interviewed one of my absolute favourite filmmakers in the world, lynne ramsay, about die my love. she is extremely lovely, quite shy, and a total genius, imo lwlies.com/interviews/l...

And yet plenty of writers still take gigs from them!!! Hm!!

I love the random celebrity q&a hosts that get drafted in for awards season. Like wdym kenneth branagh's moderating a q&a with ryan coogler and the cast of sinners lmfao

I truly hate the phrase 'content creation' it gives me the ick

he's evil but the photos he's given us have been so fucking funny

feel like an idiot for not picking up the miami vice sylvanian families set in tokyo

BFI saying they accredited 860 press for LFF. If you conservatively estimate just 660 of them paid the £50 fee - likely more but I'm allowing for 200 comps - that's 33k coming in just from press accreditation. And they don't even have a press room lmao

Thrilled to write even more about BUGONIA, this time over at @lwlies.com where I look at the film as a synthesis of the various strains of Stanley Kubrick running through the work of Yorgos Lanthimos. (Many thnaks to @daveyjenkins.bsky.social for helping focus the idea!) lwlies.com/this-just-in...

As someone who deals with pitches a lot, if you are pitching an editor and do not back up your idea with even the briefest examples and references to source material, you are making it extremely difficult for them to see the potential in your pitch

Idk if it's down to the Barbie movie or Wicked or whatever but I am very much over the 'adult girlhood' phenomenom...you are not just a girl you have taxes and obligations...you can have whimsy in your life without infantalising yourself

Modern film marketing is so cooked bc you can be Lynne Ramsay and make a film as beautiful as Die My Love and it gets promoted with scented candles and Katniss/Edward Cullen memes made "in partnership" with random IG accounts

My own personal concept of hell is just the plane disembarking process over and over again for eternity

Which sick fuck put the plane crash episode of ER on the finnair in flight entertainment system

it might be asking too much but i'd really like the UK voting population who are still of sound mind to look at new york tonight and realise that we fucking CAN keep farage out of no. 10 and that labour and the tories are not a foregone conclusion. better options exist and they can become a reality!

huge night for this classic

First hot mayor of new york ever too. Prove me wrong

Listen, this is a huge win for New York, but importantly, it's a devastating loss for so many evil people, and - more importantly - sooooooo embarrassing for them LMAO i know those old white men have the stress shits right now

Everyone who said they would leave NYC if Mamdani won needs to go now. Pack your shit. You have until dawn

On the one hand 14 hours in economy sucks and the plane food smelled so bad I nearly threw up just from proximity to it. On the other I did see the Northern Lights over Finland which was cool

Lmao do george bush next

Dick Cheney won't see your mean jokes about his death, but Tony Blair will, hopefully.

Honestly I can take or leave a 'good question' from an interview subject but an 'Ooh I love your tattoos'? That's the good shit brother

This is such a funny statement to make when Trump's endorsed you lmaoooo

With Frankenstein landing on Netflix this week, here's @hannahstrong.co.uk in conversation with @realgdt.bsky.social on the creation of the film he has always wanted to make. 🖤🥀 lwlies.com/interviews/g...

Ringo Starr as 'Thomas the Tank Engine Narrator'

Loving based pope why lie

Hi Lisa Nandy! I’m a BAFTA winner from a small town. Instead of asinine questions like this, why not tell us how we can continue to make a living in the eviscerated creative sector over which you notionally preside?

So many layers of hilarity to this, not least what a piece of shit the Road House remake was to begin with

We need to invent some make up that makes your face pixelate on camera bc I am sick and tired of being in a store and getting stuck next to someone filming for tiktok or whatever

Just walked by a troupe of Japanese preschoolers all dressed up for Halloween and one of them had a ladybird costume 😭😭😭 my heart

How did Guillermo del Toro’s new Frankenstein film take inspiration from the Hunterian Museum? @realgdt.bsky.social

i keep getting served instagram adverts for novels that all sound like bad sally rooney rip-offs. young british literature is in a crisis

Daylight savings got you down? Us too, but we’ve got a scarily good offer to lift your spirits 👻 For the next 48 hours, get 20% off on a subscription to LWLies magazine: lwlies.imbmsubscriptions.com/creature20

The fact The Shards went from a Luca Guadagnino series starring Jacob Elordi to a Ryan Murphy-produced show directed by Henry Winkler's kid starring Kaia Gerber....lmaoooo

If you're still on X, please consider closing your account now. Please risk losing whatever audience or customers you fear you'll lose by shutting up shop there. They'll find you and you them.

lmao david byrne showed the video of the ice agents tripping over themselves while trying to run after a biker on wacker drive during the “life during wartime” segment of his chicago show tonight

Tokyo you are so good to me

A lot of writers are great at communicating but more and more I'm getting very entitled pitch emails treating me like a customer service rep people are mad at rather than a paid publication lmao

I'm touring the Kewpie mayo factory today. Remarkably this didn't come up in my autism diagnosis session

NEW YORK FRIENDS: I am introducing a screening of The Royal Tenenbaums at 3pm on Nov 15th at The Roxy! Come say hi, maybe buy a book! www.roxycinemanewyork.com/screenings/t...

I've noticed a few shops in Tokyo witj announcements to please not film or stream in the store and I'd like this to become a thing everywhere, I don't want to be on your social media when I'm just out existing

They saw me coming this is such an incredible intersection of my interests

A portion of every dollar spent on Harry Potter merchandise goes to anti-transgender campaigns.

block function on here is so good i love that when some idiot walks into my replies saying some bullshit i can just nuke them from my eyeline

yes bc he wanted the creature to be beautiful! the whole point is that this was victor's life's work! he was made from a place of love modelled on statues of saints!

A lot of film junkets now seem focused on the interviewer as much as the subject which I think is a side effect of influencer culture/the huge success of Chicken Shop Date but I think it sucks because I simply don't care about this I want to know about the movies

Can only assume Tokyo has done this in an effort to make Trump feel at home

Not my flight to Tokyo having The Pitt before UK TV does
