This looks like bullshit stenography to me. Glen Owen also ‘reported’ Farage’s lies about French police & a monoglot mechanic ‘telling him’ his car had been ‘tampered with’ in an ‘assassination attempt’ when he was trying to distract attention from something else. Also, Putin *wants* him to be PM!

I was interviewed for the Telegraph alongside director Paula Wittig. The piece contextualises our process and decision making. The responsibility we have in true life dramas to be accurate, precise and diligent is huge and it’s one we took incredibly seriously.

He’s not making a documentary you absolute tit!

Why exactly would a Thailand-based economic migrant secretly give Nigel Farage £5 million as a 'reward' for delivering Brexit? I won't get to ask either of them this question but every single journalist & broadcaster granted access could...

A slow week of rewatches - an absolute masterpiece celebrating the late, great Marianne Faithfull; the most bonkers, glorious folly of Wachowski & Tykwer wonder; still eternally hilarious if sadly dated gag fest; and final proof that Kevin Smith is not for me. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

RIP Alan Rothwell - David Barlow in Corrie, drug addict Nicholas Black in Brookside, but best known to a generation from Hickory House and Picture Box. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uTG...

Entirely predictable side effects of the dearth of paid work and freelancers being forced to leave the arts are skills shortages, higher costs and lost business. It’s in everyone’s interest to find a sustainable way forward or TV, film and theatre in the UK will fade away

The kids are alright

Can we have a serious conversation about the constant regurgitation of films into plays and musicals? I get it comes from risk aversion, economic pragmatism and dwindling audiences for new work but there must come a point when we say enough’s enough? I mean, ffs…

There are THOUSANDS of fresh talented writers and directors out there, all with plenty of new, imaginative, novel stories to tell. Yet the 'industry' and studios just keeps remaking and reimaginaning and rebooting the same franchises over and over again.

These numbers should be amplified everywhere there is a flat surface. The 3,000 person sample size was statistically significant. The direction of travel is positive but runs directly contrary to the perception born in the echo-chamber of Twitter-brained media and politics. (H&CC is a client)

Saw Project Hail Mary last night. A thing of sound and fury signifying not much… my biggest takeaway was wishing that just once - just ONCE - the reality of our actual response to the actual existential threat of climate collapse would match the movie’s fictional response to the fictional sun dying…

Mike Mills’ sublime paean to second chances; Baumbach’s delightful family farce; Forsyth & Pollard’s masterpiece of a eulogy to the great Marianne Faithfull; and a damn entertaining fresh spin on heists in LA. Altogether, a great week. #LastFourWatched #Letterboxd

Priceless post from the official White House social media

Borrowed from @samthielman.com who has sharing restricted - a quote from John Swartzwelder of The Simpsons. This is also VERY good advice for writing music - get something down. Something complete and functional, then refine it.

I earn a little from my books but not my podcast or sharing my work online. People say my posts make them feel calm, which matters to me. Surviving as a creative is increasingly hard. Writers and artists are giving up every day. Only if you can, support me here: www.patreon.com/cw/MirandaKeeling 🙏❤️✍️

Getting good at finishing stuff is crucial.

Absolutely incredible. NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone. Watch with sound on.

In a week where it is revealed how many visits a website educating men on how to abuse women - let me recommend men read some of these books - the more we know the more that silence becomes an impossibility

This is as beautiful a thing as you'll see in all your life. Hope, after months of darkness.

I’m going to write about this more extensively next week but in the meantime, here’s a brief thought from last night’s show about the link between the governments of super powers throughout the world and domestic abuse….

Hey, fellow freelancers, do you ever get to feeling like Jack Lemmon in Glengarry Glen Ross begging for the good leads?

As some of us have been saying for quite a while, dangerous climate breakdown is already here, and killing people - now, today www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I just had a difficult and painful issue to deal with in the film industry and the others involved were wonderful: Totally understanding, kind and articulate. There are so many good people out there.

Presenting the reopening the Strait of Hormuz as a victory is like the Greeks failing to take Troy but celebrating the safe return of their wooden horse

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

10:40pm TODAY on @BBCOne The 2015 #Romantic #Drama film🎥 “BROOKLYN” directed by John Crowley from a screenplay by Nick Hornby Based on Colm Tóibín’s 2009 novel📖 🌟 Saoirse Ronan, Domhnall Gleeson, Emory Cohen, Jim Broadbent, Julie Walters, Jessica Paré

He’s got a point. Particularly for story of the week shows. But also true of anthology shows. The audience are on diminishing returns with something like Inside No. 9 for example. But also true for platforms, who have the chance to build word of mouth via linear TX. www.comedy.co.uk/tv/features/...

He has nukes. He is a damaged fool. Stop him. Remove him.

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal. Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big. And here we are.

open the fuckin’ strait ya crazy bastards

Artemis II crew returning to Earth.

"It’s entirely possible—as well as moral and popular—to refuse this project." Whatever industry you're in, if like me, you refuse to a) use AI and b) accept it as inevitable, then read this by @bcmerchant.bsky.social. You'll feel considerably less alone. www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/its-open-s...

"The Robert Redford classic is a reminder of the national integrity we’ve lost."

I look back at All the President’s Men, released on this day 50 years ago. During production, screenwriter William Goldman said, “Expectations are so high on this movie that if the film is only good, it won’t be good enough.” If only he was here to see how powerful it still is: More @ Esquire…

25th Amendment. Articles of Impeachment. Now. What the hell else do you gutless, partisan fools need to see happen? What elze does he need to say? What else?

I will never stop being sad that Phillip Seymour Hoffman is gone

An absolute stinker from Leo’s early years; a doc whose subject was more interesting than its execution; and 2 absolute masterpieces on rewatch to revive my faith in cinema. #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

Quick morning shout out to all the other freelancers who didn't even know it was the bank holiday, the whole concept having become utterly irrelevant to their lived experience.

being a creative person is not something that can be optimized & it makes certain people’s cooked brains lock up. sometimes you follow a tangent or find yourself at a dead end. But every single moment that you spend on the work, even when you’re flailing, it can lead to the place you’re meant to go.
