can we get rid of 'slams' too please.

If you can't cook you're a failure as a human being (and you shouldn't be allowed to have children).

For us that was this last weekend. The prior weekend nothing, then Roofman, If I Had Legs, House of Dynamite, Spider Woman, After The Hunt. A lot of overlap in those audiences.

email incoming!

the first trailer for Aziz's movie didn't appeal, but the new one looks very fun. I guess he's participation here makes the decision easier.

If they don't release both midweek and call it Wesday then what are we even doing.

I need a theatre one.

What the Tonys does well is that it's a celebration of theatre, and you can feel it. The Oscars every year apologizes for itself 'ugh movies are long, animation is for children'. I don't understand why the Oscars can't be pro-movies. Find a host who likes movies and is relevant to them.

100% this. Especially when you see the original post and then numerous reposts right next to each other.

Remove anyone you follow from ‘Discover’ or ‘Popular with Friends’. I don’t need to see there posts I’ve already seen.

for what it's worth, she's also a very good sport on the George Lucas Talk Show (especially when she Zoomed in from backstage at the Oscars) and also a couple of episodes of Blank Check. Love her.

I have been thinking about (and laughing at) a moment in this film since May. So good.

(although nearly the entire theatre in Cannes cleared out because they didn't realize it wasn't a Nirvana biopic)

Just when you think it’s reached peak sad IT GETS SADDER

I love Jessie Buckley. I love Cabaret. I did not love Jessie Buckley in Cabaret. Your imagined version might be the better option.

Kind of.

If you ship it to my parents I can bring it back from the UK next time I visit (which isn't until Feb, I warn you).

David Bowie at the Hammersmith Apollo/ODEON at his '30 years since he killed off Ziggy' show.

This could well be the best series of words I've read in a long time. Can't wait.

"When a single person can drop an open can of paint on the ground, what's the point in a painter?"

same thing happened in my screening last week, and it warmed my heart.

Not yet. But I can highly recommend Ludwig.

To counteract this I've started smiling and saying hello to nearly everyone I encounter anywhere. To the point that I think now I've become the problem.

Is this what you dreamt of writing when you wanted to become a journalist? What is the point of this?

AND it's screening at the Egyptian on Aug 1st, for LA-dwellers.

a minor point, but if you book tickets through the AMC A list, that means you have used up 1 of your 4 weekly slots for an entire year.

Exactly this.
