You know, I remember the days where I'd create a Letterboxd list for some niche interest, not to document the demise of yet another cinema I used closing down.

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

Farewell, then, to Croydon Vue. Your screening times were often obscure, your decor shabby or outright broken, your staff could make a ten minute queue when just two people buying tickets, and I swear one time I saw a rat scurry out from the seats, but in spite of all of that you were alright.

I'm thinking that Uncle Al might have been onto something Even if this was released in 2004...

Brief check: does this count as a birthday present?

Ahab claims "total and complete victory" with whale issue.

So the same Islamic ruling class in Iran now gets to put a toll on a Strait that was open and free before America intervened in the first place. Masterful gambit, sir

The 2026 World Cup is shaping up to be the new 1936 Summer Olympics.

NICHE JOKE ALERT What this really needed was a drone Olympic lurking in the background.

He is not here; he has risen, just as he said.

Went last night to see Project Hail Mary, and right before the film started a slide came up basically saying "Oh yeah, we're closing next week." Now mention of that last week when I went to see Ready or Not 2.

Nun, liebe Kinder, passt gut auf Ich bin etwas, das heute vor fünfundzwanzig Jahren freigelassen wurde.

Now that there is (comparatively...) less made-up stuff being posted on the internet today, it's time for the monthly film roundup.

25 years (and a couple of days...) ago, earth faced its greatest threat. So if you're wondering why I'll be spending the rest of the month singing The Doom Song...

Starting to be concerned that the staff at one branch of Honest Burgers recognise me whenever I go there...

Did I buy My Own Worst Enemy by Lit on CD single? Yes. Do I know any other songs by Lit? No. Can I still sing every single word of that song? Yes. Thanks for coming to my Q+A #totp

One aspect of why Spurs' season is...well, this season, that hasn't been mentioned as much as TF's tactics, injuries or PGMOL creating new rules for our games is how our squad seems ill-equipped to play two games a week in a season featuring both European football and constant international breaks.

Funnily enough, this reminds me of a time a couple of years ago where I was sat next to an Afrikaaner at a restaurant who refused to look at the menu a single time, and instead bossed the staff around to get what he wanted. Likely getting a few off-menu ingredients with his meal when it arrived.

Mueller was a decorated combat Marine who leaves behind a wife and two children. There is no defending this. Trump is scum.

Nvidia can Pl55 off.

Yeah, the guy with the cotton candy hairdo and the caked-on bronzer and the lifts in his shoes who constantly complains about how mean everyone is to him and how unfair it all is, that's pure alpha male behavior.

Enough with the elf on a shelf and cartoonish bastardised leprechaun cutesy nonsense, it's time we taught people outside of Ireland about REAL fairies (will swap your baby for a changeling and/or curse your entire family and their livestock if you even look sideways at a ring fort)

Senegal found to break AFCON rules once, so have to forfeit the trophy. Chelsea found to have repeatedly broken Premier League rules for seven years, issued with a fine they can make back by selling their training ground to themselves again. Love the consistency, really I do...

Well that's handy, Goodreads has added a Did Not Finish feature. I've had that feature on my desktop for years.

For some inexplicable reason I had four phone calls from Dominos this morning insisting I ordered a pizza from them, which begs the question who is using my phone number when ordering pizza. There has to be a short story in there somewhere...

Nigel Farage visiting Croydon, you say? Now, will somebody remind him what he previously said about the area?

Given the absolute state of r/coys at the moment, I am glad that I haven't been at risk of seeing the state of Spurs Twitter at any point in the last eight months or so.

"Why is the British right doing so much worse with young people than in the 1980s" is an interesting better question. That is about social class & partisan dealignment, education effects, Brexit directly + deep damage with young women not offset by vibes about young men bsky.app/profile/sund...

A couple of young, viral developers are making $500,000 a month with ‘Quittr’; an app to help people with porn addiction. Insane money, living in a mansion, etc. We found they exposed the masturbation habits of 100,000s of users, then lied about fixing it www.404media.co/viral-quittr...

No idea why Spurs wrote to PGMOL, given there's a good chance they won't see the letter given their recent track record.

"... and only loses £25m a year." AKA the cost of buying a substantive, ongoing rightward shift in the UK's Overton Window...

My niece was looking for suggestions of which literary character to dress as for World Book Day. By complete coincidence, I was looking for a bucket, some corn syrup and a bottle of red food dye when I heard this...

One thing I remember from being a school kid in the 90s is the talk sweeping the playground about the annual fight with our local rival - a rumble which never, ever happened. Just like this School Wars moral panic being pushed by the usual suspects and other bot farms, in other words.

As US and Israeli bombs fell on Iran this weekend, bettors on Polymarket — where $529 million was traded on contracts tied to the timing of the strikes — were cashing in

Second weekend in a row where Tottenham's highlights video may as well use this as the thumbnail.

Alright partner, Keep on posting your monthly film roundups, You know what time it is...

Of course, it is unlawful. Even the "pre-emptive" justification is half-hearted guff. Of course, it is stupid. Wise US politicians once realised a rules-based international order was in their interests. That is being thrown away. And most of all, and regardless of the above, it is wrong.

Spare a thought for the BBC at this difficult time, after they spent weeks saying the population of Gorton & Denton wanted to vote Reform, apparently without asking the voters of Gorton & Denton whether they wanted to or not.

God speed, Rob Grant.

Paranormal Activity returning to the West End has me thinking of one thing. I really need to work on that Hellraiser musical.

Had to say goodbye to Bandit this evening.

BREAKING: PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games, the studio responsible for modern remakes of classic games such as Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus, Bloomberg News has learned. A shocking end for a well-respected studio.

One thing I can definitely say is I have never been arrested on my birthday. Even though I may have inadvertently caused a small-scale riot on my birthday one time.

Talking NC phrases include: "I'm fundraising a game show--what can go wrong?" "No, you can't plug your Patreon." "What is up, my n***as!" "Ooh, a cinnamon roll!" "Your secret's safe with us, Justin." "It's really a love letter to Pink Floyd!" "We sincerely regret you feel that way."

I wonder why their seats are filling up fast...?
