Late evening library dash to collect two reservations I've been waiting for in high anticipation for some time.

Haha, yes, that would be quite the source of envy for a known Daniel Appreciator 😁 It was Kerry from the SDCC Blog that secured it, so I'm sure it's in a good home. I had to bow out of bids on the hero bundles, crazy prices. Happy with what I got though - helped not needing transatlantic shipping!

But yes, it's keeping everyone engaged during hiatus! Certainly prompted (another!) S2 rewatch from me, as much to find my new chairs in scenes 👀

The auction in Ireland was near my sister, when she picked up for me (got some TdV furniture!), they were still reeling at the response to it, didn't know what to make of people paying mad money for small "low value" items. My van guy admitted to getting into Louis's coffin before delivering it 😁

Thank you! Some things that've surfaced (like trial scripts and Claudia's diary entries) feel like they were supposed to shredded and never actually widely seen. BUT truly fascinating to see the care and detail that goes into these things, and to get story insights. S3 will be the same I'm sure! 🙌🏼

Pop Culture LouWeasel @popcultweasel.bsky.social · 10/03/2026

@lincodega.com this is from S2 but is it likely to be writers/research notes, or more into production for props and design consideration, if you can say pls? Claudia's diaries are so key, seeing the full entries, the storytelling behind the glimpses on screen is fascinating! vm.tiktok.com/ZNRuurpKh/

#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! 😏)

Pop Culture LouWeasel @popcultweasel.bsky.social · 20/09/2025

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.

It's heeeeere!! #TheRingsOfPower lives! I love when we get a wee peek at making off/BTS stuff. S3 production has felt quiet so far, all behind closed doors, so good to know they're cooking!

I didn't fully take that as confirmation of it not happening though, they all have competing versions of events. I could see the tone/vibe of it being different than her account though. But him stopping her leaving had such a material impact on what she did next, would seem odd to remove it entirely

Thank you so much for this! I'd hoped we'd get it officially by now too. Yours is much clearer than the one doing the rounds 🫡

I know they'll add more, and I was too casual about checking, but still seems wild that the first 70mm BFI IMAX screenings for The Odyssey are already sold out. OVER A YEAR IN ADVANCE! 😆

The first time I watched The Newsreader, after both seasons of IWTV, I was literally pausing it every few minutes to marvel and wonder how the hell Dale was the same person!

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!)

Was interested to see what Jonathan Anderson was going to do at Dior, wasn't expecting a (no doubt eye-wateringly expensive) Dracula tote! The vampire renaissance is going high end

Pop Culture LouWeasel @popcultweasel.bsky.social · 23/06/2025

It's such a stretch! No denying there are humerous parts, and a lot of dark comedy underpinning some tense moments, but I feel even that got less and less each season. Wouldn't be so much an issue if it didn't keep winning comedy categories against some proper funny shows!

Thank youuuu! I'm really hoping that I'll be able to avoid them more on BlueSky. The race to post unverified and/or leaked info and images drives me nuts. I know we're all excited for S3, but let the show makers present it to us per their vision, not with rumours and low res pixels!

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!
