Babygirl will mark Nicole Kidman’s return to Venice Film Festival after exactly 20 years, since 2004’s Birth - arguably her best performance to date. It’s a sign 😈

they can bus all far right loyalist patriots into Belfast all the want, they’ll still be outnumbered, outsang, and outclassed every day of the week solidarity to everyone who turned up with 48 hours notice, and to Mick Lynch for his gorgeous wee baldy head

Today the people of Belfast outnumbered the fascists who hid their faces by 5 to 1. This is our city, it is welcome to all.

Any Irish person who brought their Irish flag to protest Immigration in Belfast in accompaniment of Loyalist gangs are traitors to Ireland and the furthest thing from patriots.

Nicole Kidman in “To die for”

The sooner men like him, from his generation in Northern Ireland, shuffles off this mortal coil, the better. Bitterly hate-filled, devoid of any real humanity, and profoundly stupid.

the gay gasp I just let out

WITH ENOUGH DWARVES TO FILL THE NILE

Letterboxd vibe check

Kidman getting Birth-level raves at Venice for Babygirl, twenty years after the former film was savaged at the festival. This is some sweet sweet cosmic justice, which will only be complete if (when) she gets the Oscar nom for this one 🙏🏼🕯️

The Nightbitch trailer…

And the #LFF planning begins, with the master spreadsheet of doom 🎬

I am her, and she is me

A smooth #LFF ticketing system this year, I managed to get almost all 27 films on my list for the fest 🎬 Heavy-hitters like Queer, Anora, Hard Truths, Nickel Boys, Maria. Festival favourites too, including Fréwaka, Black Box Diaries, Viet and Nam, Sujo, Ghost Trail + many more!

Seeing Steve McQueen’s Hunger again, for the first time in 15 years, at BFI no less, was a very special experience. A monumental film, nevermind a directorial debut. Michael Fassbender astonishing, the film around him harrowing and undeniable. An all-timer, it’s unshakeable.

This was such a special one, an absolute joy and privilege to work on the Season 3 trailer as Producer 🍂 Y’all aren’t ready for this next chapter of Heartstopper 😭🥹
