the horrors persist what, no, that's it

When the camera cut to Ben White in the stands #AFC

This is how Jon Favreau’s own family story shaped The Mandalorian and Grogu. “He was a single dad and I lost my mom when I was young…” This conversation changed the way I looked at the bounty hunter and his little green son. #StarWars #Filmsky www.esquire.com/entertainmen...

I feel like we’re at a spot similar to the late 80s - 90s & then 00s - 2010s period where Star Wars was sort of dogged on by general media as ‘dead’. Even though for most fans and general audiences; it was pretty much alive and cooking. Thankfully these things are cyclical.

Devastated to hear that Tom Kane has passed away. Sending my love to his family. He voiced so much of my childhood and left such an important mark on Star Wars. He will be missed ❤️

😂😂😂

“If I’m not in tomorrow, I’ve Tophard myself” is an A+ Thomas gag. Also, addicted to George Fouracres as Ringo Starr 😂 #SNLUK

I refuse to believe my fellow friends and podcast compatriots were at the US premiere for #TheMandalorianAndGrogu and didn’t immediately JUMP on this lifesize AT-RT and go “vrrm pew pew” What a wasted opportunity. Cowards.

“That’s right, Murr is this week’s big loser! And for his punishment, he has to work under Sir Keir Starmer’s cabinet”

Heartbroken. Thank you for everything, Katie ❤️

I’ve been struggling recently with what I’m doing with my life. I feel aimless, like I haven’t got a direction or target to hit. I’m not in a position to love the work I do, so I’m stuck in an endless, repetitive Groundhog Day. That’s why I’m putting my name in the running to be the new Labour PM

That sound you can hear is the NHS cheering.

It’s his time. He’s tuss enough.

Wes Streeting has resigned to take the job he was born to do…regional sales manager for Moss Bros

I keep seeing people critique the special for “retreading covered ground”. I can’t disagree enough on this. I think an important aspect of mental health, trauma & grief is that there’s no ‘easy fix’. Life is more complicated than a “A-B” narrative.

No one likes Wes Streeting. He has the most punchable face in politics and has already alienated half of Labour’s core constituencies. He has negative charisma. The idea he can lead a party to any kind of national election win is baffling.

I can almost feel the envy emanating from the White House. But you can't just replicate this with Temu gold painted decals.

Not sure this new pornhub category will take off

Wes Streeting is no different than Sir Keir, in fact I would argue he’s worse for the below.

Holocaust denial, but the newspapers pretending to give a damn about antisemitism, The Times, Telegraph and Mail, haven't covered it because it's not about the Greens.

I really enjoyed ‘THE PUNISHER: ONE LAST KILL’ & how it reexamines Frank, his mental health and his effect on the wider world. The Marvel Presentation format definitely feels more like a one-shot comic, which I’m always a fan of watching. That said, I could do with another season with Frank.

‘Regular Show’ creator J.G. Quintel says the entertainment industry feels so “truncated and short” now: “10 episodes, and then wait until it streams to see if it’s got numbers, and then we’ll call you back" (via @variety.com)

Is this the same Palantir as the one with access to NHS patient records? 🫣

The UK used to be no.1 but due to being a transphobic trash fire is now 22.

Happy Birthday to Cohost @cstribs.bsky.social ✨ Seen here, using her psionic ability to contact the X-Men

Apparently Starmer is about to give a 'please let me survive' speech outlinging that “incremental change won’t cut it”. So what do we reckon will be his flagship policy? Using disabled and trans people to beat asylum seekers to death? Because this will undoubtedly be another lurch to the right

The questions Starmer is getting from the press is a perfect illustration of how badly he's fucked it. Every single aspect of that speech was calibrated to piss someone off and please no one.

Thank FUCKING CHRIST

Moff Jerjerrod is a fairly small character in the wider SW mythos, but Michael adds so much to him in that brief time that it etched its way onto my mind. A brilliant performer and he will be missed. RIP

Peter Serafinowicz as Nigel Farage was INSPIRED casting 😂 #SNLUK

My good friend Trey is incredibly talented with a 📸 Chicago’s a gorgeous city, and it’s reflected in the beautiful format of film. But there’s an art to taking photos - and the man’s an artist.

How I thought I looked on the Red Carpet yesterday v how I actually looked in photos:

I just had a brief look at Twitter (I needed to find a contact for something, I'm not torturing myself)…and dear god. I’m so grateful to be on here. The amount of narcissistic boring posts on there from people is impressive.

“Now your honor, I put to you that my client Anakin Skywalker, a disabled war veteran and single father of two, was not responsible for those atrocities. It was in fact Darth Vader who committed those acts.”

“YOU WILL PICK UP THE BOOK, YOU COWARD.”

The urge to make a fake account & jump into the discourse by saying “Urm, I think you’ll find that Ghost Anakin is a 3rd separate entity.”

Devon & Q’ira are going to abandon that grumpy old man on Malachor and get the fuck outtttttaaaa there.

That’s assuming Jeff Bezos is human.

As is now painfully obvious, political centrism (government by neoliberal technocrats) is in its final death throes. The only beneficiary of their demise is the racist, nativist, xenophobic, idiot-right. The only viable alternative to the catastrophe of their rise is an avowedly antifascist left.

Jon Favreau discussed how Jeremy Allen White managed to find his way into playing Rotta, son of the notorious Hutt gangster Jabba. #TheMandalorianAndGrogu

A joy & absolute pleasure to be in the same room as these talented folks. #MandalorianAndGrogu

Ali Plumb asked Kathy Kennedy how she managed to get Martin Scorsese in Star Wars! The answer may surprise you!

Just when you think you’ve outrun @prefecttiming.bsky.social - he’s on the cinema screen

Thought I’d have a night out for once.

UPDATE: just saw Jon Favreau’s bum

I’m going on a little journey to the city of my birth to meet an old friend or two…
