Cinco de Mayo round these parts. Hard to tell my mezcal from my tequila by now.

Cold in London, so there's still hope winter fans.

There were blue skies in my city today... Under the Westway.

Feast of the Seven Fishes. A pretty good tradition to be co-opted into.

A fine and close year for the #TurnerPrize.
For me, it's a tie between Pio Abad's emotional and layered interrogation of Western narrative and Delaine Le Bas's journey through a sprawling psychic landscape

Trapped* in the damp and haunted corridors of Theatre Royal Drury Lane today.

*i.e. Dawdled. Highly recommend the very entertaining tour!

Just caught (very belatedly) Immortal Beloved - another distinctive Bernard Rose picture to add to the list. There's an irresistible, soft and melancholy romanticism running through his films it took me far too long to fully appreciate - eagerly await Lear, Rex.

Uplifting afternoon listening to this great dude talk death, Pinocchio, death, Frankenstein and death yesterday. As ever, one of cinema's great ambassadors.

Smugus maximus about today's double-bill.

Julius Caesar (1953)
Alien Romulus (2024)

Nailed (back-stabbed, face-hugged) it.

As Wolverine's finally picked up his $1 billion nest egg, it's a great time to pick up the latest issue of Filmhounds Magazine.

As ever, it's a brilliant run through current cinema, and I wrote on the Age of Antiheroes in comic book movies (and why its best-by date may be looming).

Had one of the finest times in years at the Tate Modern today, courtesy of Kandinsky, Münter and the Blue Rider.
