Professional sports is the only profession where if you get good enough at your job, you will become a playable character in a video game.

What if the movie was called Glad Boys and Will Smith and Martin Lawrence played men who were very grateful. That’s what I’m thinking abou.

Good time to add Google Docs constantly suggesting ways to make your writing more boring like it's pointing out spelling mistakes has been driving me to the brink.

I don’t think I can understand a world without Diane Keaton in it.

Genuinely think this is one of my favourite video essays, and I don't just say that because I love rugby/I'm friendly with @squidgygoat.bsky.social. The way it details both the sports drama and political tension does such a good job at illustrating how almost every activity is inherently political.

He's gonna make some insane tweets about this, I can't wait

Josh O’Connor as an unhinged priest in a Knives Out movie is the fourth best thing that’s ever happened to me

You guys see where this is going? Right?

We have another two weeks of being able to call Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping the funniest film of the last decade

So ummm Weapons is the funniest film of the year

Genuinely what do they want to achieve with this

I remain astonished by 28 Years Later. Dozens of artists firing on all cylinders, producing distinct work, yet Boyle somehow pulling all these disparate chunks into a whole that feels complete, cohesive, crackling on a scale you probably can't accomplish if it's just one person's vision.

I always love chatting with @squidgygoat.bsky.social about video games and occassionally throwing in an obscure rugby reference really confuse poor @kellymerka.bsky.social.

Casting two English actors as Link & Zelda implies when Shigeru Miyamoto was cutting about in woods outside Kyoto as a kid he imagined everybody had British accents

I’ve now come out of Sinners, 28 Years Later and Superman this summer invigorated by a feeling that somehow, miraculously, in the alchemy of making a big movie on that scale, art won out over commerce.

As someone who bought a Switch 2 and wants to read/listen/watch stuff about the games I've played, the fact such an enormous percentage of the work out there is speculation on the future or frame rate/tech analysis rather than examination & reflection on the art itself continues to frustrate me.

Alternative suggestion: Listen to me.

Brad Pitt's "deftness in removing the specter of violence from his own narrative is a reminder of the ways violence against women is normalized. It isn’t that people don’t believe in what happened to Jolie on that plane — they just don’t care."

Americans would love crumpets

A new Half Man Half Biscuit album releasing the exact day I turn 30 is such a perfect bit of universe kismet I'm surprised it doesn't happen for everyone.

Omg Sonic's in this?!

Now to get used to turning on this thing every day for the next eight years

Quentin Tarantino found dead in a ditch

Woah, they look just like in the old one

The only downside to being off Twitter is every few weeks you miss another unhinged Michael Caine tweet

This year’s hosts putting Petra on screen

With apologies to The Beekeeper, my four favourite films of the decade so far

This place gets more and more like Twitter every day.

Why do we, as a society, have the movie Mission: Impossible - Fallout if we also have to have jobs and therefor do things that aren’t watch the movie Mission: Impossible - Fallout.

The disappointing sequel to Luigi's Mansion

the Nintendo Switch 2 price sucks

I hope this movie is sixteen hours long www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsQg...

Someone let me talk about something other than rugby for a bit (We still talked about rugby)

Delighted to finally have the chance to talk with @squidgygoat.bsky.social about hot new video games like Donkey Kong 94 and the latest Rugby news like "Hey Jonah Lomu was pretty good, huh?"

Why does ITV need their coverage of any live event to mostly consist of people who just utterly hate the thing they're being paid to talk about

Remember when they made a movie about tennis players being horny and it was the best thing to ever happen

I can't quite believe I'm saying this but: I wrote a book! And it's being published this May! It's about Rome, its enduring appeal, the many different ways it has been interpreted, and how understanding this helps us see both the past and the world today more clearly. geni.us/AllRoadsLead...

Hey, you should buy this book my cool friend wrote!

I also passed a bar advertising Valentine's Day "Mates and Dates Prices" last week and am still fuming it didn't say Rates.

Six days ago I passed a man in the street walking a dog he called Caitlyn and I am still thinking about it.

All I'm saying is if Greta Gerwig appears in a half-time advert during a major rugby final the game is not getting mentioned once during my video

He boasts about being a sexual predator, he's been accused by 25 women of rape, harassment or assault, a jury found he "forcibly and non consensually penetrated Carroll's vagina with his fingers," he supports banning abortion. But he hates trans people and so the Times calls him "a feminist hero."

I saw 1,751 movies at my local multiplex over the last decade-plus, and these were my favourites.

The cinema I've been frequenting three or four times a week for the last fourteen years closes for good tonight. The corridor before their last showing is exactly how I always imagined my passage into the afterlife.

Decades of confirmation hearings where women testify to abuse and sexual violence, only for the men in question to rise to higher positions of power, is a perfect encapsulation of why more victims don’t come forward.
