Sorry. Just had a weird, momentary existential crisis when I realised we let Donald Trump run the free world. The Apprentice guy. That Donald Trump. Yeah. Carry on.

The rumours are true. Pam is stunning in The Last Showgirl. Shelly is a tragic character in existential pain. Hers is an unravelling ball of grief, remorse and weakened justifications - until that one-two punch - the Schwartzman scene and the final curtain. Ooft. #TheLastShowgirl #FilmSky 📽️

CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD (2025) Sam Wilson is plagued by feelings of inadequacy, that no matter how hard he tries he can never stack up to Steve Rogers. And the poor bastard’s totally right. Aldous Huxley turns in his grave. #FilmSky 📽️ 🎥 #Marvel #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld

While Apple Cider Vinegar turns a true story into Netflix confection, the series finds that sweet-spot between soap melodrama and bracing truth. Belle Gibsons don't blossom in a vacuum - we embolden, platform and enable their duplicitousness. Just look at the WWYW? saga. #AppleCiderVinegar #TVSky

So I'm pretty new to this bright blue sky. Who wants to connect here or on #Letterboxd? My top four are Dellamorte Dellamore (1994), Ghostbusters (1994), La Piscine (1969) and Chinatown (1974). Eclectic tastes. #FilmSky 📽️

Donald Trump gazed out the window of the Oval Office, watching one of the Mexican gardeners clear a pristine cobbled path with a leaf blower. And in that moment he had his Gazan relocation plan. #DonaldTrump #USpolitics #Gaza

Sometimes you pen the story you want to read. I'd seen many exorcism stories in which a priest saves an innocent from the embrace of a demonic entity - but I'd never seen or read a story in which an entity saves an innocent soul from a priest. So I wrote a novella called Guardian. bit.ly/3WGJoQY

Could we normalise talking about The Straight Story as one of Lynch’s masterpieces? Lynch at his most soulful, tender and sentimental. The screenplay is a work of literary grace but only Lynch could have pulled this off - one false move and this is cringey schmaltz. And it never is. #DavidLynch

Hey there, Mr. Blue! I guess it's time for my first post. And it's sad, but appropriate. Here's some of my obit for David Lynch, one of my all-time heroes, on ABC 1233 radio last week. #DavidLynch #RIPDavidLynch
