Where do I even begin? I genuinely believe this is a far more interesting show than people are giving it credit for. That was superb execution with a KILLER last line. I’ve got many thoughts. Might have to put it in writing.

For the final time…until the next season. Now watching #Pluribus episode 9

Mark Ruffalo, forever shall be, a real one 👏🏾

Look, I’m happy Sinners came away with something from the #GoldenGlobes, but we all know it deserved far more. This is the equivalence of a “thank you for participating” award.

Whoo boy, things are definitely complicated now. Another great ep that hones in on nostalgia and how it’s used to break down Carol’s loneliness into reintegration. Can’t stress enough how good Rhea is here, keeping her cards close while diving deeper. Like a famous XF quote: she keeps you guessing.

Penultimate episode. Now watching #Pluribus episode 8

I could not believe this was a real article—because there are three movies and they’re all already in order—and yet, it’s real. An entire piece telling you to watch the films in the order they were released. Are they that desperate for articles? ew.com/how-to-watch...

A section of an upcoming script I'm doing on reactionary pop culture grifters like Nerdrotic and The Critical Drinker.

X is a Nazi cp app. Why any is still on there is beyond me.

Very interesting episode. Straight up pandemic vibes in how Carol goes about “enjoying” her freedom. But it’s also very revealing of the self-destructive tendencies of what isolation does to people, particularly with Manousos and his rainforest trek which was mad.

Let’s see what the hive are up to in this episode. Now watching #Pluribus episode 7

Thank goodness man cereal is here, cereal was getting way too feminine

🇳🇬🦅

Excited!!!

saturday’s mood 📖☕

There’s one moment in this ep where I HOWLED with laughter. Not only is it perfect casting, but it made me shout out: Vince, you mad genius! I love how this ep continues to pull the rug from underneath Carol, thinking she’s unto something but means nothing to the others. Like the isolation is REAL.

Friday night. Hive night. Now watching #Pluribus ep 6

I think most of us are aware of how awful X has become, but with the deepfake porn it has crossed a whole new line. So I wrote an email to the Dean of my dept. requesting we stop using X. He agreed immediately, and now the whole of the College is going to deactivate their accounts. Yes!

This 👇🏾

This is not the law.

Don’t tell me: a Jedi is gonna jump from their X-Wing mid hyperspace to skydive onto the planet and launch themselves into a lighsaber battle as soon as they land. Bonus points for any running during this sequence.

From the “peace on Earth” vibes to the flashlights in a darkened corridor as Carol sinks deeper into the mystery (or conspiracy), this episode was straight out of The X-Files. Mulder and Scully would be proud. Good stuff.

Now watching #Pluribus episode 5.

Ryan Coogler, the visionary filmmaker behind Black Panther and Creed, has officially joined an elite group of directors as he earns a nomination for the prestigious Directors Guild of America (DGA) Award for Directorial Achievement in Feature Film for his latest project, Sinners.

Do you know what I love about this show? Very much like Vince’s Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, it forces the audience to pay attention. So much of its storytelling is conveyed visually. It’s an artform and the payoff always delivers, revealing character and consequences. Ep 4 is no exception 👏🏾

Time to rejoin the hive. Now watching #Pluribus episode 4.

In the words of Dr Manhattan... It is 2026, and I'm saying goodbye to this cast of X-Men. It is 2014, and I'm saying goodbye to this cast of X-Men. It is 2006, and I'm saying goodbye to this cast of X-Men.

Better Call Saul Twin Peaks: The Return Watchmen (TV Series) Andor The Wire

Never mind all the charm and talent. That much of Isiah is always onscreen and utterly obvious. Instead, a last word to let everyone know what isn't evidenced on film: He was an even better person than he was an actor; a warm and gracious delight of a man. Goodbye, friend.

Mohamed Amoura teases the DRC fan posing as Patrice Lumumba following Algeria's extra time victory over DR Congo in AFCON R16 Absolute cunt, Lumumba was an important political leader before and after independence, and the first democratically elected Prime Minister of the Republic of the Congo.

I said it once, and I'll say it again: y'all doing too much. Let it go.

True Lies and The Abyss should be higher. Both are better than their scores.

Really enjoying #AFCON but one annoyance of the tournament is coverage. Channel 4’s 4 Seven broadcast is below SD quality (better via streaming but it’s 2026, why is it like that?), and zero pre and post commentary analysis. It’s the game and that’s it. The competition is still an afterthought.

Agreed.

And should have won.

Deserved 👏🏾

Carol…asking a hive mind for a grenade and then not believing it’s real when it is too late is MADNESS 😂. Another great ep which again test the boundaries of this invasion whilst revealing more of Carol’s personality amidst loss and self-destruction. Looking forward to the next ep. #Pluribus

Let’s see what new shenanigans are afoot with this mystery. Now watching #Pluribus episode 3

We are an unserious football club.

Last Christmas starring Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding. They went from ice skating in Ally Pally in North London to magically appearing in Regent’s Street, Central London. There are SEVERAL buses and tube stations you would have to go through before you end up at that destination.

"How do I get to Greenwich?" “Take this train. Three stops." That lady was clearly in league with the Dark Elves.

C'est magnifique! Loved how Truffaut captured the youthful adolescence of Antoine: equal parts joyful yet surrounding him a world where inconsistency and negativity are the norm. Loved how it’s also a low-key tourist trail around Paris. As an intro to French New Wave, consider me a fan.

Time for #FirstWatchSundays. Ever since I saw Linklater’s Nouvelle Vague at LFF, it got me curious about French New Wave cinema - a major blindspot for me. So, thanks for a few friends, they sent me a few recommendations and this choice was unanimous. Now watching #The400Blows

Look it’s totally fine if you don’t feel like it, I’ll share it again Monday or something. But if you’d like a frivolous diversion here is a story where I went to the stranger things finale in theaters and had a frank Reynolds experience where I finally Got It www.theverge.com/streaming/85...

Great episode. Howled with laughter at Diabaté’s entrance. Also great to get a sense check of how the hive thinks and operates. Really enjoying the scale Vince and co. are putting into this. The occasional silence and visual storytelling just pulls you deeper into the mystery. #Pluribus
