according to Chloe Zhao on 'Soundtracking with Edith Bowman' she had already picked out Max Richter to compose Hamnet's score but HADN'T heard In The Nature of Daylight before???

the absolute rizz of Bill Simmons after The Big Picture agonise over 'top 25 in 25' for several weeks, Bill drops a one-off rewatchables list and swoops in with an iconic list, seizes the Film Twitter zeitgeist and steals all the thunder

first film of 2026, doing it right maybe the Great American Film of the late 20th century?

Netflix reportedly only wants to keep movies in theaters for 17 days after it buys Warner Bros “[This] would steamroll the theatrical business” — Deadline medium.com/@tomdavidson...

So long 2025! You were a terrible year for British feel-good films... tomdavidson92.medium.com/6283c17b1746

my to-watch list before I buy any more new movies in 2026

no one talking about the most perfect casting in Marty Supreme (and the real heel of the film…)

Kate Winslet admits on Roger Deakins’ excellent podcast that her first ‘intimate experiences as a young girl’ were with girls, rather than boys. How long will it take the Daily Mail to sniff it out and write it up?

anyone remember how for years an Artemis Fowl movie was stuck in development hell and then it came out during Covid and was utterly dogshit

I see Richard Osman, whose book series has been optioned by Netflix, is arguing Netflix might be purchasing Warner Bros to diversify their portfolio, just fancy that!

- Jessie Buckley - Imogen Poots - Jennifer Lawrence - Tessa Thompson - Rose Byrne - Amanda Seyfried - Chase Infiniti - Emma Stone might actually be the strongest ever best actress race

After The Hunt, Big Bold Beautiful Journey, The Smashing Machine, The Running Man and Tron: Ares all flopping:

I see Russell Crowe has slammed Gladiator 2. I got there first. tomdavidson92.medium.com/good-grief-g...

oh my fucking god I hate this shit

today I could not escape Pope Leo's tender words about 'cinema' and physical cinemas that are, sadly, a dying breed, which Netflix want to crush entirely

Warner Bros enjoyed a bumper 2025 year and now the studio has been sold off to the highest bidder in a sensational move that will upend the entire industry

Netflix has played the long game to build its power and its reputation but it would be a richer and more successful company if cinemas did not exist at all

what does this mean for theatrical releases of Warner Bros films? what does this mean for physical releases of Warner Bros films? what does this mean for the future of cinema? news.sky.com/story/netfli...

The Harry Potter TV show is still at least 13 months away from debuting? Maybe @stephenkb.bsky.social is right.

all I can say is next year's Spotify Wrapped is going to be dominated by Daniel Blumberg's score/music for The Testament of Ann Lee
