I like this trend of actually properly investigating people mentioned thousands of times in the Epstein files, and I trust it'll continue.

I know you're all reading about Andrew being arrested, but as some counter-programming, I watched Glen Powell in How To Make A Killing. I put thoughts down. These ones. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3Im...

People who don't eat cat food will be left behind, says boss of cat food firm. People who don't stick forks in their ears will be at a disadvantage, says fork in ear specialist. People who listen to George Osborne will be worse off, says George Osborne.

Thoughtfully, the screen on this train is reminding me to bring the umbrella that I left at home some 75 minutes ago.

every shot-on-video, made-with-a-camcorder horror movie that's just some teenage friend group fucking around in the woods with some fake blood and a monster mask contains more artistic merit, human joy and creative light than anything AI has ever made or will ever, ever make

My cough has nearly gone now. This is significant progress.

We're having a few problems with our website this morning, so please bear with us. In the meantime, please do enjoy this picture of a kestrel.

If you're going to moan about it, at least have the courtesy to do it on LinkedIn or into your neighbor's Ring camera

Increasingly regular reminder that just because someone has a billion or more in the bank, it doesn't mean their opinions are right.

Feeling vaguely human. Been a while.

AI Chatbot That Only Responds ‘Huh’ Valued At $200 Billion

Right after Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, Steven Spielberg began work on a sequel. We look back at the unmade Night Skies. filmstories.co.uk/features/nig...

Just finished this. An absolute joy to hear two people who just love films. Some of which are futuristic prison breaks.

My top ten new films of 2026 so far. 1. Send Help 2. Some other films

Coffee may be required to combat the failure of sleep. Morning.

Bezos burning the Washington post to the ground is as firm a reason for the continued bbc licence as ever there was. Eventually everything that can be owned by a billionaire will be owned by a billionaire and at that point its future will be determined by the whims of a man making 166k per minute.

Turns out 2026 is the year that Rachel McAdams shooed me away. Wasn't on my bingo card. www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8JP...

Please will someone write a story about the impact of the Beatles movies on the rest of the independent British film sector? Hottest British actors tied up for months and months and months. Everyone having to schedule around them.

YouTube has flagged this video we made, on how the James Bond team got the name Pussy Galore past the UK and US censors. It got past 1960s censors, but not 2020s algorithms! buff.ly/18ckqmE

I know I'm a bit late noticing this, but there weren't that many people at Scott and Charlene's wedding in Neighbours.

YouTube has decided that the video I recorded about Pussy Galore is not safe. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGFs...

An early start for Redruth to Bristol for @slapstickfest.bsky.social - midday Laurel and Hardy awaits slapstick.org.uk

There was an era in my life where opening up the morning news didn't feel like the first stress test of the day. This is not that era.

Logan's Run but instead of being euthanised when you reach a certain age, you get offed when your bank account holds more money than you can spend in a lifetime and the money gets spent on schools and hospitals and shit. I don't know, I'm still thinking it through.

An episode in which I spend more time than I should pitching Sam Raimi a futuristic prison movie... filmstories.co.uk/podcast/podc...

Have slightly lowered the strength of the coffee after what could politely be described as yesterday's 'miscalculation.'

Your regular reminder that just because a billionaire says it, doesn't mean it's true.

Terrible banana.

Well, I'm a couple of quid down already...

This week, #Melania heads to cinemas, a $40m documentary with a marketing budget akin to a mid-level studio film. It may be one of the most expensive documentaries ever. Here’s how it compares to other films of its type... buff.ly/oDE6dcf

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is surely the best Star Wars film of the Disney/Lucasfilm era. But it also marked the point where things started to go wrong behind the scenes... www.youtube.com/watch?v=diZV...

ON FRIDAY THIS WEEK, yes, the 30th, come and join me for An Evening with Sooz Kempner at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern (45 second walk from the station). It's selling REAL nice so I recommend getting your £10 ticket now. ✨ www.outsavvy.com/event/31688/... ✨

To muster up the regular hate required to be a Daily Mail headline writer must be so exhausting.

A coffee.

Kindness costs nothing. I didn't even know who this man was as I was growing up, but I watch this clip a lot.

Just checked. No midnight screenings of Melania for opening night.

The star of Brett Ratner's new film here, saying to a camera what she isn't saying at home.

Evergreen.

Anyway, here's my latest angry ranty video. I love physical film media, but the resale price of one boxset left me screaming 'HOW MUCH?!' at the screen. Nobody heard me. youtube.com/watch?v=q-he...

Yesterday, at Reel Brum, somebody started talking to me about how good the film No Way Out is, and how nobody had really heard of it. Under my coat? A No Way Out t-shirt. This actually happened.

Yesterday, I wrote lots, a shelf of Blu-rays fell on me, I went to Reel Brum, took ages to fall asleep and then got woken up by the sodding cat. Today, the sequel...
