"Darth Maul: Shadow Lord" Ep 1 has a "Solo"-reminiscent speeder chase, then Darth Maul killing Corridor folks that looked/sounded like the one at the end of "Rogue One". Ep. 2 had another speeder chase...and another Darth Maul Corridor slaughter. Look forward to the Chase and Slaughter in Ep 3...

Watched Brian Kirk's "Dead Of Winter". Terrific direction, really excellent Christopher Ross cinematography. Great cast, Greer and Thompson are career-best here. But the script (which to its credit tosses you into the machinations from the get-go) will have you screaming at people doing Dumb Things.

Mark Ruffalo, Glenn Close, Ben Stiller, Jane Fonda, John Cusack, Kristen Stewart, JJ Abrams, Katie Phang, John Leguizamo, and over a thousand actors, writers, directors, journalists, producers, composers, and Hollywood executives have signed a letter against the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger: 🧵

Over 1,000 major names in Hollywood signed an open letter opposing the Warner Bros/Paramount merger. This includes Denis Villeneuve, J.J. Abrams, Bryan Cranston, Mark Ruffalo, Joaquin Phoenix, Damon Lindelof, Noah Wyle, Glenn Close, Jane Fonda, David Fincher, Ted Danson & more

Post an image of a game you played as a teenager: Chess, with my Dad, every night. Mastermind Space Invaders SW I had the D&D books when the game first came out...couldn't find anyone to play with me, because the idea was too weird for them. But I did like painting the figures, so there was that.

Post an image of a game you played as a teenager: Dark Tower, all the time, solo or with friends Dungeon board game with friends & family I couldn't get to play actual D&D Trivial Pursuit, whenever family got together, with cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. D&D 'nuff said

'The Day of Rest.' (1926) Although he was one of the most original artists working in England in the first quarter of the 20thC, Frederick Cayley Robinson remains an obscure figure. He spent several years in Florence studying Giotto and Michelangelo.

God. I wanted to watch a movie tonight, but now I'm glued to the Artemis link for reentry. Great tracker here to look at trackingStats alongside watching YouTube: artemis.cdnspace.ca

It's Friday, folks. Embrace your loved ones, pet the furry companions, ice up a cold one if that's your thing. Put on a movie. You deserve it. Above all, be glad you're not bitter and orange, and you have a life of happiness instead.

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Time to post your #LastFourWatched 8️⃣ This Week chopping block: • Hoppers • Crime 101 • Send Help • If I Had Legs I'd Kick You Crime 101 was best of these (despite some "huh?" plot moments), but Send Help was a lot of goofy Raimi-esque fun. MacAdams is hilarious. #filmsky

Saw "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You", which is well-written, well-shot, well-acted, but made me anxious and jittery and repeatedly made me wanted to scream, and if I'd never seen it I probably would be a whole lot happier, as it didn't really positively entertain me in my current work-stressed state.

I completely forgot that I'd signed up for the Artemis 2 Boarding Pass years ago! I guess my name was on that SD card that went with the mission. (I've been all over the Solar System, since the postcard campaign of Cassini back in the 90s!)

I'll be honest - I'm not really wowed with most of the songs that NASA are playing for the Artemis II crew to wake up to. But yesterday, their reveille was Bowie & Queen's "Under Pressure". So - yeah. THAT one I can totally get behind! Anyone know what today's is? www.cbc.ca/news/science...

Dunno how I missed this, but this pretty amazing "Dashboard" has just about every single thing you could want to see updated in real time about the NASA Orion Artemis II mission, plus links. It's very well set out. Yay, Canada! artemis.cdnspace.ca

Anytime I think of "Tenet", it's to throw up my hands that I wasted time watching that ridiculous amateur-hour piece of crap.

This is Armageddon. And armageddon fed-up of it...

I'm not going to lie. When I was listening to the NASA feed from Artemis II and heard there was going to be a VIP event, I was pulling for it to be...Tom Hanks.

Watching the Artemis 2 astronauts coming back from the moon on their feed (in silence!), reacting excitedly to seeing their Apollo 8 Bill Anders "Earthrise" recreation photos on their cockpit iPads for the first time is wild. (I hear them excitedly say the download they're sending is "priority")

👨‍🚀 The #Artemis II crew are now further from home than any humans ever, and European engines brought them there 🚀. 🌍 The record of 400 171 km was previously held by the Apollo 13 mission 🌕.

Rocky's “Amaze, Amaze, Amaze” catchphrase was mentioned in NASA communications with the Artemis II crew.

Hi, #Scriptsky. I'm Peter Briggs: I sold my first spec to Fox in '92. I'm credited co-writer on the 2004 movie "Hellboy"; past 30 years I've been hired-by or sold specs to all the major studios. My side hustle: I provide consultancy to emerging screenwriters serious about their craft. Links above!

