Oscar Isaac says he is open to returning to STAR WARS but is doubtful about Disney after they suspended Jimmy Kimmel.

“I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great”

Started watching #AllHerFault. It’s good so far - gripping stuff.

Sara Snook and Dakota Fanning are excellent.

It's been a mad week at work so, just for the sheer comfort of it, I'll be watching Once this weekend.

Every aspect of this film just works, but Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová are perfect in the lead roles.

An absolute master of his craft, Laurence Fishburne always brings intelligence, dignity and authenticity.
Whether going big or being more restrained, he is excellent at grounding scenes - often elevating his colleagues.
