🤡

Also worth noting that the Nolan movies most readily decried as conservative (his Batman films) were co-written by David S. Goyer. Not totally absolving Nolan of any reactionary leanings, but interesting that his recent, more liberally-read films have been written purely by him.

Correcting her that the plural is 'LEGO' is a win-win: I get to be pedantic *and* there's a chance she'll yank the chain harder in response 😌

One Night Only depicts the one day a year the govt lets you yank crank with your non-dominant hand

Who in their right mind is paying $220 for the fucking Mandalorian and Grogu 😭

We're hosting a screening of The Odyssey with work people tonight and I am seriously considering sitcking around for viewing number three 😶

Booo! I like the charm of the 'is he...y'know...' hand :(

lmao if your reaction to the prime minister committing to abolishing rough sleeping is "this won't play with the median voter" then you really have drowned in the cult of savviness

It's fucked up that the Trojan Horse could fit 40 men inside, but when Mr Hands tried the reverse he couldn't even manage one.

Mention of Bob Hoskins on the timeline has me watching this on repeat several times again

God, this is so petty

Real Mann Heads will see this and say “Hell yeah”

Never mind, just saw Neil Blomkamp is making AI slurry now. Friendship ended with Chappie.

"fierce competition" with fucking who you stopped selling used games, closed all your stores and hid inside sports direct and replaced 90% of your stock with funko pops and squishmallows

Michael Mann's MIAMI VICE premiered 20 years ago today www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r7F...

Bro looks like he's been rendered in the Creation Engine.

Still the same day as Dune?

Will not be gaslit into thinking the Downing Street lectern guy is hot, he just looks good because he's in the vicinity of our chopped politicians.

It’s giving Garry’s Mod

Starting to think it might not be coming home.

Lotta people only now discovering that TSG’s vanity card is an ODYSSEY reference. youtu.be/4fVmLoexuVQ?...

Briefly logged into The Hellsite to grab an old cat picture and the timeline is wall-to-wall ODYSSEY chat (themes, favourite moments, connections, jokes, hype edits etc) and here it might as well be radio silence, save for the same reheated takes from older millennials who haven't even seen it yet 😶

No-context spoilers for THE ODYSSEY:

George Lucas in 1997, deciding which CGI creature to add:

Phenomenal blink-and-you'll-miss-it bit in the DUNE PART THREE prologue where a background dude catches a laser bolt to the head and fuckin' evaporates.

Having more Odyssey thoughts™️

Happy for all my football mutuals, think you all needed this x

Okay on round 2 that’s a complete ‘get to your local as fast as you can’-level endorsement from me. Funnily enough, I think the IMAX 70mm presentation was almost *too* overwhelming for a first watch, a run-of-the-mill DCP actually helped the first act go down soooo much smoother this time.

No greater love than between a gal and her peach beer

Saturday morning chores

No coherent ODYSSEY thoughts yet, only the same one I’ve had after every Nolan film since INTERSTELLAR: genuinely, where does he go from here??

No really I think it’s very cool that all it took for some transparency about what the fuck a billion dollar game studio is working on was thousands of people losing their jobs. Very healthy industry, good stuff!!

They’re just really big fans of Joseph Campbell

“prioritise values of provincial Britain over party’s metropolitan mindset”

This idea for a youtube thumbnail entered my head at half eight this morning and I could not rest until I made it real. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

a few good Jessica’s

Wearing this to THE ODYSSEY later like a performative man reading The Bell Jar in a public park.

She got some horrid fatphobic abuse in the street earlier so in the interest of presenting her in a slightly less embarassing light, look how gorgeous she is ❤️

Today in “Chris Explains Youth Culture to his straight/offline colleagues”: ‘Serving cunt’

My girlfriend is a beautiful, intelligent and fiercely brave woman who just occasionally sits with an ice-cream wrapper stuck to her leg for two hours without noticing. I love her.

Granted it's the 2019 Special Edition, but still...'Empire in IMAX 👀 whatson.bfi.org.uk/imax/Online/...

The baby-brained whining we saw 10 years ago with the BATMAN VS SUPERMAN reviews now extends into the wider culture war as the cachet of comic book cinema declines. Never thought I'd feel wistful for the days of Snyder Cut wankers.

i successfully argued for Doom to be among the 25 most influential works of American art.

I hope he’s doing okay this morning youtu.be/AO7Ogi4E5fM?...

No World Cup No Prime Minister No James Bond No Doctor Who

Going to work tomorrow as the one person who doesn't give a shit about football
