We’ll examine how 28 Days Later (2002) and Kill List (2011) predicted the vote and how His House (2020) and Men (2022) dealt with the UK leaving the EU.

We still don't fully get why @tvo locked $17 𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒐𝒏 into investments just before it started negotiating with us. It's too bad VP of finance Jeff Hogan chose to leave TVO a day after we publicly revealed this. It would be good to have an experienced VP on hand to explain.
TVO tucked this $17,000,000 into an investment account. What’s it waiting to spend this money on? TVO should be using its funding on educational material.
Run TVO like it matters.

Loved this! Highly recommend seeing it on the big screen if you get the chance.
Director Kitty Green and actor Julia Garner reunite alongside Jessica Henwick in THE ROYAL HOTEL, a story of two friends who must take exploitative jobs to fund their trip back home.
Watch the #TIFF23 favourite at TIFF Bell Lightbox Oct 6. bit.ly/3K7AEwV
ALT A film still from The Royal Hotel, directed by Kitty Green. Jessica Henwick and Julia Garner are standing side-by-side in the middle of a deserted area, carrying large bags on their shoulders as they stare into the distance. Behind them, a blue sky with white clouds and a satellite tower can be seen.

In which I finally get to process my thoughts and feelings on the inherent weirdness of the erotic thriller sub-genre.

When Ron Howard told a room of rich people to be quiet and listen to me because “she knows what she’s talking about.”
If I were a billionaire I would
• end world hunger
• ensure everyone has healthcare
• protect the environment
• pay @WainBright all the money for rights to her *stunning* memoir so @carriecoon (who I would also pay all the money to) could play her in either a miniseries/film
At the very least I encourage everyone to check out Stories I Might Regret Telling You:
