Also some of the wildest credits billing of 2025. William H Macy is in one scene and is second billed - wasn’t even aware he was going to be in it!

Review of The Running Man coming later this week, but I have to say: wild that Josh Brolin is playing Paramount CEO David Ellison in this

Absolutely enraptured by Die My Love, and can’t believe nobody has mentioned this as being the second part of a ‘Jennifer Lawrence + broken sink’ series. Need to close out that trilogy!

Odd to see the take this article puts forward get so much backlash in the quotes and replies, when it’s obvious from spending even a few mins on here that the non PTA front runner would always be the season’s biggest villain, and quietly has already been coronated as one
Chloe Zhao’s ‘Hamnet’ is emotional, feminine, directed by an Oscar winner. But it’s also not Sinners or One Battle After Another. Here’s why it’s looking like the year’s first Oscars villain.

Have tried, but I just can’t for the life of me picture what a surreal David Lynch movie would look like. Is such a thing even possible?

Had a wonderful chat with the queen Brenda Blethyn and Paul Andrew Williams about their new genre-defying loneliness epidemic tale DRAGONFLY, which arrives in UK cinemas today! Read here >>>
Brenda Blethyn was ready to take a break from acting after Vera - and then the script for DRAGONFLY turned up. As it arrives in UK cinemas through @ConicFilm, we sat down with Brenda and director Paul Andrew Williams to talk this genre-bending story >>> https://t.co/APUu9HcRJK

Admittedly funny that this shares a title with another movie about a pedophile
The #MichaelJackson biopic gets an official trailer as the King of Pop moonwalks, performs "Thriller" and more. The icon's nephew, Jaafar Jackson, stars in the title role alongside Colman Domingo and Nia Long. #Michael opens in theaters April 24, 2026. https://t.co/3q4IWlYA8k

one of the boldest 2026 predictions I've heard so far in the office just now: Jamiroquai are about to have an Oasis level cultural renaissance. This is based entirely on them seeing 2 separate people dressed as JK at a comic con last month

Not surpised Cuomo lost. It wasn't necessarily illegal what he did but it was really weird to say that about an 18 year old Japanese girl on your highly anticipated sophmore album

We don’t get as many new Esmé pieces as we should, and this *will* make you demand she writes more - incredible stuff as always @esmesayss:
"Every time I write about Ed Wood it hurts. Not because of the extremely personal content of the work, but because after a sentence or two, no matter how much I try to avoid it, I’m going to have to use a pronoun." For @LWLies

Announcing this the same day American voters decided they want woke back… masterful gambit sir
David Ellison, Hollywood’s first millennial mogul, wants to rewrite the industry’s DNA, building an alpha-male-skewing empire that some fear will entwine the studio’s content more closely with MAGA messaging. “It’s the Wild West, and these are the new cowboys,” says producer Jon

Great, foolproof plan by David Ellison to make Paramount the biggest Hollywood studio here. Step 1: blacklist half of Hollywood Step 2: make dogshit slop that will be ignored by international audiences to try and appease people who think Hollywood is run by Satanic nonces
Paramount has created a blacklist for stars they deem too “overtly antisemitic” (via @Variety) https://t.co/UvHvMsgbGl

Had fun with #PredatorBadlands, a movie that on paper sounds like a grumpy middle aged man’s joke pitch for a ‘woke predator’ movie (a Predator learns empathy from a girl robot!) that works better than it should. Mostly. My @looper review: https://t.co/hnesyRj61E

today's woke dogs would rather sit at home complaining about fireworks 🙄 the only 'space' they'd go to would be a safe space
68 years ago today, Laika the dog was launched into space by the Soviet Union to become the first animal to orbit the Earth. No plans were made for her return and she died a few hours later due to overheating and stress.

spoke to Dan Trachtenberg about making a family friendly Predator, the advice he got from James Cameron before shooting, and everything else Badlands over on Zavvi:

Just once I wish someone would say “the sex scenes stop the narrative dead but who cares they’re fun”
#BIFA nominee Harry Melling on how his sex scenes with Alexander Skarsgård in ‘Pillion’ are not just “sexy scenes” but actually “push the narrative along,” which is what compelled him about the script
