Sooooo Doomsday trailer. Thoughts? Initial reaction, after all the real world photography of The Odyssey, this looks very small.

One of my favourite paintings, 'A Seated Woman Looking at a Child Through a Window', a ghostly 17th century work by the enigmatic Jacobus Vrel. Next to nothing is known about the artist, did he even exist? More than enough room for a Schalcken the Painter style BBC Ghost Story, I would've thought..!

Honestly wouldnât mind if the Odyssey was just a compilation of Matt Damon and Tom Hollandâs press tour. Every clip of them chatting about films or playing random games is a delight.

I enjoyed The Odyssey (2026) but I have one historical nitpick. The phrase âJiminy Christmasâ is a minced oath for âJesus Christâ. As the story is set around 1200 B.C. it is unlikely that Odysseus would have said the phrase even once, let alone the dozens of times he says it in the film

LONDONâD. Managed to squeeze a lot into yesterday. NPGâs Marilyn exhibition was incredible. Bowie at the Lightroom was overwhelming and brilliant. Anish Kapoor was ⊠kind of disappointing.

Really dislike how the majority of the clips I see from press tours for movies are the interviewer making it about themselves instead of interviewing the actors from the movie

Have I found Britainâs very worst traffic lights for pedestrians? | Adrian Chiles
The wait for the green man at these lights is unbearably slow â and then you only have 10 seconds to race across the road. But I did get a nice reply from the council when I complained, writes Adrian ...

Iâm sure this is old news, but I just learnt if you say âspace ghettosâ in an American accent, it sounds like a Scottish person saying âSpice Girlsâ.

The new food court in Seven Dials (Covent Garden) is split into two main sections, called Cucumber Alley and Banana Warehouse, and Sarah asked if they were euphemisms, and they definitely are arenât they. I canât not see it anymore.
