The Omen will definitely make my ‘solid movies’ list, if I ever get around to compiling it. Much preferred it to The Exorcist, which is heresy in some circles

Someday I'll get around to making my list of standout solidly-told screen stories. The sure-footed Dante's Peak will be right in there along with Charley Varrick, the original Pelham 123, Colombiana, King Kong, Raiders, The Train...
Thank you, and also HUGE kudos to the remarkable VFX team who created some of the most amazing physical miniatures I’ve ever seen, especially for the dam break sequence. #OldSchool #Awesome www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZKe...

I always rather enjoy how Emerald Fennell clearly gives zero fucks about how other people think she should make films, and instead leans into going completely hatstand off the rails with her vision. All power to her, seriously.

“This is enough now,” a character declares, two hours into writer-director Emerald Fennell’s new Wuthering Heights. “I will not stand for this grotesque performance!” Well, you said it.

The Saint - late eighties revival starring MFI-haired Simon Dutton as Simon Templar in a series of pin man-deficient mild-mannered mysteries where someone had clearly assumed if they used the name then stuff would just happen which ITV seemed to show by accident.

News from Poland. Apparently the Americans have started circulating form letters nominating Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize - all the nation in question has to do is sign it. The Speaker of the Sejm told them to fuck off and the US Ambassador has had a meltdown.

This is superb. Ian McKellen delivers a blistering pro-immigration monologue written by Shakespeare, that makes you want to punch the air with exhilaration. Wow, wow, wow.
