Do you enjoy inconvenience, ink on your fingers and a mild unspoken sense of superiority? Try fountain pens.

Sometimes academia

Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney is a kind of fever dream and everything is out there but hang on… was this a casual Cantonese joke??

The Studio is a TV show about movies made by movie nerds. Episode 2 is about oners and is shot as a glorious and stressful oner with screwball comedic timing. Beaut. #TheStudio #Appletv+

(No real spoilers) An interesting thing that has come out of #Squidgame2 is the ear worm that is the Mingle game song - as referenced to the show - or rather, 둥글게둥글게 (dunggulgae dunggulgae), a traditional Korean children’s song that has gained an unexpected new group of English-speaking fans.

Interesting to note international producing partners of Better Man: Sina Studios (China), Facing East (described as 'Asian, European and US-based') and Film Australia and Vicscreen (director Michael Gracey is Australian) - for a biopic about beloved UK icon Robbie Williams. #Transnational, anyone?
