Emilia Clarke Gossip

Sarah probably just threw back a shot of whisky to prepare herself for the ignorance I’m about to drop here about Star Wars. Did you see Solo? I saw it on Saturday. It was fine. As Sarah wrote in her review Full Story

After all the behind-the-scenes drama and production strife, Solo: A Star Wars Story turned out okay. Better than okay—parts of it are really good. Unlike Rogue One, which bears the Frankensteinian scars of a multiple-director vision, Solo is cohesive from beginning to end, tonally and narratively consistent. Full Story

We’ve all just resigned ourselves to Solo happening to us, right? Like a trip to the dentist—it’s just something we have to get through. A jaunty new trailer has been released to encourage us to take our Star Wars fan service with grace and good cheer, but the most this trailer musters for me is: I like that editing beat with the buttons after “Push it!”, and also the voice of Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s droid (she is the creator of Sandra Oh's project Killing Eve Full Story

There’s really nothing like a Game Of Thrones Sunday, is what I texted to Sarah last night when the episode was over. She wrote back like, I KNOW! It feels so good! All that family drama and suspense and posturing and dragons and… fashion! Game Of Thrones is now a proper fashion show! We’ll come back to that in a minute. Full Story

The Han Solo spin-off does not yet have a title, so for now I’m calling it Han Solo & Friends. The just-released first cast photo shows off Han (Alden Ehrenreich), Lando (Donald Glover Full Story

If you’re the kind of person that doesn’t like to know anything about Game of Thrones while it’s filming, then this post is not for you. There are set photos, they’re not especially spoilery but they do show people standing together in ways suggestive of Important Things Happening, so if you’re spoiler-sensitive, bow out now. Full Story

I don’t dislike Emilia Clarke, and I like the Khaleesi, but I do find her totally unremarkable sometimes – especially when she doesn’t have her trademark white-blonde hair. Very pretty, but not very memorable, maybe. Full Story

Movies about people falling in love when one of them is dying is a particular sub-genre of romantic drama, and the latest entry into the field is Me Before You, a tearjerker adapted by Jojo Moyes from her novel of the same name, and directed by Thea Sharrock, a stage director making her feature film debut. Full Story
