🎵 On Boxing Day. Robbie Williams looks to entertain you as a CGI monkey in #BetterMan. ✏️@CalliePetch lets love be their energy in their ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review, declaring it a biopic unafraid to go for gigantic swings at every possible op. Read HERE: moviemarker.co.uk/better-man

Phones in cinemas is a no. Talking in the cinema is a no. It’s really not hard for a few hours to allow the power of cinema to make you feel engaged and even help to support your mood/mental health. If you think wrong, then you’re the problem.

Just incredibly bleak that when a Labour government is finally in power, disabled people still have to wake up to front pages calling them a blight on society.

this is a perfectly stated embodiment of how so many filmmakers have come to see the artifice of film as something to hide and in doing so paradoxically makes their movies look and feel incredibly artificial

JF: I have posted this before, but in this climate and in this forum I will restate it: trans rights are human rights.

There is research published on this topic, but it is purposely ignored by people who simply do not want their class interests threatened
Democrats love to act like Republicans, lose, then conclude that the problem is that they’re still not enough like Republicans.

This brings another Desert Bus to a close. We had some amazing times, we made some incredible memories and we raised $1.25 Million for the children. For Hope. Orbspeed. Good Night. Good Luck. See you next year.

we really cant talk, we literally picked boris johnson over jeremy corbyn
as a British person how are Americans struggling between to pick a well educated woman or a convicted felon who’s going to make everyone’s lives awful (unless you’re rich).

I think what I'm least looking forward to from a UK perspective is liberal talking heads congratulating themselves that "at least we're not heading that way over here" when any clear-eyed analysis of the last election result will demonstrate that's *exactly* the path we are on.

People saying this means the final moment of the Kingsman series is the post credit teasing Hitler but my pedantic ass has to say that’s technically wrong. The real end of Kingsman is the Argylle post credit that teases an Argylle and Kingsman crossover, which is somehow funnier
There are no plans for new ‘KINGSMAN’ movies anytime soon. (Source: hollywoodreporter.com/movies…)

Keir Starmer is an opportunistic hack. This is like Keir taking the knee for Black Lives Matter. Nothing but photo op. Pays lip service to ‘immeasurable grief’ of Palestinians but sells Israel arms, refuses to condemn it for genocide & says it has right to deny them food & water.
Today @AngelaRayner and I met members of the Palestinian community in the UK who have lost loved ones in Gaza, alongside Dr Husam Zomlot, Head of the Palestinian mission to the UK. I am humbled by their immeasurable grief. This horrific suffering must end, there must be an immediate ceasefire, and Israel must let unrestricted aid into Gaza now.

“Mr Kaba, who was not armed and had no weapons in the car, had both hands on the steering wheel when he was shot in the head” They also still haven’t explained where the Rolex he was wearing disappeared to following his death. We don’t shout enough in this country.

For people that don't understand the frustration and anger about this image. Just picture Andrew Wakefield receiving a peerage for publishing his discredited paper claiming vaccines cause autism. This is just as offensive.
Hilary Cass getting a peerage for publishing an ideologically biased, methodically unsound, internationally discredited report that’s being used to remove healthcare rights from vulnerable young trans people is disgusting.
