Hey! 👋🏻 It's been a while since I've been here! I've lost the thread of Benedict's work a bit... I need to watch Melrose... That's the last thing I've followed... And now this Brexit thing... I've been following Brexit irl... I'm not sure I want to see this lol... I hope it's better than the film on Assange (can't remember the name!!) Anyway... Nice to see this forum going. Cheers and happy holidays! 🥂

Welcome back, pankakesnotstellarI’m actually excited about this movie. Surely it won’t satisfy everyone considering the heated reactions but I still hope it’s well received. Some very early reactions by people who have actually watched it are very positive. It’s embargoed until December 28 so we will see... I remember The Fifth Estate had some positive reactions, too but they were just two or three tweets by random people and a leaked mini review by Peter Trevers (apparently one of the very few critics who liked it!). Mostly there was a lot of silence and was not just embargoed but the press screening at TIFF was cancelled at last minute. With this the press screenings began very early on and not just the creators seem confident against the polemic but they already sold it to HBO! It’s still a risky project for BC but if it’s a success it will be his third consecutive daring project for TV! If not, well, he would be criticized for doing another TFE!... but he will survive!

I’ll bet actual money that even if it’s a flop, Ben will get terrific reviews. 😁 But it won’t be a flop. It’s already stirring up strong emotions and dialogue! Ben, I’m sure, is pleased. “Good, bad, or indifferent.” 😃

Now the attack from the crazy right:
From: The Daily Mail.
Why should be a controversy when it seems “the gaffe” actually happened?

So it wasn’t true that he did just one interview....
I can’t wait for tomorrow’s Twitter storm! 😉 (even when it sounds like a fair plot to me! Politicians were racist and/or opportunistic on one side and smug and overconfident on the other! And agreed that working class people everywhere, not just the UK, are desperate for a change and sadly the left doesn’t care for them anymore meanwhile the extreme right are seen as the new anti-establishment)
