I was scared to read this because I just thought the likelihood of it being as good as (or even better than) My Phantoms was so remote. And yet…

I must know, if you "write" a "novel" using AI, is that also accepting that you should also forego payment? As an editor, I'd be like, okay, 65k words… shall we say that's worth… 2 quid?

Fabulous news.

The banality of watching someone else playing video games is channeled into this celeb-packed animation sequel that plays like an extended product advertorial. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie review: lwlies.com/reviews/the-...

Was sent an old print interview I did with Frederick Wiseman, and this opener (which coulda gone either way), yielded some nice lil zings…

Announcing… the new print edition of Little White Lies, inspired by the cinema of Jim Jarmusch, with special focus on his wonderful new film, Father Mother Sister Brother, which is out in the UK on 10 April. The cover is by Berlin-based illustrator Yannik Saal.

Recall going on a school trip around age 14/15 and we ended up in this rec room with loads of board games and a pool table. Also had a jukebox, and everyone pooled their money so we could play Prince’s Sexy MF back-to-back for two hrs. Teachers getting more and more livid every time it came on.

Weeping with joy as I managed to pick up a ex-Record Store Day copy of one of my favourite albums of all time, Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci’s Barafundle.

First sensible thing this mf has said while in office…

Sandy Powell's work in costume design is both a visual feast and also a treatise on the period film itself, reminding us that the past can only offer so much of itself, and the rest must be filled with dreams

If you ever see the term "big swing" in a film review, that means the film is bad in an interesting way.

Got an email from Netflix titled "We've Added Something You Might Like". Intrigued, I opened the email to discover they have added The Boss Baby (2017) to their platform.

I spoke to Amanda Seyfried lwlies.com/interviews/a... about The Testament of Ann Lee @lwlies.com

Excited for Paramount to give us a stream of starless, prestige versions of Daily Wire productions, each one crashing and burning harder than the last…

Three euphoric films on this week's episode, plus a big up to Abel Ferrara's new memoir, Scene.

No doubt at all that Labour will now lean further and harder into their swing right rather than a light capitulation towards what they think is the progressive cause, but is actually the reason people voted for them in the first place.

A perfect album. Shoulda been a million-seller…

just seen that my @lwlies.com interview with daniel blumberg about THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE is now online as well as in the magazine :) have a read please lwlies.com/interviews/d...

Omg it’s happening!

"I’m always searching for the perfect choreography between the camera and the performer" – The maker of The Testament of Ann Lee on creating a radical biography that’s forged in ecstatic song. In conversation with Mona Fastvold:

Sucks we’re getting a Cliff Booth spin-off movie when the world is clearly hankering for a Cyril Woodcock spin-off movie.

Cal McMau’s visceral feature debut, set in a men’s prison, provides a useful lens for considering how pop culture informs our understanding of policing and justice.

RIP Frederick Wiseman. I wrote a little remembrance for @lwlies.com about how I discovered his films, how my long journey commenced, and why I love the work so, so much. lwlies.com/in-praise-of...

Duvall - acting legend, but also top director. The Apostle - amazing, but also this little-seen masterpiece

Don’t let the excitement of the ritzy feature premieres fool you – Sundance’s brightest gems can be found in their excellent shorts programming.
