#IWTV props auction continues to surface all sorts of gems (albeit unintentional, I'm sure!) From the lot with Claudia's diaries and entry pages (vm.tiktok.com/ZNRuuSx7r/) a close-up of another doc shows detail and attention to detail for her vampire search vs geographical accuracy. This show! 🤩

It was a nice Rings of Power reunion too, with Peter Mullan mentioning that they were already friends from "the Lord of the Rings thing, where Rob played a Tory Elf" 😂 Forgive the blurry photos, the cinema had crap low lighting, but forewarned is FOREARMed (hello Elrond! 😏)

I SWEAR is so good! Great mix of hilarious and emotional. Robert Aramayo gives an absolutely brilliant performance (his Scottish accent is spot on!), with Peter Mullan, Maxine Peale and Scott Ellis Watson (younger John) fab too. Great Q&A incl the real John Davidson after.

Kicked off Edinburgh Fringe with new Hannah Moscovitch play RED LIKE FRUIT at the Trav. Really great, interrogating sexual assault and sexual harm and personal perceptions thereof. Challenges the audience, makes them subtly complicit - you're asked what you feel/believe, and why.

So glad that Filmhouse has reopened in Edinburgh, it's been missed. Cinema Paradiso on the big screen as their opening film was fab. Remembered the last thing I saw there before they closed... eps 1 and 2 of S1 on The Rings of Power! Mad to think (also, pls do some S3 in cinemas Amazon!)

Congrats to Michelle Lim Davidson and Marg Downey for their Logie noms, and #TheNewsreader overall for Best Drama, but it's crazy to get no nominations for Leads (altho Anna Torv got a nom for Territory, which seems to be dominating) Sam Reid went to incredible places in that role!

Matthew Santos (producer, singer, performer) who's working with Daniel Hart and Sam Reid on #iwtv music/songs this season, posted this from Toronto (that's the word cut off at the start) - he's promising us a BONKERS season! He seems genuinely psyched for it - adding to my hype levels!

New Dracula! Surprise Luc Besson, with Caleb Landry Jones looking suitably deranged as the Count (and Christoph Waltz v/o as Priest), apparently the focus is more on his 'lost love'. No UK or US distribution yet, just France and Germany youtu.be/w05UztF-3xY?...

I'd made a library reservation for Conclave MONTHS ago, the queue was understandably long cos of the film. Felt gloriously timely to have finally gotten my copy on the same day the actual Conclave starts (the reservation queue behind me is even longer now!) #conclave

For those wondering what Tolkien would have thought about artificial intelligence, he actually addressed it quite explicitly in the Fellowship of the Ring: "Ai! Ai!" wailed Legolas. "A Balrog has come!"
