Come on Tatler - it’s Barry Keoghan and he’s Irish and so is Paul Mescal.

Really interested in the ethics of how you’d make those sort of shows. What goes out, what stays in, who they cover etc.

Anyone know if there's any good books on the making of/behind the scenes of crime watch (uk) or if there's any books on the production of real life crime shows like Crime watch, crime line, America's most wanted etc?

Asides from The Menu, celebrity cult films have been really underwhelming.

This felt like Blink Twice and I wonder if there was any overlap in development as they felt so similar.

Overall, #Opus tried to hit all the right notes but failed to strike a chord.

Antóin Beag @antoinbeag.bsky.social · Mar 16

#Opus had a great premise and a really likeable cast but this film is just about entertaining, veering into boring a lot of the time.

Ayo Edebiri is the highlight and her charisma is enough to carry the film but overall it’s really frustrating as it wastes its potential.

If you’re telling me a joke and it starts with Wee Mary or Wee Johnny, I do not want to hear it. Have some goddamned self respect for yourself.

Belfast Pride have put out a statement which says very little if anything. And a link to a survey that again, asks very little.

Entry Number 8 - applied for the UK and Republic of Ireland Screenwriting Initiative with Benders.

Benders is my favourite script, if that wasn't obvious!

I know there are questions around the ethics of it and how information was presented but it’s incredibly well constructed.

Antóin Beag @antoinbeag.bsky.social · Feb 23

If anyone hasn’t seen #TheJinx, do yourself a favour and seek it out immediately. It’s possibly the greatest TV documentary ever, I really struggle to think of a better one.

Rewatching Battle Royale and it just hits differently as an adult.

It’s rare for a film to illicit such a strong reaction from me but it’s beautiful and brutal at the exact same time. If you’ve never seen it, correct that immediately.

Doctor WHO MESSED UP IN PUBLICITY

Scott Bryan @scottygb.bsky.social · Feb 22

A trailer during U20 Six Nations coverage has revealed #DoctorWho series two as April 12th.

Pretty sure that wasn’t the plan.

Anna Paquin’s kidney watching #AnatomyOfLies

Antóin Beag @antoinbeag.bsky.social · Feb 10

It just didn’t feel like it got the time, good script edits or a definitive end point and they were all badly needed.

It is such a shame because everyone involved is capable of so much better.
