Loved the performances - hated the direction. Danny Boyle’s Ink is an odd film. Quite the choice to frame Rupert Murdoch as the one being corrupted! www.bina007.com/2026/09/ink.... #lff #filmsky

Rosalind Eleazer is amazing as Misty Green - self-destructive Hollywood actor trying to avoid eviction. But Chris Rock’s script - while admirably showing the dark side of LA - is not without its flaws www.bina007.com/2026/10/yach... #lff #bluesky

Ink upended my expectations insofar as it’s not evil bastard Rupert Murdoch corrupting Britain but Sun editor Larry Lamb doing the corrupting. That said it’s a pretty talky stagey film and Danny Boyle compensates by using weird off kilter camera angles. Mate! It’s still a stage play. #lff #filmsky

Direction more mediocre as one would expect - no Fincher stylings - but that’s fine - this isn’t a movie that needs visual flair but moral skewering and real political and emotional stakes. We get those in spades. #TheSocialReckoning

Bina007 @bina007.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Ok so now we can comment - The Social Reckoning - super classic Sorkin script - prologue outstanding. Superb performances. Mikey Madison amazing in the anti Anora role, Jeremy Strong chilling - loved Bill Burr as the Righteous Anger Sorkin Avatar.

B007 Ep 215 - Christopher Nolan's Odysseus reviewed

Bina007 @bina007.bsky.social · 17/07/2026
Anyway, I was ultimately content because a lot of the weight of that scene in the poem transfers to Elliot Page as Sinon. Sam Morton is rightly getting a lot of love as Circe but EP is equally inpactful in his pivotal scene.
000
Bina007 @bina007.bsky.social · 17/07/2026
At first I was pissed off we didn’t get Odysseus meeting Achilles in Hades as that’s the most moving part of the poem for me, and also interrogates and subverts the idea of heroism from The Illiad. I *think* what Nolan is doing is transferring that to Odysseus in a Rambo First Blood kind of a way.

One day there will be an epic drinking game where you take a shot every time someone says Zeus’s’ Law. That BS concept did a LOT of heavy lifting in this flick. #odyssey

I also believe that when you massacre people in an enclosed hall you get blood everywhere. Shame he didn’t care to honour the actual text. Ah well. Loved Sam Morton (also anachronistic in her rage), RPatt and Elliot Page and Agamemnon’s armour. Otherwise a very flat, bloodless and sexless film.

Pro-tip to Chris Nolan: people in the Bronze Age didn’t refer to themselves as being in the Bronze Age. Also I don’t think Helen of Troy and Penelope were proto-feminists. Nor do I believe Odysseus had PTSD or that the ancient world had a Reform Party suspicion of small boats. #theodyssey

Well I thoroughly enjoyed Rosebush Pruning! A nasty hilarious little indie film - if Lanthimos did Saltburn. Opinions vary - my mate called it Aldi Lanthimos! Super performances, soundtrack, style. The one line about Dover Street Market is the funniest shit I’ve heard in the cinema in years.

That’s the problem with populist right and left - they bury their heads in the sand and want to go back to some idyllic pre times that never existed. It’s a cop out. NOTHING about Europe in it. Nothing about solving productivity issues. Nothing about getting the young into work.

Reading Andy Burnham’s programme seems like he just wants to take us back to 1955 - manufacturing jobs and building council houses. There’s nothing about modern challenges - AI, social media regulation, climate change, payday loans and consumer credit. It feels so very retro.
