ian huntley is dead. i'll always remember how the british press attempted to incite hatred against the trans community by reporting he was transitioning, then apologised to him for incorrect reporting instead of apologising to trans people

Uhoh I have a sore throat and a cough 😬

A ★★★ review of The Return (2024) I quite liked this stripped back take on the latter half of The Odyssey, not least because I’ve long thought Ralph Fiennes should play Odysseus and although I’m super excited for Christopher Nolan’s a...

Well worth a watch ahead of Nolan’s THE ODYSSEY. Stripped back and lacking the mythological aspect, and a bit Sunday night on ITV1, but I’ve long wanted Fiennes to play Odysseus so I’m glad this exists.

Summer of Soul!

10 days off over, back to work tomorrow uugh

My favourite horror of the decade so far:

2020: I’m Thinking of Ending Things
2021: Werewolves Within*
2022: Nope
2023: Infinity Pool
2024: The Substance
2025: 28 Years Later / Sinners
2026 (so far): 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple

*comedy really but it’s that or A Quiet Place 2

I need THE BIRDS II on 4K Blu-Ray

Genuinely good idea 🤣
I could see Arrow doing it

A ★½ review of Wuthering Heights (2026) Utterly preposterous and initially enjoyable enough with my brain switched off, but its biggest crime is just how damn dull this is! So incredibly boring I was itching to leave and as Heathcliff asked...

Exceedingly dull

I want to be rich enough to open an independent arts cinema in my town that doesn’t matter if it makes money or not. I’m absolutely gutted to have missed out on things like Sentimental Value in cinemas because my local decided a million showings of Anaconda would be better

So excited to have this on my shelf and to experience such an underrated Doctor Who story in glorious 4K! 💫

Finally watching…

QUEER is a career best turn for Daniel Craig

Knives Out. Masterpiece. That’s all.

Sorry for your loss ❤️

Cardamom buns from Juno the Bakery in Copenhagen. Absolutely delicious! Thanks for the recommendation @simonmayo.bsky.social @kermodeandmayo.bsky.social

The Running Man is pretty shonky in general and a frankly terrible adaptation of the book but I kind of admire its ridiculousness, though I’m certain that was far from intentional. My pick would be Infinity Pool. First film I’ve ever seen to make nipples scary!

not particularly wowed by Spike Lee’s HIGHEST 2 LOWEST

Mark will likely pick Kensuke’s Kingdom, but for me it’s The Remains of the Day, always. A film I put off for many years because it would be long and stuffy but really it’s an absolutely gorgeous and quietly devastating tale of unspoken love. It became an instant favourite when I finally saw it!

👌

Episode 4 of Years and Years still hurts
