When Ukraine destroys Russian data centers, hoards of aggressive right-wing bots disappear & the internet becomes friendlier. So much of politics is driven by the internet & so much of the internet is driven by Russians who want to hurt us. Shouldn’t we do something about that, given that we know it

‘Politics is pervasive. Everything is political and the choice to be ‘apolitical’ is usually just an endorsement of the status quo and the unexamined life.’ - Rebecca Solnit

I started Oxford, but never finished- I left early on. I wanted to make movies. A big gamble for a working class brown boy. Through sheer dumb luck -and certainly not through foresight and planning- I soon ended up a runner at Jeremy Thomas’ Record Picture Company.

Paul Dano is amazing in THE FABELMANS, truly tragic and sad but full of love for his family. Also, Dano is INCREDIBLE in THERE WILL BE BLOOD. He does exactly what the role requires and goes beyond. Finally, Dano brings real relatability and empathy in SWISS ARMY MAN. Paul Dano - great actor.

From Rocky Horror to the Muppets, Curry’s extraordinary career made him world-famous. Then, a stroke left him paralysed. The actor talks about his cocaine years, his friendship with David Bowie – and the moment his mother came at him with a knife

When you get to test drive your latest film on one of the best damn screens in London, as Kurt Vonnegut said: “And I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, ‘If this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is.’” #renoir #curzon #grilledcheese #shortfilm

Bland, easy to follow, for fans of everything: what has the Netflix algorithm done to our films?
When the streaming giant began making films guided by data that aimed to please a vast audience, the results were often generic, forgettable, artless affairs. But is there a happy ending?
