What if we built a new major news and opinion journalism outlet from scratch and used it as a news lab to reform and rethink how we do things, starting first with billionaire-proofing it. And what if we honestly audited our flaws and came together to make the news orgs we want to see?

Listened to the latest episode of SCREENSHOT from Radio 4. @ellenejones.bsky.social & @kermodemovie.bsky.social talk about video shops. Absolutely brilliant! My video shop was at the Scott Arms in Birmingham, from where I rented basically everything they had. Ah, great memories...

Listened to SCREENSHOT from Radio 4. @kermodemovie.bsky.social & @ellenejones.bsky.social discuss time travel in films, with great clips & interviews. Very, very entertaining! (Have to disagree though - time travel is definitely possible.) Well worth catching on BBC Sounds. #TimeTravel

This is really good 🙏🏾 Including Sean Baker describing how Mike Leigh is one of his foundational influences (and separating his work from Ken Loach's). And Marianne Jean-Baptiste not making the final Oscar nominees' is just as big a wrong as no All We Imagine as Light! @ellenejones.bsky.social

A lot of silent era white supremacist garbage is able to fly under the radar of modern viewers because they have a very simplistic view of the KKK, seeing only the pointy hats and burning crosses. In fact, the movement as much more insidious and had numerous ways of sneaking its message across.

Working my way through the last lot of #Screenshot podcasts It's so darn good. Loved the interview with Alice Rohrwacher. @kermodemovie.bsky.social and @ellenejones.bsky.social are great together. Lots of thought provoking in-depth analysis and intelligent interviewing. Love it!

LONE STAR, John Sayles’ neo-Western, has to be one of the best films I’ve ever seen about national mythmaking, the weight of the past on the present, and tribal divisions in border life. Elegantly structured and so well-acted — Cooper, Peña, Morton, McConaughey, Kristofferson, cast of diamonds.

What a brilliant line from the minister at Janey Godley’s funeral “Janey Godley died having forgiven everyone, but she still believed to her dying day that Trump is a country mile away from being anyone who should ever have come near to power.” A perfect goodbye to a great lady RIP Janey x
