Critics: Margot Robbie was miscast! Accountants: I beg to differ.

Easily my favourite Outkast number.

Took a look at my 2026 stats to date, and I’ll confess: I’d watch MANIAC COP 2 over FACES seven days a week and twice on Sundays.

Robert Duvall AND Frederick Wiseman? Heaven just got a little bit more naturalistic and durational. ❤️‍🔥

No-one told me this movie was gothic af.

Wonderful performance, hugely deserved.

Train Dreams is great, fuck the haters, Train Dreams forever.

Excellent film - and as much as I like (and probably even prefer) a couple of the other contenders, this increasingly feels bolted on for the Oscar.

The final insult.

On a date

I’ll say it again: MY FATHER’S SHADOW is superb. Out in UK cinemas now.

[Sickos] Yes… yes!

Fair play to Sydney Sweeney for getting it adapted though.

Emerald Fennell’s “Wuthering Heights” (scare quotes included) plays like a tween’s horny imagining of what the novel might be like, based on a quick skim of a cheap 70s paperback’s back cover, and a more thorough glance at the sweaty ripped-shirt image on the front. (Complementary.) Hong Chau 🔥

Please be at Overlook, thank you kindly

We need to keep Jason Isaacs away from wellness retreats. HONEY BUNCH is on @shudder.com in the US, from today.

🤮 Labour needs to take these guys head on, not try to mirror their messaging about “economic concerns.” That just legitimises them, while they produce this kind of Handmaids Tale stuff. Absolute horrorshow.

RIP Bud Cort. ❤️‍🔥 Harold and Maude, those Life Aquatic and Heat supporting roles… but have you also considered… BRAIN DEAD (1990)?

I’m glad this girl was able to find some degree of community online, before she was murdered by the people she knew in “real life.”

Pretty solid February so far…

It’s time to dive head-first into the “WUTHERING HEIGHTS” discourse, and yes, I’ll say it: White Dress Video > Red Dress Video.

Stop stop stop what you are doing and watch this show. I am not kidding. (If you’re in the US, maybe it’s on BBC America? Not sure, sorry!)

My Father’s Shadow is a phenomenal film. If you follow me here this is a movie for you. It’s out now in the UK and I STRONGLY recommend you go and see it for reasons that would amount to spoilers - but if you trust me on anything, trust me on this.

Joe Pesci - Never to be forgotten.

Literally said this on a Very Important Call two weeks ago.

I need a blocklist to get rid of people who use the term “sp*rtsball.” Both those who use it directly, and those who whine about others using it. Both as bad as each other and currently clogging up my timeline. This will be my sole comment on the matter, goodnight.

Ladies and gentlemen… we got him.

Wuthering Heights (Fennell, 2026)

Instantly one of my favourite dog appearances in cinema. What a good boy.

Not to sound like an old man but yes, the 90s were pretty great.

I have three outlets. They are on Ghost, Wordpress and Beehiiv. V happy to say I do not use Substack. 🫶

Agree to disagree.

This is so incredibly kind and I adore @emilyhughes.bsky.social’s work! I’d have to recommend: @sharai.bsky.social @andrewpope.bsky.social @antbit.projectedfigures.com @xghorror.bsky.social @bavalamp.bsky.social @horrornonna.com @theneonbanshee.bsky.social @blondekwaidan.bsky.social

It’s time for the 2026 GOLDEN CLAW AWARDS! We award these every year for horror film excellence. (Adele shown for illustrative purposes only.)

I thought I’d have seen all these, but no! I have never seen SCREAM BLACULA SCREAM. I can’t just rest on my laurels at 27 out of 28, so at some point in Feb that’s getting a watch. 👀

Berlinale 2026 horror watchlist: nine films we’re excited about 👀👻📽️ #NightTideMag nighttidemag.com/2026/02/03/f...

For the attention of @theacademyusa.bsky.social 👀

I really thought the MRI Scanner from FINAL DESTINATION: BLOODLINES would ace this award. I still remember the huge cheer that went up in the audience 🗣️ (Then again, the ending of Weapons also produced a range of gasps and squeals…)

Congratulations to SINNERS, which handily routed the competition in this year’s Golden Claw Awards - seven wins, including a clean sweep of all the craft categories, a Lead Actor award for Michael B. Jordan, Best Director and Best Film.

A real rollercoaster of personal enjoyment. 📽️

A whirlwind of a day. See you at the movies 😀 www.screendaily.com/news/british...

I know I’m busy but I will moderate your Q&A (or recommend friends who live closer to do it). You don’t have to keep using the same trash goblin everyone else did. I beg!

What’s a classic movie, a real canon flick, that you were convinced you were going to enjoy and when you got to it you were like “thank you, I hate it.” ? For me, it’s FACES (Cassavetes, 1968). Absolutely mind-and-soul-numbing.
