Rafa Sales Ross@rafiews.com · 2w agoI haven’t slept a full night in three weeks ahead of the polls opening in Brazil today. I might be shouting into a void here, but if you can spare a few seconds to send good energy towards our elections today and for the largest country in South America to beat fascism, please do so. 🇧🇷

I’m so excited about seeing the new Lee Chang-dong film this weekend that I’m writing this.
The 2026 @belfastfilmfest.bsky.social programme launched last week. There are so many great films to see and I can’t wait to share them! belfastfilmfestival.org/whats-on
“The teeth of the roadkill was everything in that moment.”
The Ankler@theankler.bsky.social · 3mo agoHow did Kate O'Flynn prepare for the Sunset Cocktails party on 'Widow's Bay'? "It did just feel like a massive playground," the Emmy nominee told Katey Rich at The Ankler's Women Shaping Television luncheon - mrf.lu/2CjF_
This is a bit Bloomsbury-centric, but is every other TV drama shot in Senate House? It seems like everything has a sequence inside a marbled, mid-century government-esque building. (The University of London must make a fortune in location fees.)
Totally forgot to get a selfie with Clive Myrie today. Drat!
1. Why did I put off seeing this film? 2. Now I have to watch it again, this time not through tear-filled eyes holy shit
Why didn’t they just go with “Sugar heist”? We would have understood!

Does anyone else sometimes focus on a date so hard (eg. a deadline) that when the next day finally comes around and shows on your phone screen you feel like Bill Murray waking up to a different radio show in Groundhog Day? As in, the idea of it was previously unimaginable? Just me, then.
Everyone is sharing wonderful Udo Kier memories so here’s mine: once in Rotterdam, I was going up an escalator while he was coming down. We didn’t even lock eyes or anything. True story.
Just weighing in on the BFotY chat: ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER is (of course) great, but SIRĀT has won 2025.
I’ve only ordered one meal in Czechia so far, but I’m pretty sure they all come with a knife sticking out of them.
Great programme. Despite the revisiting and recognition of Wanda over the last 10 years or so Barbara Loden remains an enigmatic figure. What I know of her comes mostly from interviews on YT and old newspaper profiles around the release of Wanda describing her as Elia Kazan’s wife and not much else.

This is a £240 ‘art toy’ marketed to me by my oat milk subscription service. It’s Nathan Barley’s world and we’re just living in it.
