You can get angry at the WB/Paramount merger. And you should. But it's also important to not crash out over things you cannot control. Your own life is more important than corporate interests.

On a related note, the London Film Festival lineup for this year has zero entries distributed by Warner Bros or Paramount. If the Ellisons and Zaslav want to monopolise the industry, then it's only fitting in a way that their own slate becomes less diverse and is shunned by groups like the BFI.

Ed Sheeran could have been big enough to stand up for his friend. He could have said, "You don't want the money from my gigs into local economy? Okay, that's on you." He did not.

With National Cinema Weekend starting tomorrow, I have some reviews of films still on release to share! First up, The End of Oak Street, a better spiritual Jurassic Park sequel than any of the actual ones and a much better JJ Abrams production than Rise of Skywalker. www.mixcloud.com/bathsound/jo...

New Projector Review! Underdogs take on a massive corporation both on and off the screen in the long-delayed, nearly-cancelled Coyote vs. ACME, whose well-deserved rescue from the scrapheap is a huge victory. That it's the best Looney Tunes movie to date is a bonus. youtu.be/ad8PtJZw82w

If there's anything we should take away from losing Dolly Parton, Tim Curry and Peter Cullen back to back to back, it's that we should aspire even more than ever to unapologetically do what we love most and bring joy to people's lives, so that we're remembered for the same reasons they will be.

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

We need a serious reckoning about the British press. We've had too many tragedies. And this whole saga was nothing but appealing to the worst, most prejudiced instincts of their writers and readers. They turned this into a cruel, relentless spectacle until a terrible outcome.

I have neglected posting on here big time the last few months so will do a big catch up thread of all my reviews soon, but as a prelude to my thoughts on The Mandalorian and Grogu (coming tomorrow), the most joy I got from it was seeing Steve Blum included as part of the opening credits.

This past weekend, the new movie Project Hail Mary was a smash hit, bringing in nearly $141 million at the box office. But many years ago, before he was writing novels adapted into mega-hit films, Andy Weir was fired from his dream job... at Blizzard Entertainment. Excerpt from my latest book:

Full disclosure, I've already decided I won't be covering the Moana remake in July because I already know it'll give me absolutely nothing to talk about. I'm already bracing myself to deliver a big sigh at the inevitable billion dollars it's going to make.

A big takeaway this year has to be that Sinners and One Battle After Another were big, artist driven, swings bankrolled by WB whose future is ultimately unclear. I like living in a world where people like PTA and Ryan Coogler get to make the films they want to make with those resources.

It's genuinely a shame what has happened with the BAFTAs last night. It's a very unfortunate incident, and the result of several failures, from not editing it from the telecast (the most critical error of all), to not acting fast enough in the aftermath, and they let down those involved.

As a fellow neurodivergent I fully echo Jack's sentiments, it's a film which truly embodies the role of cinema as a machine for empathy. It's also not out in America until April 24th so this will seriously help boost its profile over there.

Joe Warne @warnejoseph.bsky.social · 22/02/2026

As a ceremony this year's #Baftas were rather underwhelming, but I have no complaints when it comes to the actual winners. Robert Aramayo in particular deserved both of his and I Swear is a film that needs to be seen by more people, as does My Father's Shadow from Akinola Davies Jr.

From my time at London Film Festival last year, Anemone with Daniel Day-Lewis. The litany of rookie filmmaking mistakes and agonising pacing let it seethe, but the pretentious nature of it all and cop out ending had me - and quite a majority of my audience for that matter - absolutely fuming.

Jack Thorne's new adaptation of Lord of the Flies on iPlayer is really great stuff. None of my schools ever taught it so this was my first time experiencing it, and it's so devastating and impeccably well acted from the young cast. He's honestly one of my favourite screenwriters currently working.

Emerald Fennell's "Wuthering Heights" is driving everyone mad, myself included. But for me it's because this new "adaptation" really isn't all that provocative in the first place. My thoughts on it are now up on Bath Sound! (At the 1 hour 22 minute mark) www.mixcloud.com/bathsound/th...
