“Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies—God damn it, you've got to be kind." K.V.

I like Soderbergh, and Cate Blanchett is always great, but Wendy Ide's a little too generous here. BLACK BAG is basically OCEANS 007. Even a David Holmes score can't save it. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ma...
Black Bag review – glossy Steven Soderbergh spy thriller is less Slow Horses, more show pony
Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett head a starry cast to match the luxurious production design, but the director’s espionage yarn could do with some grit

NEW: In November, I wrote a Guardian column headlined 'How to Survive the Broligarchy'. Pretty much everything predicted has now come true. What I'm launching today is part handbook, how to protect ourselves? And part manifesto, how to fight back? Please join me.

How to Survive the Broligarchy
Three months ago, I warned we were entering the age of technoauthoritarianism. It's now here. We can and must fight back.

Beyond sad.

No other filmmaker had such a profound effect on me as David Lynch.

The world of cinema was always so much more interesting because of him.

What an incredible body of work he leaves for us.

The evidence (er scientific facts) has been building for decades: what will it take for humankind to really wake up to this crisis? #climateemergency
Hopes of keeping global warming below 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels have been all but extinguished after new data confirms 2024 was the first calendar year to see average temperatures above that critical threshold.

The way Christmas peters out in the UK is so disappointing: celebrating the Epiphany, like Italians, brings a sprinkle of joy, especially when the post holiday blues are kicking in, and brings the season to a nicer close.
Buon' Epifania a tutti!
Buona Befana!

Thank you #FilmSky for keeping me sane in the last few days of completing my Master's assignments: I haven't been able to think about much else for weeks.

Now they're in, I can reenter the world. Oh blimey, it's nearly Christmas - better get myself a tree!!
