I'm on Episode 3 of @netflixuk.bsky.social #Adolescence and I can't help feeling relief for the producers that it's mainly 'in the room' because the other episodes were giving me stress pains on their behalf.

Very much enjoyed @scottderrickson’s The Gorge on @AppleTV. I often get bored easily in action movies, but this had enough layers of mystery, engaging characters and a smart plot to keep my attention hooked. Like Carpenter he blends ideas from multiple genres well.

The PCC is my favourite cinema. My BEST memories of watching films on the big screen are here. I got to watch my #1 movie, Goodfellas, with hundreds of others, for my birthday a few years ago. I threw spoons at the screen watching The Room there.

Good riddance to a terrible, terrible year for film and TV workers. I hope 2025 will be better for everyone… will be doing all that I can to bring projects to the UK. It really is make or break for the business here.

β€˜Gimp play is a craft’: how a Canadian writer went from fetish sex work to creating powerful BBC drama Jordan Tannahill has turned his novel, The Listeners, into a tense, timely BBC drama inspired by cults and conspiracy theories. He talks Brexit, banging raves and exploring kinks with closeted junior ...

Since we’re doing this, please have at my interview with Jordan Tannahill, who wrote brilliant new BBC drama The Listeners, and who also used to engage in gimp play with Tory MPs www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

I love a good ripping yarn at sea. The Bounty, Master & Commander, The Terror, The North Water... also loved the Cortez/ Montezuma rest is history episodes... that could be the most epic movie or series.

Full cast screening of #RobertEggers #Nosferatu Lots of immersive and expressionistic visuals but also quite conventional storytelling

Quite a few times recently writers have sent me a really great idea or a script with a lot of potential, but they've already attached a director... and if the director ain't super talented I've had to pass, because I know I won't be able to finance it with that attachment.
