@wychstreet UK has consistently had the same problem which is our top talent goes to Hollywood. But training came from more than the BBC - the government-funded NFTS opened in 1971 and was a remarkable talent pipeline.

Penda’s Fen was made for the BBC. There was effectively no UK film industry from the 70s to the 90s; Mike Leigh made all those BBC films because he had to. When it exploded, briefly, it was because the BBC had trained a generation & made it hungry to work w/££. The BBC now..
Ellen Walker@EllenFWalker
The British used to make films with significant artistic risk like The Wicker Man and Penda's Fen now we make crap with names like "the bountiful pilgrimage of mr harold pettyfeather" and "the naughty penguin project"

@BeevesMe There was a similar story last year, leading to Five Guys being labelled "posh!"

Love this story 🍔 Greedy civil servants caught trying to buy posh Five Guys burgers on taxpayer-funded card Their order was declined - b/c their government credit card was turned off in waste crackdown. Cabinet Office froze 20k cards thesun.co.uk/news/34303255/…

Okay look, I get the point being made here but I’m not actually sure you can make this level of sweeping generalisation about British miserliness based on one tweet from an account called The Grift Report and the collection of weirdos who take the time to respond to it

I think you learn a lot about the UK, and about UK politics—both good and bad—that a hotel costing $260 a night is considered both an extraordinary luxury and a scandal.

I don’t know but this is why you put a link in one email and a password in another

how does the entire Legend of Aang movie get emailed to a guy on twitter with 700 followers by accident

If you’re writing sci-fi with no modelling principles whatsoever about how society operates, its gonna feel fake and frictionless. And guess what!
Fandom Pulse@fandompulse
Project Hail Mary writer Andy Weir on social commentary in books: "I dislike social commentary. Like… I really hate it. When I’m reading a book, I just want to be entertained, not preached at by the author. Plus, it ruins the wonder of the story if I know the author has a political or social axe to grind. I no longer speculate about all possible outcomes of the story because I know for a fact that the universe of that book will conspire to ensure that the author’s political agenda is validated. I hate that." "I put no politics or social commentary into my stories at all. Anyone who thinks they see something like that is reading it in on their own. I have no point to make, and I’m not trying to affect the reader’s opinion on anything. My sole job is to entertain, and I stick to that." "To that end, I also don’t talk about my personal political opinions publicly. I don’t want readers to even know, honestly. I don’t want that in the back of their minds as they read my stuff." Is this why he has the #1 sci-fi movie in decades?

One thing I’m NOT going to stand for is the younger generation trying to claim our indie music was good
doomer@uncledoomer
its crazy that for millenials this was just a mid throwaway indie pop one hit wonder amidst hundreds of others during a golden age of indie music destined to be forgotten, but has recently been rediscovered because music right now is just that fucking bad

A friend of mine likes to talk about how everyone takes something in films literally. He eg. takes characters’ attractiveness literally and it informs his understanding of how they react to each other. I take characters’ jobs literally. For some it’s socioeconomic status!
Ara@lefilmara
Idk who started this “how can Carrie afford that apartment on a writer’s salary?” ass takes when discussing films and tv but I need it to end. It’s boring and dull. Pls, If the characters’ finances aren’t integral to telling the story, give me a pretty-looking house.

Imagine having a life where people being disproportionately cross with celebrities seems like the biggest problem in society! Extremely jealous!
Variety@Variety
#PaulFeig calls out the outrage over “stupid shit” in pop culture like Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle campaign: “Unnecessary outrage is the biggest problem in our society right now,” he explained. “The female ‘Ghostbusters’ 10 years ago, you would’ve thought I launched an invasion of Iraq.”
English
Yeah Rachel feels unlikeable but she spends much of the film upset and shaken, so not exactly putting her best foot forward. She obv does know what she did was awful, she considers it the worst thing she’s ever done! The big diff is the level of grace extended to her vs Emma.
English
The “Emma did nothing wrong” thing isn’t so much inability to deal with complex characters (which isn’t new at all) but the obsession with virtuous watching - that feeling sympathy for a character who is deeply flawed provokes anxiety that this reflects poorly on the viewer.
English
@UnderstanderArt There’s a lot going on. They can’t put themselves in the shoes of someone forced into self reflection because they haven’t been, Emma was the type of weird kid the others would have bullied so they can’t relate, Emma also deluded herself that maybe what she did wasn’t a big deal.
English
I see why some people think this way. From Emma’s perspective, she absolutely is a villain. But at the end, she’s actually yelling at the guy who causes the biggest scene. You have to remember the entire movie takes place in a week. I don’t think anyone is a villain or angel.

Biggest movie villain of 2026 so far

Honest truth is the original Netflix series had a fair few strengths but well constructed individual episodes was not one of them.
Marvel Updates@marvel_updat3s
Charlie Cox says he didn’t like Episode 5 of ‘DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN’ Season 1. “I thought it was really dumb, and I really fought against doing it, you know, in a polite way. But I did end up watching it because I had to know... I was told that when they were testing the show, it was one of the highest-tested episodes of Marvel television.” (Via: C2E2)

I think this is one of the best films ever made
