Remade Amadeus

Watched High Noon earlier. Watching Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom now. He is, in the very purest sense, a dad in his 40’s in the week between Christmas and new year

Quite an achievement to write an entire feature on costume without crediting designer, director or actor, or even using the term 'Costume Designer' #nakedwithoutus www.theguardian.com/fashion/2025...

“Guys should we let Unc cook?”

Tottenham play football like me when I try and go up a difficulty level on Fifa

Watching Spurs with my teenage son and his friends. Throwing in an "Unc is chopped" whenever the camera cuts to Thomas Frank. I think they appreciate it

The blow job scene in The Scarecrows’ Wedding was vulgar, unnecessary, far too long, disturbingly explicit and yet, as you would expect from the talented artisans involved, gorgeously animated

Watching THE GREEN KNIGHT again

Parents got me a book of inspirational art quotes by noted sexual abuser Neil Gaiman

He’s making a list He’s checking it twice He’s gonna start mining Arrakis for spice

Christmas isn’t it

A huge day for the advent calendar community

"This is a funny, sumptuous, intelligent take on the play..." Joe Barton's five-part series about Mozart and Salieri's rivalry, Amadeus, is streaming now on Sky Atlantic. Read our review: www.empireonline.com/tv/rev...

My kids are making me watch a terrible Christmas movie and I’m telling them the story about how its writer tried to screw me over in an arbitration once (they don’t care)

Feels like something The Grinch would say

It’s a tradition

The end of A Christmas Carol is clear that Scrooge became famous for his generosity and love of Christmas. And yet his name is still shorthand for miserliness. So really that whole story is proof that you can change all you want but people will still remember you at your worst

Amadeus: a remake actually worth doing The new TV adaptation of Peter Shaffer’s 1979 play is cuttingly comic with a more modern feel. By Pippa Bailey

That’s every day, you little shit

Stealworkers

oh yes

Eat shit Keown

Hearing that the bottlers are at it again

The Pillion movie should have done a tie-in meal deal with Subway and Dominos

Loved chatting to Cole about one of my very favourite films (and books)

Roleplay idea: I am Joe Pesci, covered in a horrible goo. You are suffering a deep mental health crisis which has led you to lose your home and family. You throw a pail of birdseed atop me. Pigeons descend.

‘There was rage and pain and iron in him’: Patrick Marber on the great hits – and fond smokes – he had with Tom Stoppard

@pilottvpod.bsky.social Getting a personalised shout out every time Arsenal win a game is the worst thing you've done to me since Kay spoiled the Bake Off final

Jay Lycurgo BIFA winner! Jay takes on my spurs season ticket when I can’t make it. No one deserves to experience a win more

You fuck one penguin and they never let you forget it www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The Chair Company and Pluribus: Examinations of lost people mentally unravelling as they hunt for answers in liminal space America

(sad) “a sumptuous feast of football”

Googling ‘are Paris good at football?’

Death by Lightning on Netflix is a lot of fun. Has a moment when a character says the title and basically looks down the camera and winks but you can allow that

Going to have to now suffer the poshest most private school gooners talking about ‘our ends’ and ‘man like Eze’ but that is our cross to bear. This is the life we chose

You know what I don’t think I WILL visit Rwanda actually

I mean, they beat us every year and it never does them any good

We’ve scored from the halfway against them two games in a row and won a Europa league so that’s equal bragging rights shut the fuck up

That should be worth 3 goals and the final whistle being blown

Well that clears that up

Confirming for anyone listening to latest @pilottvpod.bsky.social that I do indeed enjoy the word ‘gooner’ being used in its new context. Tho would argue with @boydhilton.bsky.social that the meaning has changed as to my mind it’s always been a descriptor for a group of massive wankers

Oi oi www.netflix.com/tudum/articl...

Hey the Nazis did this to my grandparents so this sounds cool @teamlabouruk.bsky.social
