All about Paudie’s perpetual poker face. Lad could go the distance. #TraitorsIRL

Kudos to Mike Figgis for just calling the Megalopolis documentary Megadoc. Elegance.

LMAO Google’s audience review summaries have achieved the rare feat of being more useless than the audience reviews themselves

One of my favourite things about classic Hong Kong martial arts films is that the end title often pops up around 10 seconds after the central conflict or fight is resolved. Under-appreciated cinematic storytelling philosophy IMO.

Curious about how many millions (or hundreds of thousands) it took Mullvad VPN - a company I don’t think I’ve ever heard of before - to blanket Dublin City in ads. The VPN ads have broken podcast containment.

“The Sex and the City universe” is one of the stupidest phrases I’ve heard in a minute

Tired: Donkey Kong Bananza is a natural follow-up to the Mario Odyssey design philosophy

Wired: Donkey Kong Bananza is Nintendo’s tribute to Cave’s bullet hell shooters and Crackdown (2007

Rachel Zegler RULES and so obviously has a lifetime of incredible roles & performances ahead of her. can’t wait to see them.

Got to see the electrifying new production of THE SEAGULL @BarbicanCentre. A rare treat getting to see an ensemble cast of this calibre - Blanchett, Burke, Smit-McPhee, Corrin… - perform together live on stage. Every performance adds welcome perspective and nuance to the text.

I admire Bong Joon-ho’s commitment to stubbornly bisecting his career between ‘Korean arthouse bangers’ and ‘chaotic big budget satires’. I enjoy both modes, and thus I very much enjoyed Mickey 17 in all its messiness.

A rare case of waking up to find out the Oscar winners and thinking ‘oh the winners are mostly not terrible’. Anora, Madison, Baker, Brody, Flow, No Other Land… good bunch of lads. #Oscars2025

James Joyce 🤝 Bong Joon-ho

Ah man, Gene Hackman. Obviously in some of the Greatest Films Ever Made, but also the kind of performer who could elevate all kinds of otherwise middling material. A legend.

*the Washington Post headline montage at the end of All The President's Men, but instead of 'tapes show Nixon approved cover-up' it's 'why big tax cuts for billionaires are a step in the right direction'*

Was randomly scrolling Prime last night and discover Takeshi Kitano had a new film on there called Broken Rage. It’s 60 minutes and good, clean yakuza fun, where the last 30 minutes wackily rip the piss out of the first 30 minutes. Very Kitano.

So much for a quick lunchtime peak at Elden Ring Nightreign. Sunday it is (hopefully)
