Game title card for Blue Prince.

Haven't been impressed by anything as much as I have been by Blue Prince in a long time. Beautiful and intricate design with game mechanics that are tricky to navigate but never punishing. Already put about 40 hours in and it continues to surprise me. #BluePrince

Might see if I can get the $500m I need for my magic bean business if this is where we're at now.

Watching cold films in an attempt to stay cool. Last night: the supremely chilly and excellent EVIL DOES NOT EXIST.

Enjoyed the heck out of SINNERS at the BFI IMAX at the weekend. Familiar genre thrills but born out of a refreshing perspective. Heartening to see it doing so well.

Save The Prince Charles Cinema The iconic Prince Charles Cinema in London’s West End future is under serious threat! We are beyond disappointed that our landlords Zedwell LSQ Ltd and their ultimate parent company Criterion Capital...

A cultural institution that London cannot and should not have to do without. Over 72,000 signatures so far.

Yes, I came to a similar conclusion after seeing Priscilla last month. I always like her filmmaking, even in the few films of hers that I don't wholly love.

As a Bond aficionado and a keen Kung Fu Hustler, this was a no brainer of a purchase.

Really taken by Lila AvilΓ©s' TΓ“TEM, which acutely captures the business of a family planning a party and the young girl in the middle of it all trying to make sense of a tragic inevitability that burdens them all. Out in UK cinemas late Nov/early Dec. #LFF

A privilege to hear the great Martin Scorsese speak for 100 minutes or so this afternoon (more than the advertised 75). His passion for his art and all that cinema has to offer is enthralling. #LFF
