Yep sad truth …. Needs addressing . Never would be addressed under the Conservatives or Reform . They don’t want to hear voices other than their own really… art should be for ALL.

Nobody gets it .. it’s over, you missed the boat Democrats , the ship sailed, democracy in the US is over for generations! You missed the opportunity .. it’s never going to be the US we and you knew again … Didn’t you see it coming ?

The world gets more surreal .. A client sent me poems instead of paying me this week .. . I guess I am supposed to swallow the words . The poems are lovely though .

Pamela Anderson really deserved a Best actress nom for her role in ‘The Last Showgirl’ . She was excellent . What a great part for her ! Glad she’s at the BAFTA’s though ! Go see it!

Thing is for me about Serverance . Is it just me or everyone who has ever worked i. an office for a big corp feeling the same way about it ? I def had an inni and an outi. The outi won and I paid the price but at least life is real .

How many have to die? How many more films do we have to watch like ‘No Other Land ‘ before the madness stops and fat old men no longer think it better to build a beach resort than see sense and justice . The majority of humanity is bankrupt of morality. I wish there was hope

Must say I like Serverance. It somehow feels very apt in the madness we now live in ….wondering how it will play out …

I guess the old guys I used to giggle at walking along Oxford Street with signs stating ‘The End is Nigh’ got the wrong continent and era … Seems to me in the US the great unravelling is now ..

Nosferatu was tonight’s watch. Who shone for me? The brilliant Simon McBurney, Lilly-Rose Depp also strong and generally a good cast. However I expected more from Eggers after The Lighthouse, though some moments of greatness. The cinematography is particularly good. Act 2-3 dragged a little….

I wish we could do something to help the US and what it faces with the madness unfolding . I feel for US friends . All I can offer is good chat and a sofa bed if they want to leave …. And my own resistance to the political mind virus that the US has caught coming here .

‘Love Lies Bleeding’ is very much worth the watch . I was surprised by Rose Glass’s approach to narritive after St Maud . But I don’t know her earlier work well. Female gay love story at its core - facing repeating abusers, in an 80’s body building southern US town. Wild Hulk moments #film #filmsky

In these times I imagine diplomats, security services and strategists looking dispassionately at the actions of the new Emperor in the US. Working out his thinking and playbook. I hope they have teams dedicated to just this . Deciding how to tackle the descent into the black hole he generates.

At least Yanis makes me laugh on a day like this !😆 But the implications are serious. Outlandish disruption is clearly part of the playbook to stalemates and geopolitical issues. Is there is method to Trumps vain madness, other than filling his pockets? We live in modern Brothers Grimm tale.

I really begin to believe the US missed its chance to keep its hard earned democracy . I can’t see how it can go back without a civil war .Everything is going to be rigged , everything is going to be about enriching an creating more control for those now in power .

Never thought I’d see a US President so insane , more self interested and corrupt . The guys wants to turn Gaza in to hotel resort ? He’s off the scale ..

Add to the list of MAGA copying from Putin’s to-do list the garbage circulating today from RFK Jr telling refuted Kremlin myths about the Maidan revolution &USAID in Ukraine. People don't spontaneously arrive at conspiracy theories. There's no factual basis for them and we know where they started.

Gladiator II I felt I had seen it all before..in the first 30 mins . If you love a bit of well made action and gore fine. But I knew where I was from the moment I saw the ships at the wall and the twin pale Emperors. I’d much prefer any of the noms this year . Mescal still a gem as is Washington .

Black Box .. what a stunning documentary ! One woman against an abusive journalist and his PM friend Abe (Japan) . Wow and she won ! Beautifully shot and painfully honest . Testament to never giving up for justice and the truth when all seems impossible . Watch where you can #filmsky #film

Who would have thought the US would become a rogue state terrorising its old allies 20 years ago ?
