Drew Struzan - a master. And a massive loss. Behind some of my favourite posters from my favourite films. RIP, sir.

Good ones keep dropping, the bad ones stubbornly refuse to. Stupid world.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years. His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds. A massive loss 💔

The imdb page for I Swear (great film, go see it) credits the actress standinv in for the Queen as “Queen Elizabeth 11”, which makes it the best sci-fi film releassed this weekend.

Heidecker is living hard, making sure comedy still has the power to fight back, punch up, and isn't falling to the big money arseholes that misuse their platforms, all while still being really really funny at all times and genuinely nice and kind.

Time was this conversation made up act 2 of many a sitcom, now the male loneliness epidemic is burning up the planet.

Oh no! Oh no! The Book Club franchise is over. Fuck death.

Congrats to H from Steps, who stands supreme.

We made the market!! We have to regulate it!! The Market is not God! We can change its algorithms!!

so glad that I've been alive for three market crashes and yet so many people still believe in "free markets" while the the economic system scams, controls, exploits and destroys people instead of paying for their work so they can live worthy lives.

Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile debuts tonight on The Onion's YouTube channel at 7 p.m. ET. Finally somebody will release some dang Epstein Files if you know what I'm sayin'!!!

This is such a load of disingenuous bullshit. ‘Governments aren’t their people’ - ok but the Saudi government are paying you?

Forget reading sci-fi and thinking it's good, these guys read about how IBM counting machines helped facilitate the Holocaust and thought "and look, 80 years later it's still a major profitable corporation!"

if you’ve ever watched the apprentice, that’s the world without arts or humanities degrees

On the first Shocktober ep of 2025 @areyoumoviemad.bsky.social we get a peaceful night's sleep after heading to Silent Hill, and also I guess my controversial thoughts on One Battle After Another (Sorry for being a shit human) www.podnose.com/are-you-movi...

Tried a new BBC comedy that from its title should be up my street and I’ve known many kinds of film nerds over many decades but the two that lead this thing talk in no way, heightened or not, like film nerds. They speak in normcore mass audience “lol, weirdo” speak.

Excl: HEAT 2 IS HAPPENING...Amazon MGM division UNITED ARTISTS has beat out several companies to nab the Michael Mann crime thriller, which was put on the shopping block by Warner Bros. after budget issues. Details here: www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Moonlighting is now streaming for free in the UK. A great show - with some episodes ranking among the very best TV. player.stv.tv/summary/disn...

I’m directing a movie right now. variety.com/2025/film/gl...

Not in danger enough to get antidepressants, not broken-brained enough for ADHD meds, not immunosuppressed enough for a Covid Booster. This is the NHS that was completely vapourised by 15 years of Tory rule. Absolutely fucked.

the fuck is this shit

Stewart Lee: Louis C. K. thinks he was cancelled for being made to apologise for masturbating in front of women & then seems to be able to carry on. Being cancelled is what happens to a journalist in Saudi Arabia where you get chopped into bits & put into a suitcase. That’s what being cancelled is.

Hey chums , don’t forget that tomorrow is a special day for a free speech warrior & surprise masturbator to join hands at Riyadh comedy festival (& Jack Whitehall will be there for some splashback) - & they’ll still be on your TV all the time because these values are more acceptable than socialism

Labour is trying to prove mental health and neurodivergent conditions are over-diagnosed so it can cut DWP benefits further- and they’ve hired the dr who ruined people with ME's lives to do it. Me for @thecanaryuk.bsky.social www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

Greta Thunberg: "I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me. But that is not the story. What happened here was Israel… continuing to worsen and escalate their genocide and mass destruction with genocidal intent, attempting to erase an...

Pt1 🧵: Greta Thunberg deported to Athens says, "There's a live-streamed Genocide in front of our eyes in Gaza. No one will be able to say they didn't know this was happening. The Global Samud Flotilla only existed because our leaders failed. Our international systems are betraying Palestinians."

Bluesky deleted my post complaining about the CEO lol. I did not delete it myself! Full on Lowtaxing from Jay here.

A new Moomin movie is in the works. Rebecca Sugar is writing and directing. The first American Moomin movie but the seventh in total, besides all of the TV and shorts. www.moomin.com/en/blog/moom...

The thing about using AI--even in a short I was otherwise enjoying, like this one--is it's a poison pill. I can no longer judge the work by its craft. How can I trust that all those practical monsters were the filmmaker's idea? Can I believe them when they say they wrote it?

OPENAI LAWYER: so how does this sound. 'user x' pays us $3 to generate a video of elsa suffocating him with her ass. from that, you will receive a princely 50¢ DISNEY LAWYER: i am going to shoot you with a gun

Surprised and delighted to hear that THE DAMNED won’t the Special Jury Prize at the Dinard Festival of British and Irish Film over the weekend! www.screendaily.com/news/dragonf...

The Rock is never wearing those glasses again.

F1 coverage was doing a good job recreating the 'everyone's got a doc team' Popstar scene, and then they throw on Riyadh Comedy Festival's own Jack Whitehall. Wonder why he feels so safe in a venue full of rich moral less monsters.

This perfectly encapsulates Labour's authoritarian mindset. There is no merit to the causes being protested; there are merely mystifying and annoying protesters, swarms of gnats who must be swatted away until the inconvenience stops.

It’s easy to say that this is the last desperate hurrah of a dying party, but can we be clear: Trump’s ICE agents are literally kidnapping people, detaining them without due process in concentration camps (yes, this is the right term) and 1000s have disappeared. These are fascist practices.

God, I love Clancy Brown.

Oracle employees who expressed support for Palestine were "referred to internal mental health resources." Oracle is about to own TikTok.
