slightly increase a band APHEX TRIPLET

Did a workshop recently and was happy to discover that a surprisingly high amount of young people know about Mars Attacks

Some of us have lonelier roads to walk.

Can't believe that Keir Starmer came out and said that the Millienal Song is actually "Snooker Loopy" by Chas and Dave. The Labour Party need to act now!

I'm opinioning again here: clarechampion.ie/opinion-with...

Millennial songs? Nah, some of us were built different* *commenting on YouTube videos of Herman and the Hermits with "I was born in the wrong decade :("

Slipping into the RIPs

The Real Willennial song is of course... I'm Like a Bird by Nelly Furtado.

The lack of nu metal being mentioned for the "Millennial Song" is a sign of a generation afraid to look in the mirror!

Sara Baume’s account of her friendship with painter Mollie Douthit is superb. On art, housing, pain, landscape, the ritual of connection & the precarious financial life of writers and artists. The best book I’ve read so far this year. Out July @grantabooks.bsky.social granta.com/products/ope...

I did enjoy that she continues the speech. The Human Spirit prevails!

One of the worst parts of being an adult is having to switch to the shampoo with the LOADS MORE TEARS formula.

Looking for something to watch and just had the very sensible thought of "that's more of a during the day movie"

From Keening to being keen

This Mustn't Be The Place

One of my favourite moments in any sequel is in Sadako vs. Kayako (a Ring meets the Grudge crossover) where the protagonist avoids being cursed by the videotape because she is looking at her phone while it's playing.

RIP Koji Suzuki! Ring is terrific but its sequels well worth reading for a example of how to push your idea into real weird directions.

Woke up with Bob Odenkirk saying "Sundays are my day" knocking around my head.

Listening to Elliot Smith this morning and it just occurred to me; was Needle in the Hay the only time Wes Anderson used contemporary music in a film?

Feeling very energised this morning. Yesterday, after a few false starts during the week I got back into writing. This morning more writing has come forth. Expect a few posts on sspillanepoet.wordpress.com this week

"Dead as Doornails" by Anthony Cronin

Conversely the best episodes of Succession were the ones with the space battles.

I feel a lot of David Attenborough's hard work with nature preservation is to cover for how much of a mess his brother made of that dinosaur theme park.

Thinking about AI and that the big movie that anticipated the importance of "keeping a human in the loop" is Ghost in the Shell.

Am curious how much people think a bike shed should cost.

The Pied Piper of Hamelin was essentially an unpaid freelancer. While I don’t condone the stealing of clients’ children, I do understand the anger and frustration.

Mark Hamill, perhaps the most Bluesky poster of all

Beloved Bane's favourite charity way to taunt event in Batman Ireland 🤝 Darkness into Light

This picture was taken in Kodiak AK!

Man, they used to make whole Hollywood movies about firing journalists for this kind of thing.

Wild stuff going on with this episode of Tales from the Crypt

Everything, everything'll be alright, alright You just do some time

My review of Bojack Horseman:

Move over Hemingway

Every three minutes on Bluesky today: oh that's a delightful name for a town! Dudly-on-Friendton. I see they have voted for the Murdering Orphans party.

The only solution, we need to deploy another Corkman into the Labour party but with better politics

Mmm, they wouldn't do this for Dick Van Dyke. What's the beef?

I'm your only war I'm not your only war But I'm a little glowing war But really I'm not actually your war But I am

My last thought on the dialogue in the Nolan Odyssey is that I think there are lots of interesting ways to use modern vernacular in period dramas, but I dunno, the appeal in these things is working with unusual language!

Welcome to bluesky, the hot new social media app where everyone knows who Ted Turner is.

This is MY #Odyssey

"Except Malcolm is spelled with one L. M-A-L-C-O-M."

To be fair to it, it's been surprisingly good! (Sky do need to get a little less precious with uploading sketches to YouTube though)

Something still very surreal to me that Oliver Reed lived in North Cork.

Absolute horses for absolute courses.

Brb, going to go annoy Film People by suggesting that the main reason there is a revival in interest in The Devils and Ken Russell in general is because of Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights

Oh my god, Isabelle Huppert will be in Cork this summer!
