Your honour, they're the same picture... Two cutie patooties pointing at pictures of their co-stars behind the scenes #TheRingsOfPower #IWTV

Awww, how lovely! Little Bilbo 😍 Thanks for organizing the whole fundraising event, the Tolkien community is smashing it with the various campaigns 🙌🏼

The Vampire Lestat says Happy Bisexuality Day!

It was a nice Rings of Power reunion too, with Peter Mullan mentioning that they were already friends from "the Lord of the Rings thing, where Rob played a Tory Elf" 😂 Forgive the blurry photos, the cinema had crap low lighting, but forewarned is FOREARMed (hello Elrond! 😏)

I SWEAR is so good! Great mix of hilarious and emotional. Robert Aramayo gives an absolutely brilliant performance (his Scottish accent is spot on!), with Peter Mullan, Maxine Peale and Scott Ellis Watson (younger John) fab too. Great Q&A incl the real John Davidson after.

Kicked off Edinburgh Fringe with new Hannah Moscovitch play RED LIKE FRUIT at the Trav. Really great, interrogating sexual assault and sexual harm and personal perceptions thereof. Challenges the audience, makes them subtly complicit - you're asked what you feel/believe, and why.

It's heeeeere!! #TheRingsOfPower lives! I love when we get a wee peek at making off/BTS stuff. S3 production has felt quiet so far, all behind closed doors, so good to know they're cooking!

Sorry Lestat, but turns out some other long blonde haired rockers will be having an epic show in New Orleans! 🤘🏼🥁🕚 Now I want a Vampire Lestat / Spinal Tap double bill! The ultimate rock clowns youtu.be/hxkZ7krBzA8?... #iwtv #spinaltap

I know they'll add more, and I was too casual about checking, but still seems wild that the first 70mm BFI IMAX screenings for The Odyssey are already sold out. OVER A YEAR IN ADVANCE! 😆

So glad that Filmhouse has reopened in Edinburgh, it's been missed. Cinema Paradiso on the big screen as their opening film was fab. Remembered the last thing I saw there before they closed... eps 1 and 2 of S1 on The Rings of Power! Mad to think (also, pls do some S3 in cinemas Amazon!)

Was interested to see what Jonathan Anderson was going to do at Dior, wasn't expecting a (no doubt eye-wateringly expensive) Dracula tote! The vampire renaissance is going high end

Tickets secured for The People Speak @edbookfest.bsky.social - gonna be in the same room as Viggo Mortensen this August 😍 (Not to mention icon Vanessa Redgrave too!) But ngl, it's my decades long Aragorn love that's most thrilled today!

Interview With The Vampire cathedrals everywhere, for those with eyes to see... The morning sun was casting weird shapes and light through the tops of my curtains earlier, felt quite of a piece with yesterday's imagery! #iwtv

Congrats to Michelle Lim Davidson and Marg Downey for their Logie noms, and #TheNewsreader overall for Best Drama, but it's crazy to get no nominations for Leads (altho Anna Torv got a nom for Territory, which seems to be dominating) Sam Reid went to incredible places in that role!

This is a great interview with Rolin Jones - I love that he doesn't really hold back (this show is yappers all the way down!). There's never been any doubt, but the levels of care, consideration and quality that goes into IWTV... 🥹 www.indiewire.com/awards/consi...

Matthew Santos (producer, singer, performer) who's working with Daniel Hart and Sam Reid on #iwtv music/songs this season, posted this from Toronto (that's the word cut off at the start) - he's promising us a BONKERS season! He seems genuinely psyched for it - adding to my hype levels!

Book Festival programme is so big it's taken me til end of the day to realise that Viggo will be there too!! 😍 The ticket queue is going to be an even bigger bun fight than usual come on-sale day! www.edbookfest.co.uk/the-festival...

Yessss, V.E. Schwab at the Edinburgh book festival, as I'd hoped (was so annoyed I missed out on tickets for her Traverse event end of this month). Bring on the Louis/Lestat inspired lesbian vampires, love story, and feminine rage! #BuryOurBones www.edbookfest.co.uk/the-festival...

This cast... 🥹 I was obsessed with Hamilton back in the day, and the way I can still name everyone in this photo ten years later! Very excited for the OBC reunion performance at the Tony's tomorrow #HamilTEN

New Dracula! Surprise Luc Besson, with Caleb Landry Jones looking suitably deranged as the Count (and Christoph Waltz v/o as Priest), apparently the focus is more on his 'lost love'. No UK or US distribution yet, just France and Germany youtu.be/w05UztF-3xY?...

A new Hannah Moscovitch play, RED LIKE FRUIT, coming to the Trav for Edinburgh Fringe?! Well now, consider that my first August show booked. How exciting!