If you see this, I implore you to post a picture from whatever device you're using, with no explanation.

Someone is taking the piss over at Marvel or Lucasfilm, or they've just ran out of creativity for Jedi names.

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Time to post your #LastFourWatched 🕰️ Jeez, what a weirdly-flat Last Four, for me. If it wasn't for "The Daytrippers", I'd just look like everybody else... • Secret Headquarters • The Daytrippers • Apollo 13 • Star Wars #filmsky

When I was writing the first Hellboy movie, I GENUINELY used to imagine something similar to this! ("Bedknobs And Broomsticks" was the second movie I ever saw at the cinema, and I'm slightly obsessed with it.)

Jeez. Is it really 22 years since Hellboy opened, @actordougjones.bsky.social? Where does the time go! Shout-out to @mikemignola.bsky.social, without whom we wouldn't be here. (And I'd still love to write a Hellboy comic for you, Mike!)

Came up with an absolutely INSANE way to remake a movie on a theme that's been done very well twice, and decently twice more (with a bunch of other movies doing variations on it.) I'm chortling so much, that I can't believe nobody's done it. And it's something that almost writes itself...

We're on our way to the moon, baby. Just remember that the European Space Agency built a LOT of this sucker... #Artemis2

Currently doing #screenwriting consultancy on a writer's serial killer cult script (through @scriptreaderpro.bsky.social), while the NASA Artemis 2 live feed plays on my iPhone next to my laptop. Bit different from watching Apollo 17 on a black and white TV in '72... www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3kR...

Urgh! I was disappointed in my movie-watching for February due to work getting in the way...this month was even worse. I didn't manage to even get into the "30s". Bah! #filmsky

Okay, people. Just remember. If the Emergency Broadcast System sounds tomorrow -- -- Don't assume it's just because it's April 1st.

Somebody please explain this thing that's been happening in the last few months in "fashion", where you only tuck your shirt into a few inches width above your zip, and the rest hangs out. Because it makes you look like a moron, and it's driving me mad.

Quite right too.

Supergirl trailer. Thinking this might be a video watch for me. youtu.be/UyoSARnKIRU?...

Harvey is on Film 4. Dammit, that's my productivity ruined for a little while...

Lot of people ragging on Andy Weir this weekend for his Star Trek comments. They probably haven't clicked through to his interview. The only contentious answer he gave was calling Enterprise "weird" (although he was probably referring to the stupid Time War subplot). Otherwise: I'm in the Weir Club.

I'm great at spotting stuff like this, but this one I don't think I would have ever seen. I'm actually almost as curious as to why it was in Power Of The Daleks, than it being in Project Hail Mary. (I did spot that my Ex did storyboards on the movie. Meh.)

The only* King I recognise. (*I'm British, c'mon. I also love Chuck. Sue me.)

Sure. But I don't give a crap about sports, and I'm not going to argue any point on that with anybody. Anyone arguing sports with me, I'll nod genially no matter their take. It's irrelevant, and boring. Someone disses my favourite films, I'll go for the jugular and stand bloody and unbowed.

Is it just me...or does that temporal paradox at the center of "Mike and Nick and Nick and Alice" really make that plot non-workable? #filmsky

Looking at the Artemis II mission patches. @NASA might have screwed the pooch a little here: "The Rocket's Red Glare" on the patch (from the US National Anthem) refers to BRITISH Congreve rockets' red trails, fired at Fort McHenry during the 1814 Battle of Baltimore...

Happy #LetterboxdFriday but...uh...not from Steve Zahn and Audrey Zahn. Time to post your #LastFourWatched 👀 I seem to have had no time for movies this week. This sucks. • Cold Storage • Cripple Creek • Project Hail Mary • Doctor In The House #filmsky

A Penguin Books vending machine, with a selection of books I wouldn’t have expected to see at a train station

My latest film music review is of the score for the new sci-fi epic PROJECT HAIL MARY, with music by Daniel Pemberton. moviemusicuk.us/2026/03/25/p...

Saw "Project Hail Mary". Liked "The Martian" more, but did really enjoy it. Too jokey the first half-hour, and had some science issues (how does Rocky react to the simulator ball when he can't "see" screens?) Rocky was cute. Fun sequences. I laughed out-loud repeatedly. It got a LEGO SET! #Filmsky

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS HATTER!

"Star Trek reboot under the Ellisons."

Starfleet Academy is actually getting a second season? Still? I'm REALLY surprised...

The "Kinema In The Woods" in Lincolnshire is the only cinema in Britain that shows its movies via *rear projection*. They also play an old-style organ on Saturdays. And they have a Dalek in their foyer!
