Wes Anderson: The Archives is absolutely worth a visit if you’re a fan of his films. It’s incredible just how much detail goes into his movies, it’s fantastic seeing how well preserved everything is.

#RentalFamily is cute, sentimental and you can spot the ending coming a mile off but damn if this movie doesn’t have a lot of heart. It explores some of the knottier aspects of Japanese culture in a way that doesn’t pass judgement, using them as plot mechanism instead. Brendan Fraser is superb. #LFF

#Wakeupdeadman might be Benoit Blanc’s finest outing yet. Darker and more layered that its predecessors @rianjohnson.bsky.social turns his attention to the online weaponisation of faith in a way I found enthralling, all whilst wrapping the plot in the trapping a of a gorgeous gothic mystery. #LFF

Richard Linklater’s #NouvelleVague is a celebration of the messiness of the creative process, it’s one of those movies only he could direct. The cast is fantastic, all charm personified.
I just want to sit in the dark, watch movies in my sunglasses and smoke, all whilst fabulously dressed. #LFF.

#Frankenstein is a big beautiful gothic horror delivered in a way that only @realgdt.bsky.social can, he makes the world feel alive. Issac makes for a wonderfully unhinged Victor Frankenstein but the movie belongs to Elordi who tackles one of the most iconic characters ever and makes it his own #LFF

@noclipvideo.bsky.social it’s only small but the London Film Festival is hosting an Indie Games Lounge at the BFI IMAX in London. It’s not been massively advertised but thought your London audience might want to check it out.

I’m more an Invader fan than I am of Hirst or Fairey but I quite enjoyed their collab, Triple Trouble which is on display at Hirsts Newport Street Gallery. Invaders work is better seen in the street but this is a great way to see a bunch of it in one place.

So happy that my favourite cinema, the Odyssey in St. Albans is showing Harakiri, the top rated narrative feature film on @letterboxd.social. Never seen the movie before so I’m overjoyed that I get to tick it off the list and support an independent cinema at the same time.

Finally kicked off the @ldnloop-capring.bsky.social this morning, a very windy 9 mile walk from Erith to Bexley with @gojauntly.bsky.social as my trusty guide. Hard to believe some of this scenery is still technically in London, gorgeous stuff. Looking forward to getting stuck in now.

Stranger Things: The First Shadow absolutely blew my mind, how they achieved some of things they put on stage is astounding. If you’re not a fan of Stranger Things, it’s not going to convert you but if you are then it’s a thrilling addition to the series cannon.

Fantasic 4 is my favourite Marvel flick in a while. Perfect casting, great world building and some gorgeous production design that's let down by some ropey CGI that’s sub-par even for Marvel. The focus on kindness and hopefulness is a welcome addition to the MCU. Herbie deserves all the scritches.

The Cinema Museum is an absolute must visit if you’re a fan of film, London & the history of film in London. It’s an absolute treasure trove celebrating the rich history of picture houses that used to cover the capital, at one stage Elephant & Castle alone had over 40 cinemas in it.

Amazing day getting reacquainted with Copenhagen after a decade away. When I say reacquainted, what I mean is visiting all of the Mikkeller beer locations that have opened since the last time I was here. Such a great city to hang out in for a few days, as the kids would say, the vibes are on point.

I think of Paris as my second home, getting to visit a couple of times a year is therapy to me. Like London, it’s a city I’ll never fully understand or get bored of but that’s kind of the point. I loved @simonkuper.bsky.social Impossible City, he captures my feelings on the city of light perfectly.

Finally got to see the stage adaptation of My Neighbour Totoro yesterday and absolutely adored it. The production values were incredible, the way they brought Totoro and the forest sprites to life was astounding. If you need a pick me up, I can’t recommended checking this out highly enough.

Outstanding evening at the gorgeous Union Chapel for @pattonoswalt.bsky.social. Haven’t had the pleasure of seeing him live since 2019 and he didn’t disappoint, I really hope he doesn’t leave so long until his next visit. His bit about choosing money or a life well lived really hit home.

Hiroshige, artist of the open road is gorgeous exhibit celebrating the stunning scenery of my home away from home. Well worth paying the British Museum a visit to check it out.

#Sinners is an absolute certified banger and hopped straight to the top of my favourite movies this year. Coogler is operating on another level directing his own original script and Jordan does fantastic work pulling double duty as twins bringing nuance and depth to both. See it on the big screen.

Fantastic set by @kumail.bsky.social at the Leicester Square Theatre tonight. His story about his geriatric cat actually being his baby hit me hard, I too have older cat who will always be my baby and I won’t hear otherwise. And remember, shit’s fucked up right now but you’re going to be ok.

I had the same feeling when I walked the Capital Ring. Can't recommend the walk enough if you want to explore another side of London, need to get cracking with the Thames Path & London Loop next!
Nice little article about the #CapitalRing in The Independent- and nice to have a mention for our project to improve and maintain the route.

After 20 years, I thought I knew London – then I walked the Capital Ring
Spring in the air, and London is calling – not by Tube, but on foot. Jessica Furseth explores a 78-mile circular walking route and finds a surprisingly wild, wonderfully weird and deeply revealing way...

If you’re remotely interested in the growth of active travel and cycling, I can’t recommended David Byrnes (of Talking Heads fame) book, Bicycle Diaries highly enough. A beautiful rumination of the benefits of cycling and the observations you get to make along the way.

Black Bag is the smartest, sexiest and coolest movie of the year. The cast is superb, it's a group of people I’d happily watch playing off of each other plenty more times. I would very much like to live in Cate Blanchett & Michael Fassbenders house, it gorgeous. That David Holmes score, exquisite!

Delightful evening at the gorgeous Union Chapel to see The Decemberists’ @colinmeloy.bsky.social perform last night. Couldn’t think of a more appropriate venue to see him perform some folksy, wistful & hopeful songs. I really do hope I get to see The Decemberists live again soon, it’s been too long.
