It's appropriate John Cena is retiring from wrestling in December considering how often he is mentioned in the best Christmas song of all time youtu.be/4feIwig2AtA?...

Film In Dublin are getting behind the The Complex Cultural & Arts space. Another cultural venue in the city is at risk, please sign & share my.uplift.ie/petitions/sa... @uplift.ie

Wow rude???

can we propose some new christmas movie discourse, my proposal as ever is If You Laugh At The Old Maid Mary Bit In 'It's A Wonderful Life' You're Actually An Idiot And You Don't Understand The Movie

Lots of articles about how people in Ranelagh feel about the Metrolink, few if any about how people in Swords feel, and likewise for people in Finglas and the delay of the Luas extension. Strand Road, Ranelagh and the Galway Ring Road, that's all you get about public transport.

This month @thenewtheatre.bsky.social is set to screen films not yet seen in Ireland based around revolution, colonialism and the media, as part of the Connolly Live Sessions: filmindublin.ie/2025/12/01/c...

Lmao

This could cure me

Every Dublin restaurant should draw straws and only the winner is allowed do the "say its carol singers" bit on social media

Reading The Last Action Heroes and amidst all the great stories about the tough guy lunkheads it off-handedly mentions Jason Alexander wearing a cardigan to the premiere of Cliffhanger. You better believe I looked that cardigan up and it didn't disappoint

we will make celebrities label their political smears with #sponcon from now on

On 21 Nov Award-winning auteur Lucile Hadžihalilović will be at @irishfilminstitute.bsky.social for a masterclass event hosted by film critic Tara Brady, reflecting on filmmaking and her career to date: filmindublin.ie/2025/11/12/a...

"super junior at the department of children" undeniably a funny title, it's like what someone might call you for being a big crybaby about something

gonna sneak a taste of the Butter Museum Bog Butter when no one is looking

Every ad now

Wait no the actual funniest part is that Oates was saying Musk is so obviously miserable and lonely that life's simplest pleasures are beyond him but his greasy, flat brain couldn't understand that point so he just went "if I haven't seen any movies explain why I've seen this movie"

So everyone talks about the Weird And Unnecessary Bit Of Business that King writes about in the sewers in It but nobody warned me about the extended sequence where Adult Ben reminisces about looking up a girl's skirt as a boy

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice. KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond. His reply was a doozy.

Babe wake up new Michael Shannon movie promo just dropped

In tribute to Donal 'Mr Manhattan' O'Neill, the founder of Manhattan Popcorn and Peanuts, who died recently, I made a batch of Manhattan Cookies: Manhattan popcorn, peanuts, salt and vinegar crisps, chocolate chips and a peanut honey drizzle

hell yeah

GDT's love for monsters creates this very optimistic judo reversal effect in Frankenstein where he's so sympathetic to the monster that it of course leans into "Victor is the REAL monster" which leads to GDT going "wait...Victor is the real what? 👀"

if he doesn't turn into a flying car I'm not interested

Plugging this one again. It’s the 2nd last issue of this series that I’ve had so much fun writing. If you’ve enjoyed (or not) the films A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, One Battle After Another, A House of Dynamite or Bugonia in the last two months, please have a read. Final issue out December 30th!

bluesky mods retire bitch

I've always loved this anecdote from Mira Nair, filmmaker and mother of Zohran Mamdani, about pitching a studio exec on MISSISSIPPI MASALA (1991) and being told he'd only fund it if it had more white people "I said, 'Well, all the waiters in this film will be white. Of that, I can promise you.'"

There’s a huge gulf between levels of fear of Dublin city centre, and levels of crime, a new survey shows. The City Centre Crime Victim Survey was commissioned by Dublin Inquirer and carried out by Amarách Research.

Cult Movie Club is one the hottest tickets in town for film fans in Dublin so we sent Ihinose Enebi along to check out one of their recent movie meet-ups: www.youtube.com/shorts/xJzzu...

Crazy they haven't been out to make a very strong statement on this yet. Predictable but crazy

Keelan has been killing it with this series, and part 4 is no different, gwan and click 👇

There are sharks in the water and revolutions on TV in the latest of @keelanhothothot.bsky.social's series exploring the films of 1975 and 2025 together. Read now: filmindublin.ie/2025/10/30/7...

we should get to Community Note stories not only when they're false, or lacking context, but also when they're obviously something the person making the story doesn't really give a shit about

“We need to respect the opinions of everybody who spoiled their vote” Actually I think you’ll find that they spoiled their vote because we’ve lost the ancient art of telling people to cop on for themselves when they’re talking shite

By failing to even get nominated for the Presidency while another independent candidate scored a record victory, I have of course been proven right

This was unique circumstances for spoiled vote: no anti-gov candidate anywhere on the right, loud online campaign, week of riots. It’s still going to end up with less than half the vote Peter Casey got as a similar protest. The “political earthquake” here is the thumping victory for the united left

Ahead of its screening at this year's @irishfilminstitute.bsky.social Horrorthon, Jack Warren reviews Exorcist II doc Boorman and the Devil: filmindublin.ie/2025/10/22/b...

I love Dublin to my bones but would definitely prefer to live in a city with fewer or maybe even zero race riots

What can you even say about riots like this kicking off in such a predictable manner. So depressing. It would be relatively easy to address this stuff and stop these pieces of shit if there was any real interest in stopping them.

My man @primarycinema.bsky.social

good movie coming!

Today's vanity unicorn issues the left must abandon in order to engage real politics is tomorrow's groundswell support to rally around while telling the left they must abandon their other issues

Before the invention of bookmarks, portraiture was actually the only way of recording what page of your book you were on

once again,

This is the greatest day of my life, yuppa Gorgo

Jim Gavin election posters all around Ireland like Easter Island stone heads. Who put them there? Nobody knows. What is their purpose? Perhaps astral guides for interstellar observers, perhaps a crude calendar by which the olden times people kept track of the seasons & feastdays. We can only guess.
