Have you overdosed on Charli? Are you Gordon intolerant? Why is Jude on the cover of Vogue? IT’S NOT THAT DEEP WITH ALEX BILMES asks all the big questions (and sometimes even answers them) Link in bio alexbilmes.substack.com 10 Nov 2026

It’s Saturday morning. It’s chilly outside. IT’S NOT THAT DEEP! In this week’s newsletter: A simple tale of New York folk. Americana. Olivia Rodrigo. JD Vance. William Eggleston. Old films. New books. Max’s knob. The media shitscape. At the link in bio 07 Nov 2026

MIDWEEK SPECIAL! It’s Not That Deep with Alex Bilmes returns. Terrible music, sad films, appalling bags, sophisticated fluff. Free at the point of delivery (Substack.) 04 Nov 2026

Full circle. Our Wild Horse Nine screening - Club Ciné in partnership with @giorgioarmani - brought John Malkovich to The Cinema at Selfridges for a fascinating conversation about history, memory and the strange ways that life and art intersect. In conversation with writer and editor @alexbilmes, Malkovich recalled being a schoolboy when news broke of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in 1963. Years later, he would adapt and direct Don DeLillo’s Libra, a novel exploring Lee Harvey Oswald and the events surrounding Kennedy’s death, for the stage. The conversation came full circle with Martin McDonagh’s Wild Horse Nine, which draws together two defining moments in 20th-century history: Kennedy’s assassination in 1963 and the military coup in Chile in 1973. For Malkovich, what makes McDonagh’s film so compelling is its ability to explore the human cost of history without becoming polemical. Two events, a decade apart, that he describes as “magnetic bookends”, framing everything in between. Thank you to The Cinema at Selfridges for hosting us, to Searchlight UK, and to Martin, John, Mariana and Steve. The film releases on November 6 in the US and UK.

Writer-director Martin McDonagh is famous for his crackling dialogue and hypodermic-sharp wit. Here he is, absolutely losing his mind with amazement at the comic chops of his dashing interviewer. The occasion was a screening of his terrific new film, Wild Horse Nine. Some of the stars were present too (slide 2.) Thanks to my friend @tommacklin whose @clubcine.ig is the most glamorous film club in the world. That’s Tom between Buscemi and Malkovich, just along from my detached hand. @wildhorsenine is in cinemas from 6 November. It’s a blast. 29 Oct 2026

People talk about the enshittification of journalism but few have done as much as I have to stink the place out. My latest crap piece is in the autumn issue of @paperboy.magazine - the Dirty Issue. It is about poo: see second slide. Paperboy is only available in print. Because you can’t wipe your arse on the internet. (Believe me I’ve tried.) Love and respect to the fearless @davidmckendrickstudio 💩 28 Oct 2026

Punk, parenting, marriage, masculinity, motorcycles, drugs, drink, rage, shame, sobriety, money and “the greatest hallucinations I ever had.” @joshbrolin has had a wild life and he gives great interview. We talked for @theperfectmagazine about all the above and more. “I’m still not totally normal,” he told me. Maybe not, but he’s a good sport. Excellent photos by @giancarla.coppola . Thanks as ever to @kegrand and her brilliant team. (Also if you’re interested check out Josh’s hair-raising memoir, From Under a Truck. It’s nothing like other celebrity biographies and all the better for that.) Link in bio 27 Oct 2026

Not just Masterchef, Australian Masterchef. Not just Australian Masterchef, Kids Australian Masterchef. Why stop there? Is there a Kids Australian Masterchef Nights? Celebrity Kids Australian Masterchef Nights? Celebrity Kids Australian Masterchef Nights (Mat Cover)? She is the best thing that has happened to this country since Ginger Spice pinched Charles’s bum and told him he was “very sexy” and I won’t hear a word against her. (Or I will, but I won’t listen.) Best Duchess since the Aristocats. 27 Oct 2026

I’ve spent the past days shielding my eyes and blocking my ears from any coverage of this documentary so as not to ruin it when I do finally get to see it but then I realised I am only dimly aware of who Elizabeth Holmes is and what she did wrong and I have never seen any of Nathan Fielder’s works and know even less about him and now I realise I couldn’t actually give a shit and everything’s fine. (When’s it out again?) 25 Oct 2026

My talented former Esquire aide de camp @maxolesker has a funny story in @thetimes today about the three martini lunch. In it he refers to his time as the Keeper of the Bilmes Diary and Booker of the Bilmes Taxis as having occurred “at the exact end of the glory days of men’s glossy magazines.” So, by his calculation, circa 2011. No point arguing with that. He goes on to describe my approach to the job. “Just before 1pm, on selected Fridays, occasional Thursdays and, in the summer months, weekdays in general, my editor would depart from the office. Lunch, it was understood, was to be taken — at leisure, and at length.” Here I must take issue. I resent the suggestion that I slacked off in the colder months. My commitment to lunch was absolute, it was year-round, and Max himself collected the receipts to prove it. Needless to say he’ll be hearing from my lawyers. At the very least, he owes me a martini or three. 24 Oct 2026
