Calling a biopic of a real person an "origin story" is another sign our culture is in deep decline. Talking about everything in comic book movie terms. #filmsky
According to IMDB, Chris Nolan has now made 7 of the top 77 films of all time, including 3 of the top 17. Of. All. Time. Even the biggest Nolan head must think that is preposterous? The Dark Knight Rises is #77. Higher than Amadeus, Lawrence of Arabia, 2001, Vertigo and Citizen Kane. #filmsky
We really are in a TV comedy crisis. These are the 2026 Emmy nominees. Some of these are outright dramas with some funny bits. Season 1 of The West Wing is funnier than at least 3 of these shows. #tvsky
The #heatedrivalry fans on twitter are seriously unwell. I feel sorry for those 2 actors being stalked every minute of the day.
Depressing to see Marvel hoovering up some of the best young actors around. Gen Z pandering aside... How many great parts will these people have to turn down because they're doing a month of reshoots in The Volume? And look how they fucked over Mahershala Ali. #filmsky
People are surprised cockney spiv Harry Redknapp is a thicko racist? Really?

First Minton Tiles reveal in a few years. Always a delight getting to see these. Well worth checking out if you're in the area. liverpoolcityhalls.co.uk/home/minton-... #liverpool #stgeorgeshall #historysky
Too many people on the left are using the word "slop" as excessively and tediously as the right use "woke". It's almost reaching MUTE status on here.
variety.com/2026/film/ne... The dumbing down of film culture continues. This article talks about a "cinematic universe" where it isn't even relevant. It's a FILMOGRAPHY. Marvel has broken so many people's brains. #filmsky
Lee Richardson, who did the narration in Sidney Lumet's "Network".
You suddenly get a narrator describing your life and there’s no way to turn it off - everyone can hear it. While shopping, at work, at home, with friends - the voice narrating your every move goes on. Who do you hope is the voice of this narrator?
Another fabulous @cbbworld.bsky.social tour show. Wish I could have done Leeds as well now. Come back again soon, Gents.
There's something seriously wrong with a lot of male English football fans.
Guy Ritchie could toil away for another 100 years and never make a gangster film better than The Long Good Friday. #filmsky
Seems like people's views on historical accuracy and appropriate casting in a film depend largely on whether or not they like the film-maker. It's not a very consistent approach. #filmsky
