I can't say I had a call with Hezbollah, but my grandfather once did* *they kidnapped him for half an hour until they realised he wasn't American.

Estou bêbado

Damn. What an incredible figure. RIP

So, in your language, when someone asks "koji ti je kurac," does that mean that there was a bunch of them and you had to choose one?

Google's scraping of game schedules and results has gotten a lot iffier lately, probably a result of AI infecting the code. Anyway, who's playing the conference finals?

Cruel Stage Mom Shoves 100 Milligrams Of Adderall Down Grogu’s Throat

Orson Welles: I worked with Grogu. Not in film you see but on the stage. Brilliant performer but a cruel disgusting wretch of a soul. Interviewer: Pourrions-nous parler de Citizen Kane à la place, s'il vous plaît ? Welles: yes he did sell out his friends to HUAC, I will never forgive him for that

Rewatched all the mainline Star Wars films recently (for Grogu - RIP). Anyway, here's the definitive ranking. 1. The Last Jedi 2. Attack of the Clones 3. Empire Strikes Back 4. Revenge of the Sith 5. A New Hope 6. Phantom Menace 7. Return of the Jedi 8. The Force Awakens 9. The Rise of Skywalker

this is why i hate "representasians" imagine talking to tony leung like this. you should be taking notes from him but instead "it's marvel"??? holy shit www.vulture.com/article/tony...

Today I learned there is exactly one cool thing about Wes Streeting.

RIP Clarence Carter. One of the greats. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tj8e...

One of the interesting things about learning Brazilian Portuguese is that it makes all the other latin languages much easier to understand, except Portuguese Portuguese.

Oooh this is nice, maybe we can find out some other cool bits of cenobite lore, like whether Pinhead is more into Beyoncé or Taylor Swift

I've changed my mind. I'm glad every horrible journalist and the pedophile president are now trapped in Nakatomi Plaza.

I stumbled on Pasolini's Petrolio (oh wow) in a used bookstore in Brasil (oh nice)...but it's in German (ah fuck)

Please, no!

Gutted I can't be in Bristol for Cinema Rediscovered's 10th anniversary, especially as it issby far the most important film festival in my life. But on the other hand, there will be more seats for you to book as a direct result of my absence.

Perhaps Eric Adams, alongside Serbian citizens Steven Seagal and Ralph Fiennes, can finally bring peace between two nations?

A movie couple who would definitely have a podcast

It's now been 3 hours since our supposed "ally" Donald Trump threatened genocide on a country of 93 million people. We've had absolutely nothing from the UK government. This doesn't come in a vacuum either - every day the US & Israel have been murdering innocent people.

on the one hand I fundamentally believe in democracy, we can't just dissolve the people and elect another, or do woke Jim Crow. on the other if you voted for Trump, you should go to a reeducation camp

Every day I sit and say to myself "i bet i wouldn't have missed"

Some thoughts on No Other Land: letterboxd.com/astadaradim/...

It's funny that Trump was the first to say 'Praise be to Allah" as President. DOUBLE STANDARD because if Biden had said it they'd have impeached him and DON'T GET ME STARTED on if Obama had, smdh

BOOSNNIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

AUGUSTUS CAESAR, LEONARDO DA VINCI, GIORGIA MELONI, CAN YOU HEAR ME GIORGIA MELONI? YOUR BOYS TOOK A HELL OF A BEATING! YOUR BOYS TOOK A HELL OF A BEATING!

It's not the first time in recent years I've heard people claim this (without hint of irony), but I suspect Nele Karajlic is in the loony bin section of post-Yu politics and shouldn't be taken seriously. Shame as there's plenty to write about the intersection of politics and culture in Yugoslavia...

When you're used to Brazilian Portuguese, hearing Portuguese Portuguese is like entering the upside down

It was a bittersweet victory...

I don't have a Bosnia kit, but I do have a Velež Mostar one, which I will be wearing in solidarity tonight, and which doubles up as looking like it could be a Wales kit from a distance.

I lived in Wales for the vast majority of my life (26 years), and yet my heart is fully with Bosnia tonight for World Cup Qualification, and for very good reason:

well he's certainly found a flair for the dramatic today.

And the reason why I am is because I have the patience to put up with this bullshit.

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping/As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door/“Tis some visitor” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door/Only Jose Cuervo and nothing more"

As Nick Clegg’s in the spotlight again, here’s a short thread of the time I took his bizarre 2020 Politico photo shoot and turned them into Edinburgh posters. 1/4

Extended thoughts about Sentimental Value, which I watched on Saturday and thought was ok, but now that its won over Secret Agent, I've decided I hate it and everything it represents: letterboxd.com/astadaradim/...

Bit of a bummer that Sinners didn't bag Best Picture or Director, but still jazzed for Michael B Jordan, Coogler's writing award, Maggie Kang, Autumn Durald Arkapaw to win at the White, English Speaking Dudes Award Show. Also congrats to Knock Off for winning Best Picture/Director again.

Sentimental Value: White People Problems - The Movie

Massively appreciative of anyone who combines two of my favourite things (cinema and football)

Until you can prove microsoft excel isn't conscious, we can't rule out the possibility How ironic that the left has now become theistic dualists, in denying the possibility microsoft excel is conscious If we can accept a mouse has consciousness, why not excel? Precautionary principle means we no
