@davidallengreen.bsky.social Apologies if anyone’s already said this - I didn’t see it in replies - but Thompson was nominated for Remains Of The Day the same year MAAN was eligible. So if she’d campaigned for both she could have cancelled herself out!

‘So what’s happening in American politics right now?’ ‘Well, Big Balls is trying to destroy everything, but Drizz turned out to be kind of a badass’

Wired is doing excellent reporting around the current US fuckery – way better than 90% of newspapers – and an annual subscription costs less than £5. www.wired.com/v2/offers/wi...

Can we express this guy or....?

Broadly speaking, that's a really good list of Oscar nominations. Some I'd have liked to have seen (Daniel Craig in Queer/Nicole Kidman in Babygirl), but didn't notice any glaringly terrible choices. Would love to see Demi Moore and Zoe Saldana win.

Traitors is RUINED

I'm just really not into this whole 'Everything being ruined by big dweebs' thing, you know?

There are some filmmakers who seem like they’d always been there and somehow always would be. How bloody sad.

Writing this 28 Years Later feature in the week before Christmas left me feeling like that guy on the cover, but it was a great one to work on. Lots of surprising things from these interviews.

Putting low expectations on myself in January. Congratulating myself for finishing the last of the Christmas cheese.

Ended 2024 with Babygirl. Started 2025 with Nosferatu. Only ‘horny weirdos’ movies for me this festive season.

Enjoyed Conclave yesterday, a film that ponders ‘what if The Big Brother house but it’s clergy?’

My interesting opinion is that 23rd is the best day of December. It feels festive without being hectic. You can start getting ready at your own pace. There’s still an extra day in case you forget something. It’s acceptable to have a cooking wine.

I HAVE NOW FINISHED WORK UNTIL JANUARY

Not a whole lot of work required from me on this one. Pretty much just pressed record and got out of the way. They're very fun

I am not accepting any more emails until 2025. Thank you for your understanding.

This is the correct number one

Life once more has meaning

I don't know why so many people got up this morning with the sole intention of annoying me

Post an Onion headline that lives in your head rent-free:

I started listening to the Wicked audiobook, to see how it compares to the musical, and I was...not expecting a scene in a sex club involving a three-way with a tiger?

Well done Kim Leadbeater. She set a tone for the conversation around the Assisted Dying bill that was respectful and measured, which can't have been easy. So pleased its gone through.
