Finished my rewatch of Oslo, 31st August, I think my fifth viewing. It really is a miracle of a film. I love Worst Person in the World and Sentimental Value but I don't think he's ever surpassed this. Do you know how mad it is to remake The Fire Within and somehow completely eclipse it?

The good thing about working in the arts in 2026 is you said goodbye to your dignity at least a decade ago, so here I am outright asking you to consider voting for THE DEFINITIONS if you liked it and are in a position to.
Nominations are now open for the 2026 Hugo Awards!
Emails are going out to eligible nominators (those who became a member of LAcon V by January 31, 2026, or were a member of the Seattle Worldcon 2025) about how to set up their LAcon V virtual convention account.

I've listened back to this because I am, despite everything, very vain, and I'm pleased to see I've gone in two-footed on Jeff Bezos and JK Rowling. Come for that, stay for me having a surprising amount of fun talking about craft and process.

I usually mildly to strongly dislike talking about my work but last year I got to go on one of my favourite shows and I had a lovely, lovely time nationalcentreforwriting.org.uk/get-involved...

The thing about getting an ASD diagnosis for your 9-year-old after a two year wait is it's a lot like a fireman telling you your house is on fire: you're grateful for the expert opinion but it isn't primarily a diagnostic problem.

Completely agree. If it had gone full farce I'd have been disappointed with the direction but would've respected the choice.

To be clear, I don't walk out a film easily. It has to be completely irredeemable. I know a lot of people will be eager to see this (we all love The Handmaiden and Oldboy, right?) but I urge caution. This really ain't it

Every scene feels like a transition. Nothing (geography, architecture) is established. And yet the film wastes forty minutes artlessly trying to establish its own premise. At one point it pokes fun at Netflix but on a dialogue level this is archetypal second screen content

In a minority on this one it seems but, for a film that supposedly tackles a downsizing epidemic supercharged by the adoption of AI, its complete lack of texture and discernible human insight really is almost impressive
