I think @georgepenney.bsky.social *might* be the only reason I bother to check Social Media each day...

Sinners invites a new bold business idea. What if people want to see movies because they like them and not due to a pavlovian response to being 12 years old once!?

Excited and intrigued to see the return of Digg. https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/05/kevin-rose-and-alexis-ohanian-acquire-digg/ I hope it manages to somehow hook into the Fediverse natively.

Damn. Gene Hackman. I know there's more critically acclaimed films - but these favourites of mine now need a rewatch soon. * The French Connection * Enemy of the State * Royal Tenebaums * Mississipi Burning

Excited that #Lanterns is now in production. DC Studios’ new show for HBO and Max, from creators Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof, & Tom King, starring Kyle Chandler & Aaron Pierre, is something really special.
