For our 11th raffle prize reveal today, we will have a crochet of a cute Little Bilbo! While @anardilyas.bsky.social is putting the finishing touches on his creation, she has graciously provided a pattern (left pic) and a previous work (right pic) to give you an idea of her artistic style. (1/2)

It was a nice Rings of Power reunion too, with Peter Mullan mentioning that they were already friends from "the Lord of the Rings thing, where Rob played a Tory Elf" 😂
Forgive the blurry photos, the cinema had crap low lighting, but forewarned is FOREARMed (hello Elrond! 😏)

I SWEAR is so good! Great mix of hilarious and emotional. Robert Aramayo gives an absolutely brilliant performance (his Scottish accent is spot on!), with Peter Mullan, Maxine Peale and Scott Ellis Watson (younger John) fab too. Great Q&A incl the real John Davidson after.

Kicked off Edinburgh Fringe with new Hannah Moscovitch play RED LIKE FRUIT at the Trav. Really great, interrogating sexual assault and sexual harm and personal perceptions thereof. Challenges the audience, makes them subtly complicit - you're asked what you feel/believe, and why.

It's heeeeere!! #TheRingsOfPower lives!
I love when we get a wee peek at making off/BTS stuff. S3 production has felt quiet so far, all behind closed doors, so good to know they're cooking!

I know they'll add more, and I was too casual about checking, but still seems wild that the first 70mm BFI IMAX screenings for The Odyssey are already sold out. OVER A YEAR IN ADVANCE! 😆

So glad that Filmhouse has reopened in Edinburgh, it's been missed. Cinema Paradiso on the big screen as their opening film was fab.
Remembered the last thing I saw there before they closed... eps 1 and 2 of S1 on The Rings of Power! Mad to think (also, pls do some S3 in cinemas Amazon!)

Was interested to see what Jonathan Anderson was going to do at Dior, wasn't expecting a (no doubt eye-wateringly expensive) Dracula tote!

Congrats to Michelle Lim Davidson and Marg Downey for their Logie noms, and #TheNewsreader overall for Best Drama, but it's crazy to get no nominations for Leads (altho Anna Torv got a nom for Territory, which seems to be dominating)
Sam Reid went to incredible places in that role!

This is a great interview with Rolin Jones - I love that he doesn't really hold back
(this show is yappers all the way down!).
There's never been any doubt, but the levels of care, consideration and quality that goes into IWTV... 🥹

Matthew Santos (producer, singer, performer) who's working with Daniel Hart and Sam Reid on #iwtv music/songs this season, posted this from Toronto (that's the word cut off at the start) - he's promising us a BONKERS season! He seems genuinely psyched for it - adding to my hype levels!

New Dracula!
Surprise Luc Besson, with Caleb Landry Jones looking suitably deranged as the Count (and Christoph Waltz v/o as Priest), apparently the focus is more on his 'lost love'. No UK or US distribution yet, just France and Germany
