I've just remembered when I put the theme from Death in Paradise over the title sequence from The Wire.

For a show that has a fair few unwatchable ones over the decades, "Kill the Moon" is a diabolical Dr. Who episode.

Goal! *remembers I'm on Bluesky* Classic distraction from the Epstein Files

Me: If there are infinite variations in the Spider-Verse, do you think there is a Spider-man who is in the 'Ra? Marvel: thank you, Mr. Leahy, for your ideas. We'll be on to you. Please don't call us.

Mmm, should I return to my first love?

Discoursive writing

Looked up the contents of Girl dinners and Boy kibbles and... I don't think I've seen anyone eat these?

Not to be confused with "Boy Kimble", the hotly anticipated prequel to The Fugitive.

It is funny to watch movies like The Martian or Project Hail Mary and imagine what insane editorials are being written on Earth while they are in space

I'll tell Itchy 😞

Hey, our stuff is in there!

The Rest is Nitroglycerin

The Harry Potter TV show announcement has understandably led to some revisionist history that the movies are already perfectly good adaptations, and this is clearly not true. Some of those movies are actively mediocre to quite bad.

drive carefully we have podcast in the back

I miss when defending problematic art was like "I watched a 70s arthouse movie last night and I'm 75% sure they murdered a guy onscreen" and not a book about magic I read when I was ten.

Scary Movie 6 having Felissa Rose in it is way more horror movie buff than anything the Scream films have done since the 00s.

You know the discourse is cooking when people start saying things "reading Lovecraft is actually less problematic because..."

My conviction that every weird hot take about books on here comes from Hugo Prize nominees remains unchallenged!

There’s only one elegant solution to this problem of increasingly stupid audiences, and that’s to mandate that every film ends with a closing rap song that lays out all the moral lessons of the movie. There will be a government office that reviews the songs for aural and pedagogical value.

Enjoying the weather today which can be best described as "montage of the seasons to indicate a year is passing".

I didn't know! What will I do for this emergency? I need to think!

Ha ha ha, hate to be one of those countries pinning their future on building data centres!

Reboot set on Bluesky?

in divisive times like these, its important to remember days like this, when we are all unified laughing at openAI.

Class! A difficult watch for those X users who love WW2 but spend their day angrily @ing the Met Office for making up bad weather.

Every so often I remember an interesting idea from The Bride! and remember that idea was competing in the movie with a hundred other ideas.

Everyone complains about this makeover yet no one complains about the real problem- the kids' cavalier attitude to detention! They were meant to reflect on their mistakes 😠

I think that boycotting the Harry Potter show and the trailer and everything is good but for yourself, there is something also to not just spending too much mental energy on it anymore. There are new worlds and stories to move on to, Hogwarts will fade away.

I'm not sure people have considered the real cost in the situation where GenAI falls. That's right, what will that Ed guy put in his newsletters?!

Guy who thinks there is going to be a trailer for a new Harold Pinter TV show today

Had a dream where the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were all having pizza in a diner. "Don't Stop Believing" starts playing and the Sopranos ending happens except it's Leonardo who cuts to black

Disney is dumping Sora? Bad news for Kingdom Hearts fans.

This is going to decimate the "forwarded many times" WhatsApp message industry. 😔

Rewatching Phantom Thread and in my heart, still the best PTA movie.

Exciting, could be the first AI to be compelledto give testimony at a congressional hearing!

Abbas Kiarostami 4Ks? Trump must not know Criterion is doing a 50% off sale.

I mean privacy and security questions aside, still don't really know what tasks on my computer I would give it that wouldn't be easier to do myself.
