I am not enjoying The Football this season 🙄 #LFC

I’m afraid I’m actually 18, Spotify says so, I don’t make the rules

Irish pop queen @cmatbaby.bsky.social with a storming 1 hr 45m set at Sheffield’s Octagon tonight

Poster for The Running Man, Edgar Wright’s new film. Simply a close up of star Glenn Powell’s face with The Running Man in white typeface at the bottom

The Running Man was the mystery screening at The Light tonight! It’s usually a low budget indie film so it was a big surprise. I really enjoyed it, just a very fun, stylish action thriller with a big dose of satire. Edgar Wright is very good at this filmmaking lark

A Captcha image of Emma Stone with the phrase “select any squares that may contain Aliens” nodding to her role in the film Bugonia (where she may or may not play an alien)

The Easter egg on Letterboxd when you review Bugonia is amazing

It was @selfesteem.music-social.com’s homecoming gig last night and it was a triumph. Not a fan of arena gigs but this was pretty special

the promotional image for Sally Wainwright's Riot Women, featuring five female actors holding various instruments on a red background. Riot Women is wiritten 'graffitti-style' in white.

Watched the first episode of Sally Wainwright's Riot Women last night and it's absolutely outstanding. Rosalie Craig (who I've seen in many stage productions over the years) absolutely burns the screen in every scene she's in (and what an introductory scene).

Excellent Off The Shelf event with Nigel Planer tonight, I got to ask a question and even met the man himself

"The Nine Inch Nails", "Got a light?", the nuclear explosion scene, that ending, everything about it is perfect and is Lynch's finest moment in a career that was full of them

This is a scene from episode 8 of Twin Peaks The Return, and frankly, a text description doesn't really do it justice.

Going to watch episode 7 and, more importantly, EPISODE 8 (aka the Best Episode of TV EVER) of Twin Peaks The Return at the cinema tonight and I'm very excited about it.

Excellent gig from Gene tonight at Network, Sheffield

An evening at Float Along Festival, including Westside Cowboy, Jane Weaver and Anthony Szmierek

Just watched ep3 of Twin Peaks The Return at the cinema and still find it absolutely delightful that Showtime gave David Lynch a load of money and told him to make the absolutely weirdest shit he could think of.

Really sorry to hear this Dan

Yes there are genuinely stuffed cats in Paddy’s vets

Took my mum and sister on the Emmerdale Village tour today and it was honestly a very lovely day out.

An excellent evening at the Empire Magazine podcast live show, with special guests Tim Key and Tom Badsen (watch The Ballad Of Wallis Island, my film of the year). Thanks @chrishewitt.bsky.social, @jamescdyer.bsky.social and @helenlohara.bsky.social!

Just arrived in London! See you later

Poster for Honey Don’t, a film by Ethan Coen. The poster shows actress Margaret Qualley in white shirt and brown trousers, turning around to face the camera, with a gun in her hand. Aubrey Plaza and Chris Evans (not that one) are also featured as is a blue car on a white background Don’t bother seeing the film, it is shite.

May have watched the worst film of 2025 this afternoon. What a stinker

Hope it went well Dave, and you and the family are coping ok. Lovely article in the YEP - the name of the bar is genius!

In fact the whole album is superb. That’s 3 definite ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ albums in a row for me now.

In Tenerife on holiday at the moment and I’ve had the @cmatbaby.bsky.social album on repeat and Lord Let That Tesla Crash is an absolutely incredible song

Yes, @laurenlaverne.bsky.social playing Prefab Sprouts Lions In My Own Garden! I don’t think I’ve ever heard this on the radio!

A poster for Ari Aster’s 2025 film, Eddington. It is a black and white shot of buffalo falling down a mountain, the word Eddington is in bright red capital letters

Went to see a preview of Eddington tonight and good god what a mess of a film. Easy contender for worst film of 2025 (and I normally like Ari Aster)

Protester arrested over ‘Plasticine Action’ T-shirt: ‘How ridiculous is this?’ Miles Pickering says crowd at protest over Palestine Action ban was laughing at ‘silliness’ of scene as he was detained

An absolutely brilliant way to highlight how ridiculous this policy is

So sorry to hear this mate, hope you’re doing ok. Love to you and your family

Wasn’t expecting Alien: Earth to be particularly good but it’s absolutely brilliant. Noah Hawley has done it again

Discovered the joys of an afternoon cinema trip during this sick leave, it feels gloriously indulgent. Going to see Together tomorrow lunchtime

Three questions answered correctly on Only Connect and Wordle in 2 today, at least 5 weeks of sick leave hasn’t affected my brain (as yet)

Poster for the 2025 film Weapons, featuring silhouettes of children running with arms outstretched and the word Weapons in capitals and in red across the top of the poster

Just out from Weapons, absolutely loved it. Scary, funny, compelling, may well end up being my film of the year
