Had a meeting about something a couple of weeks ago and have been chewing on this for a bit: as a queer person, when I'm talking to producers or execs or commissioners about projects, I'm used to being the only queer person in the room. I'm used to have to explain our lives and cultures to people.

THIS.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Hell. Fucking. Yeah. I love the Avaterverse and desperately hope I can play in that sandbox one day. ‘Avatar’ Sequel Series ‘Seven Havens’ Ordered at Nickelodeon, Set After ‘Legend of Korra’ variety.com/2025/tv/news...

#TIL Jane Austen was born before the Bronte's and I'm amazed how much more accessible her work is in comparison. #DoGoOn

The other fucking reason I don't trust "AI" for anything

They had their own wall! A little Bafta wall!

#CaptainAmerica4 desperately wants to be prescient & intriguing but is pulled in so many different directions that it ends up formless. The effects look perhaps their worst for Marvel and the end credits is so much nothing. Highlight was Danny Ramirez. #BraveNewWorld

Excellent opportunity for under represented writers in the UK www.tallstorypictures.co.uk/post/script-... #Scriptchat #Screenwriting @tallstorypictures.bsky.social

This is another good point which has also come up when I breathlessly rant about this in meetings: the audience ‘expects this now.’ I come back always to video games though. People thought this re graphics. Yet indie/2D/Stylised has boomed. What’s TV’s answer to that? I think it’s ’British.’

When I describe something I like as 'an acquired taste' I mean people who don't like it should acquire some taste.

One of the funniest things about #EmiliaPerez is that it seems to have taken most of the critical and awards reception that #Joker2 was hoping to get.

#EmeliaPerez is like if that Ryan Gosling/#SNL Papyrus sketch was adapted into a movie.

#EmeliaPerez is like if To Kill A Mockingbird was raised to believe it was Moulin Rouge.

#EmeliaPerez is like if City of God had a baby with Chicago.

Watching #EmeliaPerez feels like you're constantly about to have it revealed that you live in the Truman Show.

#EmeliaPerez is like if you told the people who made High School Musical to remake Scarface.

#EmeliaPerez Is like if someone wished on a monkey's paw to have made an Oscar worthy movie.

Living in a reality where #EmeliaPerez exists is like living in a reality where chickens give birth to centaur.

#EmeliaPerez is like if one of the film trailers from Tropic Thunder became a real boy.

#EmeliaPerez is like if you told a bunch of theatre kids to make a #Crash like movie with Michael Bays cinematography, about the problems of today.

What was said to #ZoeSaldana to convince her to make #EmeliaPerez?

#EmeliaPerez is like if you raised the film Crash to believe it was #Wicked.

I don't think most people realise what a bad way British TV is in and a lot of that has to do with competing with the US and making our stories sellable abroad

An excellent short, I can attest.

#TheLittleMermaid walked, by recasting its main character with a black woman with a banging voice to cover its biggest number only to make an equally classic rendition in its own right, so that #Wicked could run.

As much as I love the quality and effort of what #Criterion put into their releases, it's just a tad too pretentious to call your special features 'supplements'. Seriously, just dial it down.

The only bad thing about the new #WallaceAndGromit was that we couldn't see it on the big screen. That last action sequence would've been amazing in the cinema. #VengeanceMostFowl
