When I was in my 20s, The owner of the post house I was working for told other members of staff that if I dressed better I’d get more work (zero hours contract). So I started dressing like him. Sometimes I even bought the same clothes that he did. Can’t beat ‘em, dress like ‘em
I don’t think there’s an Irish person alive that can’t relate to at least one of these. Genius.

I’m gonna make a thread of all of these as they’re hard to find via search and they’re all SO FUNNY
County Lines arriving soon on Blu-ray!

RIP Bertrand Tavernier Such a diverse body of work meant that he never got his dues as a filmmaker (at least what was owed to him). L.627 was an amazing film and years before the procedurals like The Wire. Always thought I’d get to see a season of his work at the @BFI...

I hadn’t worn trackie bottoms (cotton joggers for posh people) in over 20years. To make up for this I’ve been wearing them for a solid year now.

A Subaru full of sea turtles.

My mom is retired, & she spends her winters volunteering at a sea turtle rescue center in south Texas. The cold snap is stunning the local turtles & they’re doing a lot of rescues. She sent me this photo today of the back of her Subaru. It’s *literally* turtles all the way down.

If I could go and live in Tumble Leaf for a month or two I would. So much love and respect to it’s creators. 😍
I love this. For how humorous it is but also how it’s made think about the past (and my past working in video stores). Bravo 👏😂

Explaining the concept of video stores to the girls ‘So if someone else in your town was watching Harry Potter then you couldn’t watch it?’ *20 minutes of actual rolling on the floor laughing

So good. Got the Scorsese vibe just right. 😂

As far back as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to be a patriot.

Portmarnock beach at 6.30pm. Don’t really stand a chance with this level of stupidity...

Every movie platform should have a genre of films called "Tight 90" for exhausted people who want to start watching at 9pm.

It’s small industry. The higher you go the more you realise that.

This is why we need more people from working-class backgrounds at the higher levels of the arts. If I heard snobbery like this from one of my directors, I’d fire them.
Casting and Production Design are two film disciplines that don’t get enough love. (Sound as well tbh. I say that as I hassle a friend to make some dialogue ‘punchier’™️) That’s my breakfast thought as I stare at todays rushes. #filmmaking #casting #productiondesign

What’s the toughest British movie? The new @COUNTYLINESfilm is brilliantly brutal at times. I can never forget watching Alan Clarke’s The Firm. #TheFirm #realism #britishfilm #socialrealism #GaryOldman @BFI
