Our Edinburgh International Film Festival submissions are open until mid-April. It's going to be an incredible festival. Get on it. x.com/edfilmfest/sta…

*Totally* thrilled to announce publication dates for my book BOX OFFICE POISON.

It's a film-by-film survey of all my favourite commercial disasters since cinema began – from INTOLERANCE to CATS.

Out on Nov 5 in the USA (via Hanover Square Press) and Nov 7 in the UK (via Faber).

It’s publication day for my book SCREEN DEEP out on Faber Books ! Get it at your local independent bookshop (or here: linktr.ee/screen_deep ) Very excited to begin talking about it with readers! 📚🍿🥳

This is so wonderful! Watch it soar

Jeremy Corbyn is in SUMOTHERHOOD and says “allow it, wasteman” and I have nothing more to add

We all knew Greta Gerwig was hilarious, but her #LFF screen talk with Jesse Armstrong was like an hour of great stand-up. Cringey truths in every utterance.

“Sneak out of bed to write very very early, before the little voices tell you you’re no good. They get up later!”

Just me on holiday sorting out LFF schedule

If anyone who worked on the megaflop PAN, or the even more fabled one CATS, has stuff they're itching to get off their chest about those experiences – anonymously or otherwise – DMs are open...

Those seats eat phones! It’s a thing

Figuratively, every Michael Mann film traps its protagonist inside a very blue walk-in freezer and has them admit they’re a professional loner?

Occasionally browsing Twitter to see if it should not die, stumbling down bad faith hellholes, summoning zero enthusiasm for palliative care

I was first struck by how much Robert Downey, Jr looks like Jeremy Irons in OPPENHEIMER, then glued to him, then unexpectedly delighted he was getting so much screen time, and finally convinced he’s never been better. Absolute belter of a performance

Checking Manchester’s weather forecast more often than my emails

Three points:
1) In the trippy alternate reality where BARBIE is the product of untrammelled artistic freedom, I'm exponentially less interested in whatever else Gerwig might do. (Not the case.)
2) Selling out needn’t be permanent
3) Very few careers avoid even a hint of it
