A chaotic, erratic, highly stressful whirlwind of ego, success and spiralling desperation, MARTY SUPREME serves up the perfect spiritual sequel to Uncut Gems, as Timothée Chalamet smashes it as a man on the very edge and courting chaos at every turn.

Marty Supreme | REVIEW | Chalamet smashes it in a stressy, balls-out thrill ride
Starting off as a rather standard sports biopic, Marty Supreme rapidly veers off the rails towards something else altogether

Some #Letterboxd thoughts on #28YearsLater #TheBoneTemble which I loved…maybe even a little bit more than its predecessor.

Fiennes is magnificent, O’Connell is unhinged and Nia DaCosta absolutely nails it
A ★★★★½ review of 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026)
Taking the batshit final five minutes from 28 Years Later and running with it, The Bone Temple is an equally wild rage zombie ride, yet, with a significantly condensed narrative and a more focused app...

Time to let it…umm…rip I guess

All the win. So much win

Well well well Jimmy. Taking #28YearsLater’s batshit final minutes & running with it, #TheBoneTemple is just as unhinged yet feels far more tonally consistent. Nia DaCosta deserves so much credit for taking the first film & honing it into something just as wild but more condensed & focused overall

#NowWatching 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple

3 pints in the bag. A far later screening than I usually do. Recliner seat. Let the rage zombie chaos commence!

I’m obsessed
Wanted to make a joke about live-action Father of the Pride but apparently nobody on here has seen these pictures of Andrew Garfield and Jude Law as Siegfried and Roy

I'm booked in for tomorrow night so I have no opinions yet but I loved the first one so am very much looking forward to it

I’ve decided to treat myself to a Leicester Square recliner for #TheBoneTemple. Feels like this one needs to be enjoyed horizontally

Think of the most random TV shows you can possibly think of. Got one?
Now find and post a GIF from it.

It’s a top-tier show. As a character study it’s beautifully done and it handled its concept incredibly well. My only slight issue is it spent a couple of the middle eps wheel spinning a bit plot-wise. Other than that, it was quality

If I cared much about the #GoldenGlobes I’d say Sinners was absolutely robbed but I don’t (honest)

At this point the whole #GoldenGlobes comedy/musical thing feels like one massive troll

Yeah the whole Macbeth sequence got me good

While the film’s gloom threatens to overwhelm it at times, Chloé Zhao’s natural, humanist direction and a revelatory Jessie Buckley performance bring us right into the very heart & soul of HAMNET, ensuring the film's emotions hit deep.

I've often thought about doing exactly this kind of thing here in London and this has fully inspired me to give it a shot...if for no other reason than the possibility of being invited to Bhutanese new year's party
