Every awful person has learned the same lesson in the last ten years: there are no consequences.

Liked this article about Mubi’s place in the culture, what it stands for and the kind of people likely to use it. www.vulture.com/article/mubi...

"to be cherished for its sweet scenes of friendship & resolution, and less so for its post-WWII paranoia." An ageing Holocaust survivor suspects the new man next door might be the Führer in the Udo Kier-starring MY NEIGHBOR ADOLF, out Friday in theaters! Read @scottaawilson.bsky.social's review!

Way too early to give away who the secret traitor is, but what ya gonna do when they got a traitor so early and it’s a relatively short game anyway? I think it’s Jade but, given the heavy editing, I suspect there is literally no evidence anywhere in the first three episodes.

Seems like the moon was just showing off this afternoon.

Oh, that IS a super moon.

Thought Marty Supreme was the first time Chalamet really looked like a movie star. An old-fashioned, A-list ticket seller! Carried the whole thing, made me wanna see him work with other all-time greats. Stupendously good movie and it all hinges on him.

Traitors is gonna have to do something about the way non-white people are treated at the start of the game. I love this show but it is undeniably an issue.

Traitors is never beating the racism allegations. People of colour always the first suspects! It’s a great game but wow is this a depressing trend.

"It was Christmas week: we took to no settled employment, but spent it in a sort of merry domestic dissipation." --Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

I'd bottle twixmas. Undefeated best time of the year.

Since the BBC and most corporate media have decided to become accomplices in the “we’re going to bore you with sequels and remakes until the cinematic experience dies” movement, here’s a thread of original movies coming this year + release dates where available

What's the science behind finding the Family Guy chicken fights pure genius in your mid 30s?

Christmas trees in the city by Hiroshi Nagai

My true Christmas wish - the thing I hold most hopeful in my heart - is that each and every one of you has a better 2026 than you had in 2025. May the fates be generous and kind and you all receive the blessings you all so richly deserve. Merry Christmas and much love to you all.

Christmas Eve timeline cleanse

Watched Bergman’s Autumn Sonata at 1am last night (this morning), it’s unfortunate the deepest part of the night is also the best time to watch a film

There are things you come across that stir up some dormant longing and, as new year looms especially, make you throw your hands in the air and say fuck it, motivationally, and that’s how watching The New Yorker at 100 felt.

Caught up with STEVE on Netflix, a Cillian Murphy barnstormer, a sensory overload set in a reform school. It's a little televisual, but anything about teachers doing their best for troubled students never misses for me.

Once you realise every piece of MCU content is just a trailer for the next piece of MCU content, it’s like being released from jail

For any other airplane nerds with Flightradar24, Santa is now trackable

Challengers is on the BBC and there are people who’d rather watch superhero films than sexy tennis movies, can you believe

Don't know what to say about Sentimental Value except I want to spend my entire life watching films like this one.

The films of the year: 26 discoveries, 10 old favourites, 7 bad movies, 6 re-appraisals and 5 obsessions. Feat. all your faves: Linda Fiorentino, Joan Micklin Silver, Sinners, Wallis Island, Argentinean child noir, and really quite a lot of John Ford. advicetothelovelorn.blogspot.com/2025/12/revi...

Every time I see a single frame of Jurassic Park I don't understand how they made those dinosaurs look so real and why special effects have only gotten more unrealistic in the 30 years since.

Jake Paul and Andrew Tate getting smacked about is the new woke.

In this lovely list going to bat for Winter in Sokcho!

Best thing about the Taylor Swift Disney+ doc is how it strips away much of the celebrity, the gossip, the metatextual stuff and gets back to a generational artist putting on a show. Back to the music, the performance, what it’s all about. Been missing that lately.

This studio awards-season email is really matching the current mood in a way I’m not sure they intended.

🧵 Like in the old days, allow me a quick thread of my favorite stories I've worked on this year! Posting doesn't really feel the same anymore, but writing is good.

If you are a) in the US and b) on NetGalley, you can request a copy of THE INN AT THE FOOT OF MOUNT VENGEANCE now! My debut cozy fantasy novel, inspired by misadventures in academia, glorious adventures in D&D, and tentative adventures in Scotland's mountains: www.netgalley.com/catalog/book...

Put the name and description of interviewees every single time they appear in a documentary and not just their first appearance, you cowards

Go where the audience is! Great idea imo and hardly the first major brand to set up shop on YouTube.

Twitter’s death sucks for we terminally online freaks, but the decline of Facebook is astounding. Just as self-inflicted by promoting ragebait and filling the feed with nonsense instead of what we wanted to see: what our friends are up to!

Terrible time to have not seen The Way of Water, but there are so few stories I want to sit through 192 minutes of. Is it worth it or did you have to be there, in the cinema, not worrying about what else you could be doing?

Tfw you had no idea you’re taking part in an effective boycott 💪

I'm just not the kind of poster who considers being online a dutiful act, in which you must convince moral opponents of their toxic traits. I don't wake up itching to butt heads with someone today. I just wanna hang.

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

Impossible to look at this and not think - yep - that's exactly what cinema is. Cruel news to wake up to and a terrible loss.

As a non-smoker and non-drinker Blue Moon really made me wanna reconsider being such a square, maybe we’re all meant to share quips in bars talking about art all night

Great long-read. Made me feel that, broadly, society had been moving in the same direction until recently, just at different paces. Now, people are having to choose what they believe in: the law or the dignity of our friends, family and neighbours. tfn.scot/news/long-re...

Absolutely devastating. Great match, the ending worked - the ‘that’s all I’ve got’ smile - but the send-off was what it was all about. I watched his debut episode 23 years ago, I remember it so clearly, Sky1 on a Saturday morning. 11 years old with my dad. 34 now, partner asleep beside me.

Expecting John Cena’s retirement match here to have the same effect as the In Memory part of the Oscars. One of the good ones, a real-life superhero, a parasocial bestie for 20+ years - there’s literally no one else like him.

Worried I respect The Mastermind more than I enjoy it! Typically slow stuff but I usually feel Reichardt’s quiet scenes are filled with something profound. Felt myself wanting this one to get a move on more often than not.

My partner provided a public service tonight by sitting me down and making me watch Chicago. Absolutely no one looks better on screen than Richard Gere.
