Gutted to read this! Have absolutely loved reading (and occasionally writing for) Salty Popcorn. I hope it's not goodbye, simply see you later ❤️ Thank you for everything 🙌🏻
i'm two months late from when this letter was published but...as a (silent) fan of SP and as someone who looked up to (and still is) SP as an inspiration to turn my substack into a personal journal of some sort for my love of films, i want to say thank you for your words. i'll be here waiting for SP's return if it ever comes to that, so fingers crossed! 🖖
That's a really lovely message, thanks Élise. I saw The Outrun the other day, and that felt like a film worth writing about... maybe that urge will continue to grow. For the record, I've been subscribed to Egg Over Rice for some time now, and while I must admit I'm not a super frequent reader, I love it :)
unfortunately, the outrun isn't available in my local theatre, so i might have to find... uh, other ways to watch it. (i have to, because saoirse ronan is in it 😝) if you do end up writing about it, i'll be sure to read it (but then again, i read almost every SP post even though i barely comment)
and yes, thank you very much for subscribing! i was surprised – i still am. it means a lot for a casual movie enjoyer like me :)
Wait... WHAT? I really do hope hope it's gonna be a temporary pause and not a final goodbye. Thank you so much for all the wonderful moments and everything you've done, Salty. Watching you grow and build this SP community almost from the beginning was a true pleasure. Loved our lil collab in the year one. Damn, and following your recs was a blast. You really made the movie-choosing process much easier. Sending lots of love and gratitude, Tom 🫂
Thanks Stygi, this really made my day yesterday ❤️ I've really enjoyed building SP over the years, and making friends along the way. I was really looking forward to doing another collab too, but SP just became too much hard work — it was literally my midweek crisis!
SP might be back one day, but in the meantime I'm looking forward to more music recommendations :)
Really sad to hear this :( as I began on my year-long quest to become a "writer" a month ago, yours was one of the first Substacks I followed as I loved the gap you were filling in my media consumption. Would really love to see your words around still - if you have a Letterboxd or an Instagram I would gladly follow! 🫡📽️
Thats a really lovely thing to say, thank you. We might be back one day… but for now I need a break from it. You can follow Tomoosk on IG (very rarely post) and _SaltyPopcorn on Letterboxed (which I might take more seriously now 😅)
Sad news and au revoir Salty Popcorn! Thanks for some excellent recommendations over the years - and many random film facts. Have always really enjoyed seeing the cheery popcorn icon arriving in my inbox (and the writing of course...) ;)
Thank you Tom & Mia for a great run!! Congratulations--what a success. I'm so glad you created Salty Popcorn and offered us so many fun moments in my inbox. I look forward to staying connected and meeting in person before too long.
Thanks Mark, you were the first of many friends I met through this venture — and that in itself is worth a lot! Thanks so much for all your support over the years.

I was gutted to write it, I've simply ran out of steam! But out of the ashes may come a phoenix... or a podcast 😂
End of an era. Always here to read your words ❤️
As I am for yours ❤️

Just read this and it's so sad to hear SP is now retired.
Thank you for recommending my publication. It's really helped me grow my newsletter!
Thanks for the kind words Mikhail, it means a lot - and I’m glad that SP helped bring new readers to your newsletter too 😊

It's been a pleasure to read your newsletter, even if only for a few months!
Aw, thanks Serena - it’s been a pleasure having you as a reader! 🍎 ❤️

Thanks K, and thank you for being such a staunch supporter from day one, where my first review of 'The Midnight Sky' really makes me cringe!
