This is the best written show I've seen so far this year! Timely narrative wrapped up in a razor-sharp comedic bubble with fun characters. So so watchable. #CommonSideEffects is great tv.

Nice to see such a positive response to the BIA scheme. Great for all artists in the country, and it gives the government a clear signal about what the right thing to do is - retain and expand it.

Butch & Sundance, All the President's Men, Three Days of the Condor, The Sting, The Natural, and the list goes on and on. Robert Redford, one of a kind. Rest in peace.

Great to see a modern thriller stick to the basics & entertain without having to resort to gimmicks. Good writing, fun characters, 90s setting & a cat that likes to bite. Well worth checking out. #CaughtStealing

Awful, awful news. Brent Hinds was one of the truly unique heavy metal artists of the last 20 years. What a loss. Rest in peace.

So grateful they let people who know comedy handle this! Many daft and ridiculously silly laugh out loud moments, which is what #TheNakedGun movies were always about. And we're not getting beaten over the head with a message either - just good fun. Liam Neeson can do it all!

R.I.P, the godfather of heavy metal. Without Black Sabbath and Ozzy, life would definitely be a lot less fun. Amazing that he got the send-off he deserved.

#Friendship is definitely an A24 comedy. Hilarious and dark and bonkers - loved it!

Good performances, nice cinematography & a tale of two halves, which felt like the on-ramp for the sequels. Jack O'Connell's having a wild year, though, isn't he?! But, context is important, and the timeline logic used here is interesting. Food for thought.. #28YearsLater

Writing is no joke. You must commit to the long run, and every day, you must be prepared to tear things up when it's just not working. Collaborations are extremely satisfying creatively but also incredibly demanding. 4 years since we began, our scripts are ready! #screenwriting #scriptsky

No matter what best advice is or which party is in power, you can trust Irish politicians to ignore it. I now expect them to announce an increase in the TV licence later this year & then intro this levy in years to come when it's too late #Netflix #levy

‘Netflix levy’: Government acted against expert advice to introduce content charge at ‘earliest possible date’
However, despite the advice it decided against a so-called ‘Netflix levy’, citing the impact on consumers

Good on McIlroy! The hardest possible way to do it! Hit some outrageous shots on 15 and 17, and ultimately, he finally got that monkey off his back in the playoff. Generational talent. Happy for him. #Rory #themasters

Stripped back, super cool spy thriller from Steven Soderbergh, following on from his great ghost story, Presence - which was also written by David Koepp! 90 minutes of high-end character acting, great dialogue, and slick direction. Fun time at the cinema! #BlackBag

Great film writing is essential for film lovers to better understand the films they love so much. And great film writing should be well compensated. You can't have a stable of brilliant minds on gig-economy salaries. You can exploit talent only so long before it leaves.

In the mood for an old-fashioned muscular crime-thriller? Check out The Order from Justin Kurzel, starring Jude Law, Nicholas Hoult & Tye Sheridan. A timely tale of the disenchanted & those obsessed with serving justice.
