Goodfellas is a Christmas movie. Change my mind.

What was meant to be a short, fun, bonus little episode, ended up - yes, short and fun - but also one of the most interesting topics, deepest dives, and interconnected mazes I have navigated. One of my favourite episodes so far, I think.

I’m feeling festive.

Film friends, please DM me your email addresses if you’d like to take part in @heyuguys.bsky.social ’s annual best movie of the year poll. I can send you the google form with how to vote. Thanks.

Go watch Pluribus! OMG!

This morning, I spoke at the SOMOS Labor Breakfast. "We are not looking to remake New York City in my image. We are looking to remake it in the image of struggling workers across the five boroughs."

E from Eels is the son of quantum physicist Hugh Everett. You’re welcome. #TOTP

★★★★★ A masterful adaptation that stands as one of the best renditions of Dumas' work to date. This is a visually stunning adaptation, which honours the original novel but also enhances it, offering a fresh and compelling take on a timeless tale." @lindamarric.bsky.social @heyuguys.bsky.social

It doesn’t exactly surprise me but the Islamophobia directed at Mamdani is off the charts. Shameless gutter racism. His victory will be a defeat for the very worst people

This is why we need film critics to be cineliterate. I read about 20 reviews of One Battle…before encountering a single person who got two very obvious references. What is happening to film criticism should worry all of us.

I shall be watching THE DESERT ROCKER shortly and a Q&A hosted by @lindamarric.bsky.social, whoever that is (At Rich Mix on Bethnal Green Rd if you fancy it) richmix.org.uk/cinema/the-d...

Fuck! Charlie Kirk has now died.

Obviously I support the strike and all that, but that was just horrendous.

Ive had better days. 2 hours to get to work and almost 3 hours back. Just fucking grand.

That scared the shit out of me.

Graham Linehan is mentally ill. His obsession with trans people is pathological. Where are his friends and family? He should be hospitalised.

Angela Rayner is still fine by me.

And here is the visual guide to the episode. Enjoy! 1. Prehistoric figures from Thessaly, believed to be early “gorgoneia”, c.6000 BCE cc. @aalekas.bsky.social @poisonchallis.bsky.social @lindamarric.bsky.social @dr-ruthsmith.bsky.social

Some people are so toxic that I wish I could block them twice.

Part 2 is live! Very proud of this one. Thanks @alexpodyssey.bsky.social, an excellent job again.

🆕 AESOP II: A dolphin and a seagull were hurling insults at each other 🐬 Is truth a set of facts? Might something fake be authentic? Can you contruct a truth out of lies? And why are unreliable narrators more compelling? 🎧 open.spotify.com/episode/4hZ8... 🍏 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a...

My review of The Phoenician Scheme is up here: www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35064517/...

Update: He’s been told “it’ll be a few hours yet”. It’s already been ten hours. Dad’s still unable to get up from the floor.

History will judge all of us if we refuse to act.

The people of Gaza are being starved by the Israeli government. This is a fact.

A nice mention in Screen Daily. www.screendaily.com/news/london-...

So JD Vance killed the pope in the same way Liz Truss finished off the Queen. Coincidence? I think not.
