This has to be a joke, right? The cinema with the worst projection standards I’ve ever seen that renders onscreen text unreadable, projected on warped screens, that barely shows smaller films, and has a gents toilets that has smelled like a zoo for the past couple of years?

My one and only prediction for the night is that I don't think it will be nearly as close as the polling has suggested.

Travelling back in time to the Return of the Killer Tomatoes set and letting the cast know what one of them will bring down a President, but crucially not reveal which one of them.
George Clooney urges Joe Biden to step down as the 2024 Democratic nominee for president in a new op-ed: ā€œWe are not going to win in November with this president. On top of that, we won’t win the House, and we’re going to lose the Senate. This isn’t only my opinion; this is the opinion of every senator and congress member and governor that I’ve spoken with in private. Every single one, irrespective of what he or she is saying publicly.ā€ bit.ly/3xNraUR

Love Glen Powell, I’m excited to see him be a star, but this is Tom Cruise’s run up to 35, the same age Powell is now. There’s just no competing.

I've said this before, but millenials are starting to hit their 40s and becoming core voters and it feels like this still hasn't been as noted as much as it should.

People asking us if MEGALOPOLIS is "good" or "bad" seek the wrong answers. It does not live in the binary. The fact that it exists is what is most important. It is a defining chapter of a King Lear-scaled madman who conquered his highest mountain and wrote his own destiny. 1/2

The food was fine but it was overpriced (what a surprise). Some of the props looks liked replicas but some of the restaurants had cool authentic props that tied in with the location. Robert De Niro's actual costume from Taxi Driver in the New York one, for example.

Watching a 1969 documentary about Michael Caine and there’s a lovely moment where he visits his old house and is recognised as Maurice Micklewhite by a neighbour.
