video from the Office with awkward full sentences and convenient exposition.

UK taxpayers contributed Β£89m to the most expensive movie ever made Scheme to boost British film industry leads to Universal Pictures pocketing millions of pounds for blockbuster Jurassic World: Rebirth

Look. It's really important that we attract blockbusters to the UK to employ our skilled crews and related industries (drivers, catering etc). The UK industry won't grow without that.

It's also really important we funnel investment to home-grown projects written, directed and starred in by Brits.

With Hollywood studios mired in bureaucracy, red tape, and bloated tentpoles, @richardrushfield.bsky.social highlights four indie companies innovating on fundraising, marketing, distribution, and social media that just might revive film theankler.com/p/outsiders-...

So once again I will remind you all that the show ya’ll are all talking about (The Pitt) had all levels of writers in the room including lower and mid levels.

If we want more good TV, everyone at the top needs to fight for proper writers rooms… because the results speak for themselves!

This is a very short sighted decision and a real blow to Scottish drama. Sad day!

This is something I find kind of fascinating (like a car crash) about conservatives. I have never in my life heard of someone on the liberal/left end complaining of conservative friends ditching us or not dating us. Almost like we stand by what we believe?

It’s wild looking up β€œradical socialist” Bernie’s policies from Europe and being like… that’s just normal?

That’s brilliant! As someone who lived in a few non-English countries, one of the best things you could do now is start immersing yourself in radio/tv/podcasts β€” you won’t understand it all to start with, but it helps to train your brain. Bonne chance!!
