I remember on the run-up to the release of Harry Styles' 2022 film MY POLICEMAN a critic I followed on Twitter would rave in reminiscence of seeing the love scene at some pre-screening and how revolutionary it was. Then when the film was released he walked back his raves because it wasn't how he remembered it and he admitted to maybe over-egging it because he was so happy to see a a gay love scene.
But here's to films/tv shows that don't over-egg. That don't gas up the sex scenes so that when viewers finally see it they'd be like
Instead they could be pleasantly surprised much like I was when I saw Ira Sach's PASSAGES
and the Paramount+ limited series FELLOW TRAVELERS.
Ben Whishaw, I have too much respect for you to nearly stare into your bumhole. I lreserve that for when I'm watching Aaron Taylor-Johnson in SAVAGES.
If only the relationship between Ben and Franz's characters was this wholesome in the film.
-Ben is rumoured to be dating his THIS IS GOING TO HURT costar Kadiff Kirwan of MY POLICEMAN and currently in SLOW HORSES and the charming C4 comedy EVERYONE ELSE BURNS (which is airing in the US on the CW).
Next up for Ben?
Netflix's thriller BLACK DOVES where he will play the longtime confidante of Keira Knightley's Helen.
-He has a short film that people are hoping for Oscars consideration, which will be tough when Wes Anderson's quartet of short films
are out there, but surely it's better than the pair of Pedro Almodovar's short films STRANGE WAY OF LIFE and THE HUMAN VOICE
I know, Ben. They were just the worst!
Surely, GOOD BOY will be better.
What is GOOD BOY about?
"Danny (Whishaw) is a man who attempts to rob a bank with the help of his anarchic mother Jackie (Marion Bailey). But his plans are foiled when confronted by his family doctor outside the bank. What follows is a poignant and original portrayal of grief and desperation."
-A long ways off is the third installment of the PADDINGTON films. PADDINGTON IN PERU will be released November 2024 in the UK and January 2025 in the U.S. Due to the SAG-AFTRA strike Rachel Zegler (THE HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS AND SNAKES) has departed the project. She has been replaced by Gina Cabot of HBO Espana's 30 MONEDAS/ 30 COINS (whose second series is currently airing on Max).

"…I think they might be a bit tight on your big hairy mitts. Though Ciara certainly wasn't complaining about them. Oh no, you got quite the five star review, darling. And she's had plenty to compare you with."

Slow Horses renewed for season 5
Slow Horses renewed for season 5
Apple TV has announced a season 5 for Slow Horses. Given season 3 just ended last week (season 4 is already made) the audience figures must be very strong. Rotten Tomatoes rates it 97% critics and 96% audience — very good indeed, even if the volume of reviews isn’t massive.
Here’s what they have to say:
Since its premiere in 2022, Slow Horses has been celebrated as “undoubtedly the best spy…

Slow Horses (Season 3)
This show just keeps getting better and better. It's funny and witty has a good mystery and the acting is top notch. I couldn't wait for season 4 so I have started the book on which the next season is based on and the books are just as funny and engaging. A must watch (and read if you enjoy these sorts of stories which I do!).
P.S. I hope for the sake of the cast that Gary Oldman isn't a method actor! 😂
