Joe Warne @warnejoseph.bsky.social · 15hI've been so stuck in with #LFF, but it's a sign of a strong lineup when 14 films in the lowest score I've had is a 2.5, and there's still so much great stuff yet to come over the next 8 days! Prepare yourself for a highlights thread: 110

Joe Warne @warnejoseph.bsky.social · 21/09/2026On 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. 010

Joe Warne @warnejoseph.bsky.social · 23/03/2026It's so transparently just a vehicle for The Rock to play Maui again in live-action, which I don't even think will go all that well as to me he sounded a lot flatter and more disinterested vocally in the sequel. 140

Reposted by Joe WarneJustin LaLiberty @jlalibs.bsky.social · 16/03/2026A 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.

Joe Warne @warnejoseph.bsky.social · 16/03/2026The last ceremony I watched live was four years ago so this is an automatic improvement on that. I have no major gripes with the winners, Conan O'Brien was reliably great but the technicals were especially sloppy. Whoever was in charge of the mics and exit music seriously needed reigning in. #Oscars 000
Joe Warne @warnejoseph.bsky.social · 16/03/2026What made One Battle After Another my favourite film of last year beyond its quality was how it gave me hope, that no matter how broken the world is politically or how powerless I may feel there will always be those with the fire to fight back. And its win tonight amplified that hope. #Oscars 100
