@ellardent.bsky.social
Writer of Nova Jones (CBBC), Deep Heat (ITV2) and AfterDeath (film). Script editor of far more famous things. Neurodivergent and widowed. A typo in every tweet, guaranteed.
Gorgeous. (But psst, “Little Nellie.” Perhaps Little Nessie was a submarine…?)

That rare thing of Americans properly understanding the situations here. Felt extraordinary.

The top one. Netflix - Keri Russell, Rufus Sewell. 👍🏻

It’s soooooooooo good. Just brilliant comedic timing and such wit and invention.

Back in the day I’d just send people this. Which is, ironically, my defining thought on the subject.

This is, of course, what the funniest people on video platforms grasped so instinctually. Communal and energetic wins. Silvia’s huge on TikTok, and her “it does the job” FX - like South Park cutouts - become part of her inclusive voice.

Mitchell and Webb’s sketch show on Channel 4 had such a hard time trying to look good on its budget. The FX and grading, the shooting choices. Often not quite good enough.

It feels 🤦🏻‍♂️ to realise that aesthetic quality can be the enemy. Can’t nail it? Push away from that. Pick vibes instead.

The U.S. 4K disc works on UK players. A relief since it’s never gonna get a proper release here.

I love the brief section where Nolan remembers the primes is also blackly funny and goofy. “I’m chasing this guy…no, he’s chasing me.” “Hm, I don’t feel drunk…”

Rewatched it a couple of weeks ago and tonight, for the first time, saw the in-order edit. Just to see what it threw up.

Basically: Natalie’s a super complex character, Teddy’s relentlessly after the cash in the car and constantly tries new approaches, and wow is Lenny not at all how he dresses.
