It's 5am, it's dark, and I'm starting the day as god intended humans to live: sending invoices to national newspapers who have been using London Centric pictures and video without permission.

A tale of two movies:
Similar deal structures. Similar budgets.
One made $45M from 3300 screens, post pandemic, and won the weekend.
The other made $41M from 3600 screens pre-pandemic, and placed second.
And yet this is the coverage.

Legitimately the worst actress working right now. And then there's all the other stuff. Just discard her wholesale.
Gal Gadot speaks after receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame:
"I'm just a girl from a town in Israel. […] This star will remind me that with hard work and passion and some faith, anything is possible."

Is Netflix really claiming to be the first to host a celebrity talking show? Or has my reading comprehension disappeared after 2 months of almost unbelievable headlines?

On #InternationalWomensDay, I’m thinking of how any work/world experience men have means “authority” & any rich & varied experience women have is met w/ skepticism. & how the few spots available to us means we are forced into an unfair/ageist competition against ourselves. Fuck the patriarchy.

This year's Anoralist Oscars turn out to have drawn a larger audience than last year's Barbenheimer Oscars, so maybe we can finally put to rest the idea that the popularity of the movies in the race has any correlation to interest in the show?

Christmas movie tip. If you watch Die Hard straight after Love Actually, Alan Rickman will be punished for what he did to Emma Thompson.

Eight years ago today @willdalrymple.bsky.social and I launched our Kohinoor book … not quite the actual start of a beautiful friendship… friends before that … but a partnership that has brought @empirepoduk.bsky.social into the world. Thank you all for listening to our prattle! We appreciate you!
