I don't mean to be negative but I don't think they can deliver on this poster.
Someone who knows comics can probably find some gems in this pile at Deptford junk market today.
Some pictures from #TheWesties premiere the other night for MGM+, which was an absolute blast. The cast - including JK Simmons and Titus Welliver - were immense fun, and actor Jessica Frances Dukes and I both sequin-matched so that's a win.
Ok, then you might need to wait for an edit, my apologies. By way of compensation please accept this photo of them at SXSW London.
I hate to be basic, and I'm not sure if it's appropriate to say this during Pride month as a straight woman, but I just love the D.
I saw Minas Tirith in person yesterday and I need a bigger house and more money, stat.
I was *not* prepared for how funny Teenage Sex And Death At Camp Miasma would be, but it's terrific. A highlight of #SXSWLondon this week, and a great Q&A afterwards by Anna Bogutskaya.
There was some controversy about the Miranda tasseled jacket in The Devil Wears Prada 2, but personally I have decided it's definitely a witty classical reference to the goddess Athena mustering the Greek troops in The Iliad.
Happy New Dungeon Crawler Carl Day to all who celebrate. Productivity dropping in 3, 2,...
There is a lot to say about the new movie #Michael. This begins to touch on some of what's wrong about it. But I think it's a reprehensible movie and the world is worse for its existence. Not just because of all the stuff it doesn't touch on, but because it feels so deeply cynical.
Terrible creep shot but astonishing look. Everyone was so creative and the vibes were so good.
Forgive the poor screen grab but I might need this excellent tote from Smiley's People, currently on iPlayer. The style! The swagger!
Hey fellow Irish people, Dior has realised we exist and made some (cute!) festive bits for St Patrick's Day. Only £2000 for the shirt and £3300 for the jacket, but can you put a price on celebration.

Merry Christmas y'all! We've walked on the beach and some of the family jumped in the water, and mulled apple juice, and now we're introducing small niece and nephew to The Wizard of Oz.
At the #WickedForGood premiere and it was incredibly stressful to get into but there's Fizzafying Popcorn so that may soothe me.
Small nephew watching E.T. for the first time. "I'd scream and run away. I'd call the scientists and tell them to come and get him."
Rainbow this morning at dawn. Taking this as a good omen for the day of my first London Film Festival screening.
Haunted by the fit of this bikini on Sydney Sweeney in Anyone But You (pic via @filmvsbook.bsky.social). Like, is a conscious choice to show that her character doesn't know her bra size? Is it a style common nowadays among the youngs? Could it be *comfortable*? I can't see how.
Thanks to everyone who came out to the #EmpirePodcastLive last night in London; it was an absolute blast to talk Ballad of Wallis Island with its stars / writers and to see you all.
Two people to take the Ring to Mordor? I can't explain it but they would manage.
Ok, but the product is not a liquid and not an IV so I'll be honest, I think we could have come up with a better name here.
Here's the before and after of my visit to Waterstones Gower Street yesterday. I apologise if you were hoping for an unsigned 50 Film Ideas You Really Need To Know or Women Vs Hollywood or Quentin Tarantino Dictionary.
Tell me I'm not the only one who misread the name of this toy as a weird adverb.
I went to see #Evita tonight and Rachel Zegler is sufficiently excellent that I feel confident she will soon shake off the dust of Snow White, reputationally speaking.
