Interviewing stars from behind the barriers at the 2008 Bafta Awards

Ultra Culture was born on February 14th 2008 but only became as mind-blowingly brilliant as it is now in about May 2009. Since then we’ve written almost a thousand blog posts, been horribly misquoted in several major newspapers, and even published a Review of the Year magazine featuring contributions from Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, Joe Cornish, Nick Frost, Matt Edmondson and Garth Jennings.

Some things we love: unexpectedly amazing cinema trips, black and white movies on Blu-ray, anything involving Emily Watson or Leonardo DiCaprio, back issues of Sight & Sound, completely dark screening rooms, getting free shit in the post, Eurotrip, the lead-up to the Oscars, the London Film Festival, unconventional aspect ratios and sitting front row centre at the Odeon West End Screen 1.

Some things we hate: talking during the movie, Cosmo Landesman, people who use the phrase ’so bad it’s good’, Incendiary, plot synopses, formulaic poster design, Stuart Hazeldine, the photo captions in Empire, the fact that no-one knows where the ICA is, the Best British Film category at the Baftas, Odeon Putney and the thought of anyone apart from Jonathan Ross hosting The Film Programme.

Ultra Culture wouldn’t exist without the support of a massive network of friends, writers, PRs, filmmakers and (of course) you, the humble readers. Thanks a million!
