Beware aging Gen X musicians! Olivia Rodrigo is your Paddington Bear, escorting you to the big three day festival in the sky!

DINOSAURS FELL IN LOVE BUT THEY DIDN'T SAY GOODBYE

Me and the rain this morning:

I don't think you've truly experienced the Rocky Horror Picture Show until you've heard a Cork fella loudly shout "Yeah, sonic transducer, bai!"

If they do this, they should 100% go back to that 2001 style of animation. None of those fancy textures!

Conglomerate financing means you get big action films. They’re the safest; they travel internationally and work with an illiterate audience. But special effects don’t reflect what’s going on in a culture. There is a “lostness” in the air that isn’t in our movies. (1998)

A lot of the quote tweets are getting mad at this seemingly missing the point of the novel which perhaps, but it isn't necessarily a bad thing!

...And you have known us by your last trail of the dead.

Me reading about Supergirl: Oh, so it's like SuperTed except a human? Okay, Hollywood, I'm listening.

So we are arguing about air conditioning? Excellent, that sounds very compelling.

This does remind me of an article about a popular show where it was being praised for having the healthiest relationship on TV and uh couldn't say that made it sound the most thrilling watch.

The funny thing about the Wuthering Heights movie is that it went out of its way to make Heathcliff less problematic and people still got mad at it!

Wait a minute, I actually read Romeo & Juliet too and I don't recall co-signing this. Where is my lawyer?!

This post is a psy-op to catch you guys out.

Watching One Missed Call, a Japanese horror movie about cursed phone calls and it does feel like the makers are working through thier feelings about voice notes.

Today in PhD reading: there was a theory that Shakespeare was two people working together - a skilled writer and some kind of advanced mystic.

What is going on in the Netflix animation department?

Watched the Practical Magic 2 trailer and including two (2!) spooky remixes of famous pop songs? Jail immediately!

It is interesting that people on here seem to less likely to say the reflecting pool is "A Distraction" than the war in Iran.

Magnum is the favourite?! I see the recession skipped the UK.

Not the funniest show in the world but admirably committed to its niche subject of parody (60s/70s British Horror)

In lighter news: In Stoneybatter, an annual tour of local cats – from the gentle giant to the chicken thief. Read about the neighbourhood cat crawl here: www.dublininquirer.com/in-stoneybat...

Similar energy

I'm not going to lie, I am slightly intrigued.

Really should be "Spider crab stuns with Zara Larsson outside Manchester Museum" but okay

Percival Everett • Serious Music (A Novel) 📕 March 2, 2027 • Penguin Random House www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/818005...

Listening to Blank Check and reeling from the revelation that the soundtrack album of Disney's Tarzan was a major success.

Watched the trailer for Klara and the Sun (looks aright) and marvelling how quickly Taika Waititi went from "exciting new director" to "ugh, this guy?"

You do the math! (you do the monster math)

This is embarrassing. I have no memory of saying this.

Watching a reel on Instagram where John B. Keane blames men getting smaller and less tough on the popularity of sandwiches. The OG manosphere.😔

I don't usually repost these but The Muppet Caper is such a specific reference, he must have just rewatched it or something.

There may be something in the argument that this place piles on journalists too readily but I'm always amazed by the seeming belief that things were different on X, The Everything App. Those used to go on for daaaays

They’re calling it the least comprehensible achievement of all time.

It's my birthday today so you are legally obligated to share my work, and humor my need for validation. Pretty please? 🥹

Rosie and Jim, Rosie and Jim Chugging along on the old Ragdoll

My main memory of Brexit was by some coincidence I was visiting in London that day and saw a very excited English guy trying to explain to a Spanish waiter why it was the best thing to ever happen.

Saw a post for a hip new club night on Instagram and it is impressively unwilling to tell me clearly where it is happening.

ME: okay, kiddo, I hope you have a great week at sumer camp! KID: don't you mean "summer" camp? UR-NAMMU: construction of the great ziggurat begins at first light ME: your counselor seems nice

Ah method acting for the Yesteryear adaptation

I would actually say that AI art is the ultimate proof that "Everything is a remix" isn't true. The end results of entirely GenAI artwork are lifeless, dull or broken, no matter the ingredients so clearly something else is missing.

Hydration break is nature's way of saying that professional sports needs to bring back a pause for pints ala professional darts in the 80s.

My prediction: we are about to get some god awful Harmony Korine movies.

James Burrows was not a giant in sitcom directing. He was THE giant. The primary director of Cheers and Taxi. The only director (I believe) of Will & Grace. The director whose pilots for Friends, Third Rock, Frasier, and Big Bang Theory got them on the air. The king. RIP. people.com/james-burrow...

I have a little Carly Rae Jepsen reference on the first page of my new book coming out in September so yes, you may thank me for manifesting this.

Watched Moonstruck and An Unmarried Woman over the last few days and it was a reminder of that romantic dramas/comedies once had premises as simple as "someone is lonely."
