- If the worse people in the world are angry that one of the most beautiful women in the world is playing Helen of Troy, wait till they find out that Zendaya is playing Athena, goddess of wisdom and warfare. (Also don't tell them that Hamish Patel and Will Yun Lee are playing Odysseus's comrades)
- The Big Picture, a feature length documentary from director Arthur Cauty about our venue Bristol Megascreen, is now available for rent on Kinema! It’s pay what you want (from $4.99), but alas only for UK viewers. Check it out now: kinema.com/films/the-bi...
- You just have to show them something that'll hook them from the off. Like the extended cut of Waterworld. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

- There are two wolves in every genre programmer. One is drawn to weird visuals, a bizarre premise and wanting to show the audience something they've never seen before. The other knows that the film's 10 minutes of awesomeness won't make up for the rest of its tedious running time. Who will win?
- If you live in Bristol, the legendary Hellfire Video Club are having their final screening at The Cube tonight marking the end of 15 years of showing cult trash. Come on down for a sleazy NY double bill. cubecinema.com/programme/ev...
