Professional haver of takes
- Watching Hercules with the kiddos and my word this is a strange film.
- The worst part of being middle-aged is that you can painfully injure yourself from sleeping in a slightly funny position.
- Y’know how some of your parent’s friends are your favourite people? Like I didn’t realise how beautiful it would be having kids to watch some of my friends become their favourite people.
- Otis: What is these kaiju’s problem? Why can’t everyone just be nice?
- Showing the kids Pacific Rim and my god this film is perfect.
- hyphenonline.com/2026/01/23/w... I LOVED THIS SHOW!
- Guys my daughter told me that amongst her friends I was known as the “cool mum” and I know that has some pejorative vibes but I’m thrilled.
- Thrilled for Wunmi Mosaku, Wagner Moura and Amanda Batula for range of reasons.
- As a person Michael Rapaport once called a “fucking bitch” I really disapprove of him being on the traitors and I really approve of the response to him being on the traitors.
- Anyone want a theatre critic for exactly one gig of reviewing Hercules the Musical and also I get three free tickets? Anyone?
- You ever find yourself watching a podcast and marvelling at the fact that as a species we invented TV twice.

- A special movie night on a pile of pillows showing my kids The Princess Bride a couple weeks back was one of the best film experiences I’ve ever had. Devastating news. Rob Reiner brought so much joy to the world.
- There are exactly two ways introducing myself to someone goes. 1. “What do you do?” “Film critic” “And people pay you for that?” 2. “What do you do?” “Journalist” “What type of journalist?” “Culture mostly” “Fun…. And people pay for you for that?”
- Apple not providing screeners for Pluribus is just so damn mean.
- At this point I hope the uk never getting The Pitt led to some lazy tv exec’s brutal dismissal.
- For anyone who is aware of my intense adoration for Joel Edgerton please applaud as I have ticked “cry with and then hug Joel Edgerton” off the bucket list.
- The Knives Out films are like the early Jonathan Creek Xmas specials to me (complimentary).
- Solidarity with Palestine. Always.
- Reappearing on this app to say I LOVED Frankenstein.
- Not to brag but I have slept 4 hours total since Tuesday and I have started hallucinating little sparkles in my peripheral vision. It’s kinda jazzy!
- I am on holiday and having a great time but also making excuses to go to run “errands” so I can watch the Alison Brie and Dave Franco press tour.

- Big fan right to the end
- I will simply not recover of that dumbass billionaire having an unironic Gatsby themed wedding. What the fuck do those people think that book was about?
- Non-hospitality people enjoying The Bear feels like cultural appropriation.
- Anyone else hear the Jurassic Park theme song and insert lyrics? Mine are “Now we’ve found our hearts in Jurassic park with tonnes of dinosauuuurs. He didn’t like kids tho his girlfriend did but the villain was corporate greeeeed.”
