It's almost a month into 2025 and I've seen the first great UK release of the year. The Brutalist is an audacious and yes, monumental, cinematic achievement that makes the case for Cinema with a capital C. Go see it on the biggest screen you can find.

At times like these it can be therapeutic to dive back into things that bring you comfort and joy. For me, it's Key and Peele's college football names sketches. These never fail to make me laugh, especially the name "Cartoons Plural" which lives in my brain rent free.

saw someone on here say that Heat would be the best action movie of all time "if only it were a tight 93 minutes." and you know what. I'm letting myself get a little bit mad at this silly shit tonight, as a treat.

Hitting BFI Southbank this weekend for their Visconti season with @lindsayhallam.bsky.social. I have only ever seen The Leopard so I am really keen to see these renowned classics for the first time on the big screen.

Oh this is terrific. When a Q&A becomes a 10-minute writing masterclass.
YEARS ago I was at a TV event in Austin. there was a big West Wing event. I got to weasel my way in. They happen to put the Q & A microphone right in front of my seat. I got to ask the question I always wanted to ask Sorkin. I got an almost 10 minute answer. youtu.be/9Re21y9wtbA?...
i met the cast and creator of the west wing, i asked a question, and got a ten minute answer.