Lovely interview, with questions that are allowed to breathe, Jacob gives us so much to consider in return! #iwtv

Had to be done...😇 Adoration of the Shepherds with a Donor (Vecchio), aka Arun and the Holy Family And my battered copy of #iwtv, being a dork in the Louvre Mad that it's up high in the corner, ignored by the madness around the Mona Lisa across the room (pic in next post)

Inside you there are two wolves... Getting my conclave updates on lowest volume, while listening to #TheRingsOfPower cinematographer Alex Disenhof in conversation with ARRI. Love all the technical chat!

I'd made a library reservation for Conclave MONTHS ago, the queue was understandably long cos of the film. Felt gloriously timely to have finally gotten my copy on the same day the actual Conclave starts (the reservation queue behind me is even longer now!) #conclave

NEW BLOG! #TheLordOfTheRings #TheRingsofPower Ep206: “Where Is He?” Read all about it in my new blog entry👇🏼 bearmccreary.com/the-lord-of-...

Wooh! Congrats to the #TROP team for all their great work. The Rings of Power now a BAFTA-winning show! 🌟

I love this, the 🩸💜 colours are so perfect! #IWTV #InterviewWithTheVampire posters are always art

For those wondering what Tolkien would have thought about artificial intelligence, he actually addressed it quite explicitly in the Fellowship of the Ring: "Ai! Ai!" wailed Legolas. "A Balrog has come!"

Daniel Hart made it into my 2024 Spotify Wrapped after less than one quarter - he and Sam Reid are gonna own my 2026! Will Bear McCreary be knocked off the top spot he's held the last few years?! 😆 Great to see Mara LePere-Scloop at this event too, production design is so brilliant on #IWTV

Let's gooooo!! You know it's going to be glorious when these two are cooking together! #TheRingsOfPower #TROP

Would've been keen for STEREOPHONIC in London anyway, with Broadway hype and praise, but realising Nia Towle (Estrid! #TheRingsOfPower) and Chris Stack (Tom Anderson! #InterviewWithTheVampire) will be in it, makes it a slam dunk www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatre-news...

What a great bit of "yeah we're not filming yet, but we got this, calm down, have some fun crumbs" promo! 😁 #IWTV #InterviewWithTheVampire

It's speculation season! 💫 I'm seeing elf for Jamie Campbell Bower, and Númenor or Dwarf for Eddie Marsan. The latter continuing TROP's trend of securing some of the most solid older acting talent out there #TheRingsOfPower variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Age yourself with a film you saw in the theatre 📽️🍿🥤

Starting #TROPrewatch, wooh! Having to cook as I watch so won't be able to post as I go til later, but looking forward to it, haven't rewatched in months!

Plankstat is too perfect 😁

I'm going in... #IWTV #InterviewWithTheVampire Loved the show without any book knowledge, but also love immersing myself in the wider thinking and discussions. Wanted to read DRACULA first, which I've finished and really liked (CARMILLA too!). Preparing myself for a very different book now...

What better way to spend Valentine's than embarking on a collective #TROPrewatch! Check out the gorgeous art below, and @jobot935.bsky.social's page for links to the feed and schedule for all the episodes. Feel like Amazon announced the S3 #TheRingsOfPower official renewal specially for it!

Voted! I haven't been on Bluesky properly in a while so I'd missed the #TROPYawards - today was a good day for it! I actually found the Best Original Character category one of the hardest to choose, which speaks well to #TheRingsOfPower show creations

Great to have it (finally!) officially confirmed, and to see Charlotte and Sanaa returning as directors. I'm holding judgement on the time jump til we know more - makes sense for most storylines for sure, but I worry for my Númenor faves #TheRingsOfPower

Truly enjoyed all the excited posts and photos yesterday from the Australian premiere of S3 of #TheNewsreader, following some lovely new accounts off the back of it - but realising I'll probably have to mute all til I figure out how I can watch eps in the UK at the same time 😭

Serious face #SamReid "Are we being filmed while we're watching this? Oh, it's happening..." This precious man really doesn't like being perceived! 9 minutes of him and #AnnaTorv reacting to their incredible emotional scene in #TheNewsreader S1 final - can't wait for S3! youtu.be/gRUYJA0vRCg?...

Season 3 of #TheNewsreader is looking gooood! First two seasons are on BBC iPlayer, so plenty of time to catch up and watch it (twice) before 2nd February!

One of my favourite meme formats, with one of my favourite shows - so glad to know who the original creator was now! #TheRingsOfPower

I only started looking up #InterviewWithTheVampire stuff more after the second season, and how lucky that this was one of the first bits of art I came across - still incredible! #IWTV #fanart

Found it! 😍 No idea who to credit unfortunately - please let me know if you know. #TheRingsOfPower #TROP #Celebrimbor #Galadriel #Annatar

The one I most want to track down was a cartoon drawing someone had done of the two women pointing at cat meme, except it was ep 7 Celebrimbor and Galadriel vs Annatar and a plate with 9 rings - it was perfect 🥲 #TROP #TheRingsOfPower #Celebrimbor #Galadriel #Annatar
