The Pete’s Dragon adaptation that David Lowery directed is lowkey good! Just don’t talk to me about that HIDEOUS Peter Pan & Wendy movie, which David Lowery also directed

Please my children (this article) need wine (you to click on this article)

Jeremy Allen White really is living the actor’s dream. Imagine playing a trifecta of characters as incredible as Bruce Springsteen, Kerry von Erich and Jabba the Hutt’s buff son

Voting McQueen under the proviso that an Irish person (me) is on the Hunger episode

Raymond & Ray a film whose entire cultural value is now Cinematrix based

My guy Frank just wants to be in Da Movies!

Elvis had no synths, you see, the youth yearn for synths!

This one feels strange mostly cause there was a popular movie about him released just 3 years ago starring a person who most 19 year olds will know

AI advocates are so loud about its value in democratising art and opening access when in discussions, but 95% of the time they don’t credit its use. So brazen until there’s a chance they’ll get a modicum of sweet sweet praise for zero effort and stealing from others

Something like this?

Hey here’s a neat idea I don’t give a fuck what Ben Shapiro thinks about anything and you shouldn’t be (re)posting his dog rectum face onto my timeline

I’m just glad TG4 took me up on my idea

She’s a very dainty lady as you can see by her folded paws

Took some time this morning and finally watched The Voice of Hind Rajab, as devastating of a movie as I’ve ever seen, made all the worse by the fact that 160 girls in and around her age were murdered while at school in Iran last week. A truly broken world

When you realise that people like that are the “shepherds” of your faith, it’s pretty hard to maintain. Maybe it’s not the same everywhere but it’s sure as shit my experience with the church

I realised that a large proportion of Irish priests truly lack humility. They’re men who enjoy lecturing others and holding people’s hope in their hands to crush or validate as they see fit

The Ryan Report really did it (i was 14) but on a smaller scale, it was the priest of my father’s home parish. Two separate incidents:
1. Used my grandfather’s anniversary mass homily for a homophobic tirade
2. Told my uncle his kidney transplant “wouldn’t take” cause he sensed bad energy from it

I recall a college flatmate’s American cousin staying on our couch for a full week and on the Friday i came back from lectures and says to him “jaysus man yano we’ve no oil here?” and when he whinged to my flatmate, he told him to dry up t’fuck

Ultimately i feel like every resident of this island has a duty to upset one American tourist so much that they make a “woe is me” TikTok that everyone makes fun of

Normalize asking American tourists where they were on January 6th

The real question is would they cover the 8 episode Mussolini miniseries on main feed

Finally, some good Pan (2015) content!

Agreed. Some great episodes would come out of it I’m sure but they haven’t done a filmography with some turkeys in it for a while. I’d love the chaos of a Joe Wright or F Gary Gray series

Fascinated by the idea of an episode on The Bubble, could have a claim on the worst movie they’ve ever covered

I hear his inauguration will be a golf dinner

I don’t know why you HATERS are always picking on Gavin. HE PAID THAT TENANT BACK HIS FULL DEPOSIT

I won’t speak for my colleagues but the absence of the other three Best Pic nominees in our coverage speaks to my “anti-plague” views whether it be bubonic (Hamnet), male loneliness (Frankenstein) and whatever the shit is up with Marty Reisman
