the new, supersized @filmstories is here! it’s now got an extra *checks notes* 68 pages (!!) of film goodness and this issue has my interview with édaín o’donnell about the newly-opened west cork film studios! huge congrats/thanks to @simonbrew, @lauren_m1les and all the team 👏

saw the megan teaser on the big screen tonight

RT @Not_Too_Loud: New Irish thriller BRING THEM DOWN, directed by Chris Andrews, is out today. “a worthwhile cautionary tale that warns ag…

is novocaine meant to be a horror? because when the trailer comes on in the cinema the jump scare of seeing a clean-shaven jack quaid gets me every single time

RT @words_salad: Since the #GRAMMYs are happening let’s not forget what deserved Song of the Year actually

@Milo_AFC haha i can’t imagine that would have helped things! i haven’t seen it again since i saw it in the cinema, and can’t even remember what specifically I didn’t vibe with, hoping i might appreciate it a bit more now, or maybe it is just a weaker effort from him? must revisit it.

28 years later trailer really has me bopping to the teletubbies theme tune every time it plays in the cinema

went to see NOSFERATU again – without hiding behind my hands this time – and yeah, it’s just stunning. obsessed with the cinematography, editing and everything willem dafoe is doing. robert eggers, you’ve done it again! my full review for @not_too_loud:

RT @Not_Too_Loud: REVIEW: Nosferatu – a handsome and haunting horror homage 🧛‍♂️🩸 Words: @HamishCalvert 📝

and what if i say i didn’t like either half of the brutalist, what then

replace the best picture noms with ten totally different films, i’ll start: 🦥queer ⚖️ juror #2 🥛 baby girl 🧛 nosferatu 🎒 a real pain 🎾 challengers 🐵 monkey man 📺 i saw the tv glow 🌲 small things like these 🎭 the count of monte cristo

despite julia fox’s best efforts in the opening minutes, i wasn’t sold on PRESENCE. its unique POV hook is a cool idea but ends up feeling more of a gimmick than an actual asset to the storytelling. sadly, it’s all a bit dull. my REVIEW for @not_too_loud:

RT @SonySoundtracks: just remembered that Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross will always be famous

RT @RhodeToLove: it's over

cries in challengers

nothing for challengers or queer !!!

the titular “presence” isn’t the entity, it’s actually her as the cunty estate agent, because that’s what we call screen presence baby

@richardgdavis clint mansell is great! the fountain is still on my to watch list though, but at least i know i’ve a great score to look forward to. his work on loving vincent is one of my faves.

@jmcelroy07 oh nice pick, i adore this score but also love the movie. daft punk doing a considerable amount of the heavy lifting for sure though haha

@scotthgilliland ah that’s interesting as i do remember being slightly underwhelmed by that film. have stuck the score on now, always looking more for my instrumental playlist.
