Nice (nerdy!) treat with my son last night after his A-Levels: #Supergirl Fan Event, Leicester Square. Blue Carpet, 30 mins of the film, Q&A with cast and crew. #Momoa. 10 metres away. Oh my. Best bit: watching him get his Funko signed. Memories forever. #prouddad #dc #supergirlfanevent
There aren’t many films that I’ve actually broken down into a literal flood of tears over. I’d heard that it’s happening a fair bit during Hamnet, and Max Richters score is certainly a huge part of it for me. This is a nice insight into how he was involved closely theankler.com/p/hes-the-re...

Composer Max Richter tells me about scoring the year’s most heartbreaking scene and how his Iraq War protest song became an indelible emotional anthem

The only piece of direct marketing I’ve had from John Lewis (that I can remember), suggesting a new television. Sent to the same email address I used to buy a (bargain) television only a few months ago…

Had an entire screen at Vue to myself last night. I wouldn’t have had it any other way! Watched @edgarwright.bsky.social’s Last Night in Soho. Late to the party on this but what a film! Beautiful shots of London, amazing recreation of the 60s and a cracking story to go with it.
This is one of those moments where I'm able to say "THIS IS MY TIME TO SHINE" and it has a double meaning 🧑🦲
"Some precious Duolingo streaks could be lost unless the internet outage is fixed before the end of the day." Can you imagine Duolingo allowing that to happen?

This would seem like a perfect time for me to become "Britian" If I had any interest in: - Being an influencer - Becoming my own "brand" - Starting my own political party - Having a series of Christmas No 1's and associated merchandise involving chocolate bars www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Watched No Time to Die last night, enjoyed it a lot more than out initial cinema outing. Most enjoyable was the John Barry / Louie Armstrong throwbacks and the (can you call it) reverse parallel (?) to On Her Majesty’s Secret Service with the ending. Need to look up M’s quote he took from a book

Kingfishers still farting about at Blashford. This isn’t a cardboard cut out of one, once I tried to slowly open the window of the hide it did a runner…
On Friday I had a brilliant time at the BFI Southbank watching two films involving the @petshopboys.co.uk The wonderfully surreal ‘it couldn’t happen here’ followed by a Q&A with Neil Tennant who sat with us to watch the premiere of the ‘Battleship Potemkin’ remaster synced to the PSB score!
Been hanging around the local lake looking for kingfisher juveniles, they’re quite frequent at the moment but I’ve struggled to get good photos. Lovely to watch though 😊
I’ve drawn out watching Andor for months and watched the final episode today, it’s been such a good show - need more quality like this please!
Finished the second season of Star Trek: Prodigy today, shame there’s no plans for a third. A worthy successor to Voyager, proper good Trek and great cast. Fingers crossed someone picks this up…
We had a bat in the house! I can now add ‘careful bat removal’ to my skills list… Can you do that AI?
