That's probably going to be the Hazanavicius one, if Film Twitter is anything to go by. A Godard biopic that focuses on his relationship with a woman when she was 17? Messy territory at best.

Lynne Ramsay's got a film there so that's all I was hoping for, although I must admit, I saw the grand total of three women directors in the main competition and thought "Hey, that's pretty good". Progress remains depressingly slow.

I started out really enjoying Missing Richard Simmons - it's a fascinating topic packaged in an expertly produced podcast that was somewhat self-aware in its muddy ethics - but by the final couple of episodes, it felt too icky for me. I get that the whole conclusion is the host pretty much admitting the show is more…

Maggie Gyllenhaal and Rain Phoenix as the Brothers Sisters.

It's currently sandwiched between Fingersmith and The Little Friend. Make of that what you will.

Hey, motivation to read the book that's been sitting on my shelf for close to a year.

Her next project sounds fascinating - a teen romance set during Nazi Germany centred on a mixed race girl and a white boy. I'm glad she's getting these opportunities to tell such stories because we could damn well use more directors like her.

I liked the film a lot more than Jesse. It's gorgeous to look at, the central pair are excellent and Asante has a great grasp over what makes a romance compelling. The main problem is its length. It really needs to be a mini-series to fit in all that history because in feature length form it just doesn't have the time…

It's worth noting that no woman ever has been nominated for Best Cinematography, let alone won the award. And a UCLA study recently showed that the number of women directors is actually falling, not increasing, so we can't even say progress is being made, despite the visibility of the issue. I'm glad AMPAS and the…

I would get that more if the middle grade & YA e-book lists were also up for scrapping, given the huge market percentage those categories make up of digital publishing. The whole thing feels like really ineffective cost cutting measures, similar to the NYT's recent scrapping of local theatre, restaurant & arts…

They also seem to be scrapping the mass market paperback best-seller list, which strikes me as remarkably short-sighted, not to mention kind of elitist, given how much that list is often dominated by romance and sci-fi novels.

I enjoy how he signs up for all these major franchises and geek properties then happily admits he's never actually seen any of them.

Oh believe me, they're still going strong.

Bryan Fuller basically used Mads as his own personal mannequin for suits he liked on Hannibal. I feel like he just inspires giddiness in everyone he works with, which I'm fine with.

I'm stunned this movie even got made.

2017 is bringing with it a new Lynne Ramsay film, so maybe there is hope for us all.

Having terms like mansplaining can be incredibly helpful. Defining that very act - when men condescendingly explain something to women, particularly if it's something they're already well versed in - has power, and being able to put just say that instead of going into the long winded spiel of why the act itself is so…

Was this before or after she bragged about loving her husband more than her children?

If she didn't exist, Trey Parker and Matt Stone would have had to make her up.

I still have so many questions over that. Like, who got to keep the I Heart TS tank-top? Did she make it? Did Tom? Did a poor assistant have to crack out the fabric paint? I have to know.
