Either the commentators liked Cosmo the best or they’re just so happy it’s finally over #ViennaCalling

I’m going to be kind to Austria and say their selection process has been heavily impacted by a huge number of high quality artists and songs not submitting this year due to … well, we all know what. But that’s being exceedingly generous. The last two hours have been excruciating. #ViennaCalling

The commentators are slowly running out of polite ways to say “that was scheisse” #ViennaCalling

Not sure if it’s on purpose or not, but Herr Kurt is singing like he’s learned the lyrics phonetically - it’s *almost* English, but not quite #ViennaCalling

Half way through and not one of these songs is worth what Vienna will be shelling out as host city. A bit embarrassing tbh. And hosts with no clue or charisma. #ViennaCalling

Tsui Hark’s 1986 rambunctious, fast-moving film Peking Opera Blues gets the Arrow Video limited edition treatment. With a host of extras, the 4K UHD and Blu-ray release drops on 16th February, and is worth your time for Brigitte Lin alone. Marie's review:

Quite impressed by Cortina’s presentation of Olympic rings but nothing, NOTHING, will beat the forging of said rings at London 2012.

Well. However, there was no guarantee he would win and on a personal note I would rather he stood when the situation is much more confident. If Polanski/Gullis were the other options, it would have been very messy indeed.

Heard a lot of “ICE is the Gestapo” recently, and I have to say, I think this sums it up better. youtu.be/BYOeamkqHtc?...

Well I was waiting to hear Matt Blxxk and all I can hear is Eurodab … can’t get that out of my head now #MESC2026

Add Paula Selling’s mid-competition set to the eternal “why don’t they just send this instead” list. Pity whoever has to follow her #SelectiaNationala

Wenn’s Eva wäre dann bin ich super enttäuscht #tatort

Moment mal - haben Leitmeyer und Batic das nicht vor zwei Wochen in München ermittelt? #tatort

Still get goosebumps from Fai Rumore #esc250

Saudade, saudade is such a special song #ESC250

Lane Moje too low. Way. Too. Low. #esc250

I think it’s time they retired Murot #tatort

Typografie ist wichtig!

This headline in the latest newsletter from Deutsche Welle … “Leaders of Germany's 16 states have drafted a 200-point plan to ease the country's bureaucratic burdens” www.dw.com/en/german-le...

Sounds like one for @hyperfixedpod.bsky.social !

Wo sind die Frauen? Werden nur Männer befragt? #tödlicherspiel

Für mich ist das Ding beim #tödlichesspiel dass die Schauspieler sollen das wie ein Theaterstück spielen - sie spielen aber wie beim Seifenoper. Wird a bissel peinlich.

Hello @tortoisemedia.bsky.social Could you please tell me how to unsubscribe from your constant Observer Daily emails - which I never signed up for in the first place - when your unsubscribe link takes me to a *sign up* page with no option to unsubscribe? Even blocking your email doesn’t work 🤷🏻‍♀️

Remarkably simple solution. If you don't want the backing of the far-right for your immigration policy, or to have people point out that you have their backing, don't base your immigration policy on the far-right's rhetoric and ideology. www.independent.co.uk/tv/news/shab...

Where is the EBU getting the money to support all of these returners, I wonder?🤔

😭

So prawn cocktail, hamburger and lemon pie then. Very Korean.

Enough with holding the tiny microphones. Either clip them on or shout you arseholes.

Let’s not forget!

Now, I'm sure I've seen a similar aesthetic somewhere, but somehow kann ich einfach nicht meinen Finger drauflegen.

Marie's #LFF 2025 coverage continues with Janus Victoria’s feature debut Diamonds in the Sand Contrasting locations of Tokyo and Manila form part of Lily Franky’s journey in search of happiness.

@reesiepie.bsky.social #LFF 2025 coverge continues w/ A Sad and Beautiful World may be the most appropriate film title ever. Encompassing a relationship over decades in Beirut, is at times funnier than you would expect, but also very touching & grounded in reality. themovieisle.com/2025/10/13/a...

Marie's #LFF 2025 coverage continues with Calle Malaga - Set in the well-established Spanish community of Tangiers, Morocco, is touching, funny and sad, and gives an older woman agency at the centre of her own story.

Marie's coverage of #LFF 2025 continues with Christian Petzold’s new offering Miroirs no.3 - A broken family and an emotionally broken young woman are brought together following an accident, and lives start to be rebuilt - until the truth emerges.

Marie's coverage of #LFF 2025 continues with Romería - based loosely on writer/director Carla Simón’s own search to discover something about her deceased parents’ lives in 1980’s Spain after Franco.

Check out @reesiepie.bsky.social coverage out of #LFF 20205 with The Blue Trail.

Single-handedly 100% committed to getting @pizzaexpressuk.bsky.social to reintroduce the Soho to their menu instead of me having to beg nicely for them to make me one every time.

This has been on my reading list for a while, so no excuse now!

Trägt Edin den grauen Pulli, den Mama gerade beim Stricken war?#tatort

😯

Warte mal - sie heißt Schatz? 😆 #tatort

OK, das neue Tatortteam darf bleiben. Soooooo gut habe ich nicht erwartet. #tatort 😥

🕵️‍♂️ Für mich das beste Wort im aktuellen Frankfurter Tatort: „Hobbyschimanski“. 😄 #tatort #frankfurt #hobbyschimanski #krimi #sonntagabend

Me too. Following you for this - even though the film is *actually* just called Star Wars. 😄

'out of the three mass shootings today'

Mama hat ihr nichts gesagt? Fei wirklich?! #tatort

Doppel M auf Englisch? Nie davon gehört, und ich bin Muttersprachler #Tatort

Film Recommendation of the Day: EVIL DOES NOT EXIST. 10:05pm on BBC Four.

I’m not It isn’t. It should be, but you’re working very hard to ensure it isn’t.

In November Eurovision will vote on banning Israel. If 35 of the 68 countries vote to ban them they are out. Out of UEFA in October and Eurovision in November. Lets make it happen.
