Dont get me wrong, I thought The Invite was excellent. But if it said "Directed by Seth Rogan" at the end, NOBODY would be saying he should be nominated for Best Director at the Oscars. In fact, I haven't seen anyone actually explain why Olivia Wilde should be, other than she's a woman. #filmsky

Must suck to be a successful actor but then get taken to the cleaners in an expensive divorce and have to make 8 films a year to make up for it. #filmsky

You couldn't get Gen Z to watch the perfectly good 50s East of Eden film, but stick some modern expensive adaptation on Netflix and they'll all tune in. Bit depressing. #filmsky #tvsky

So the real reason for the absolute *plague* of filming the cinema screen seems to be making memes on opening weekend. We've lost cinema etiquette for the stupidest and most childish people alive. #filmsky #moviesky

I dont think we're in a literacy crisis. I think we're in a hyperbole crisis. Everything is "iconic" Everything is "peak" Everything is "absolute cinema" Everything is "generational" Everyone is "the goat" No nuance. No middle road. #filmsky #moviesky

Mr Brightside is a shit song, sorry. The lyrics are just gibberish (like almost every Killers song). The 2 verses are the same. The song is really about nothing. But 40 year old pissheads love singing it at karaoke, so its achieved an elevated status. #musicsky

Awful adaptation of a great book. Padded out with nonsense. Too scared to be truly queer. Badly cast. Awfully acted. Utterly pointless overall. Ending with a cliffhanger for something that should have been 6 episodes? Fuck off. #tvsky #theshards

*new movie comes out* Under 30s on Film twitter: "What does this mean for the oscar race?" A really surprising and dismal way to engage with film. And the whole "stan culture" thing is making it toxic and obnoxious too. #filmsky

Pointing out that Thatcher fucked this country and we're still paying for it now is NOT "living in the past". We sold everything then and we're skint and ripped off now directly because of her. Badenoch just doesn't want that conversation. #fuckthetories #pmqs #andyburnham

2484 people think this is a good comment. It's the top review for this film. Why? It's completely useless. Letterboxd needs to remove the 'like' feature on reviews to stop these idiots going viral. #filmsky #letterboxd #moviesky

This is a genuinely dreadful adaptation of what was an excellent novel. Some of the casting choices are shockingly bad. The lead actor has an annoying voice but I can't tell if it's a choice And it doesnt have the balls to be as gay as the book. #tvsky #theshards

Can anyone recommend a good book about the Nuremburg trials? Sonething well written, detailed but "easy" to read. Looking online there seem to be a lot that give off AI vibes or are weirdly and incredibly short. #booksky

If people think this Clavicular guy is a cunt, why have so many people immediately just adopted his moronic way of speaking? I've had to mute "maxxxing" because I'm sick of seeing it.

Cinema tickets DO NOT need to go on sale 6, 8, 10 months in advance. Literally no justification. Universal set such a disgusting example doing that for The Odyssey, all these other twats are now following suit. #filmsky

This new X-Men cast is too "What actors do GenZ know? Hire them!" for me. Prof X is 40. Who will Magneto be? And what will his inciting incident be? His dial-up modem breaking down in the late 90s? #filmsky #xmen

Not only do I not like AI, I dont really know how to use it. I dont really know what chatgpt is. App? Website? I have literally no curiosity to try. Nothing about it interests me. And it's great to know it's not just an age thing either. #ai

My favourite part of the MCU multiverse is how the different timelines are named. The theory is based on the idea that every decision that could have been made *was* made. Literally quadrillions of possible alternate universes. But instead we get like Earth 212 and Earth 538. #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
