Sorry I just remembered that a celeb going to space in a billionaires shuttle was an actual plot in the last season of The Morning Show

sigh

And (sorry to her acolytes ) Greta Gerwig’s stewardship of the jury has been overall one of the worst in recent memory.

8 of the last 13 jury presidents have been Hollywood directors/actors. There’s a reason this festival is now skewering toward English language film.

Hate to break it to people who think it’s a good thing but - Cannes now being a fairly good barometer of who’s winning an Oscar isn’t actually saying anything significant about a culture shift at the Oscar’s and is instead saying everything about an (imo) worrying cultural shift at Cannes.

The intimacy coordinator stuff was so odd.

Sean Baker also a Zionist so I’m a bit bitter about all the wins on a nothing to do with the movie level too. Great that I can hate this win from many angles.

Twitter fuming really unpopular win over there.

No not at all it left me a bit empty I don’t really get what everyone has seen in it.

Yeah it was not a fave of mine at all.

Like one of my main criticisms of the film would have been its editing. This is Bohemian Rhapsody all over again.

The winner of Best Editing never fucking makes sense to me any year.

It’s honestly so cloying in general but also who wants to do this with millions of people watching? I’m sure Goldie would have appreciated it much more in private.

An award for the moment when the Oscars camera captured Ariana Grande’s breath literally catching as she proudly watched Cynthia Erivo sing. Absolutely stunning work.

Every clip I see for Emilia Perez feels more offensive than the last.

Finding out that Andrew Garfield is half American makes everything about him make sense.

Three girls in my office went all under 30.

Someone messaged me to ask if I sent that in 😂

Found out that they do this about 7/8 years ago and find it the most obscene, disgusting violation. Cannot believe it’s let happen.

"If you miss #TheTraitors, don't worry, The Apprentice is back next week" yeah alright, if you miss Christmas don't worry, it's Ash Wednesday next week. Fuck are you on about.

You have to give to Aniston. This casting is actually so spot on i already know who would play who before it even being confirmed.

Bridgerton up for SAG awards I’m gonna need every actor in Hollywood to stop watching fucking Netflix.

New RHOSLC this week coz Bravo knew I was going back to work.

Harold Shipman, sister betrayal, traitor betrayal, the iconic picture below. What a show.

#TheTraitors

My favourite annoying thing to do is to tell people who don’t say Barry Keoghan with a hard G that it’s actually not how he pronounces it and they’re the ones who are wrong. Always goes down well.

Lauren Branning causing chaos on Christmas Day. I know that’s right.

Genuinely can’t converse with those blind to The Family Stone’s brilliance.

Wow I thought I was over that but just got so angry reading this that I am definitely not.

Conclave (2024)

The mystery is not why we Irish have responded to Israel’s barbarism. It’s why others have not I don’t believe in the idea of being on the right side of history. The histories of the future are none of our concern. Our concern is the present

This is a very good piece and well worth reading (and it’s not behind the paywall)
