"Without wanting to get into a big Spaced-style Hawk The Slayer vs. Krull debate, the 80s was packed with, dare we say it, a lot of same-y fantasy films..."

GB News, the channel of β€œreactionary rage bait”, has released its latest accounts showing a Β£22m loss for 2024/25 (and a Β£131m total loss since launch)

Yet another demonstration that there’s no shortage of funds on the right of British politics, writes @writesbright.bsky.social for the Nerve

Is it possible that David Ellison is ruining the film industry in revenge for him being a horrible actor?

Don't tell us you don't remember him in Flyboys - aka WWI Top Gun - alongside James Franco and Martin Henderson?!

I can't believe I missed the 10th year anniversary of the most embarrassing display of hubris by a creative in the 20th century.

I think about this post anytime I think I'm too big for my own boots. It grounds me. It keeps me sane.

Labour has forgotten who its voters are And that's the real story of student loans

The student loans system is scandalous. Labour have made it worse and allowed the Tories (who built it) an opening because it's the same old story: Lab forgets who its voters are. It doesn't like the coalition it has and hankers for another.

New substack from me.

Messiah of Evil on the TV?! If you haven't seen it, you owe yourself to do so tonight, just one of the most unusual and foreboding American horror films of the 70s.

It’s 15 years since I made SOUND IT OUT about the last record shop in #Teesside - and now I’m coming home with my 10th feature, premiering in competition at CPHdox

I can’t wait for you to meet Stan and the fishers of Hartlepool in this intimate and urgent portrait, filled with North East humour.

I feel that there are multiple very prominent horror stories based around the theme of 'Don't try to bring back the dead without the thing that makes them human', but maybe this time it'll really work out.

yes. the things that would make social media safer for children are almost all just the things that would make social media non-harmful/much less harmful for *all of us*.

if you do it by age verification then nothing will stop a child in a difficult home accessing stuff via parents' accounts
