Yes! So, so rich, I really want to see it again, I think it'll have a lot to reward a second watch...

Surprising nobody, I am squarely in the camp of people that think Digger is a masterpiece and an excellent, extremely cinema-worthy experience.

Looks like there was a terrible fire in the marketplace in Kingston last night - traders there are part of the backbone of the town, so this must be devastating. Really hope everyone gets the support they'll need, but wtf...

I never did work out where it went in my rankings but I think probably still quite high...

When I queue for a gig for nine hours people are always *astonished* and like, "I could *never*", but at least at the end of it I get...a whole gig... www.theguardian.com/culture/2026...

They have changed the new happy/angry faces on one of the local 20mph speed limit things and they are SO cute and also SO happy/angry, I find them very motivating

Eh, repeating the specifics I have an issue is creating and exacerbating the exact problem I am being cross about, time to put the internet down for a bit.

It's weird, it's like the need for a named narrative villain to give a story traction.

The way it's possible to see it so many multiple times over with so many individuals in so many spaces in just this calendar year alone, it is utterly maddening...

I have to give it to this FT piece, for every opinion article would be 100% better if it included this line: "Or maybe none of that’s true. Maybe it’s just me." A Londoner’s guide to hating London - giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/... via @financialtimes.com

Big push from YouTube to get YouTubers to advertise YouTube Premium, but the stuff they've told them to mention is odd. I would do a much better ad. Here, I'll do it for free: YouTube Premium makes YouTube work like it's 2012 (compliment), and it pays creators a not-entirely-unreasonable amount.

Alas, it does seem to be the way, and really that's how the whole sausage gets made, isn't it, preying on the desperation for workplace charisma?

I like my wild main character energy on a stage, preferably in a theatre or participating in music, either way, where it belongs: in the arts.

I remain haunted by someone quite senior enthusing at me, starry-eyed, by how simply ~wonderful it was when Altman came in to lecture them on the wonders of AI about 3 years' ago. His "energy", how "exciting" he was, and ugh, how can people not have encountered this before in life?

Basic Netflix is just unwatchable now, it has so many ads. It's like streaming has forgotten where it came in: American TV was unwatchable amounts of ads. And none of us can sustain multiple subscriptions, we aren't going to, so is my one month in 4 really going to be better for you, Netflix, is it?

I also super enjoy Vito dancing any time. We ended up a bit distracted by how this related to the latest Toy Story, though...

Oh I think that's my favourite so far tonight, delightful to watch. A bit strange to have two people being Zac Efron tonight, of all our movie stars, and neither time is it High School Musical... (Also, Zendaya should do another musical)

P has never seen Sound of Music, I think this year we should probably watch it. She also said she'd never heard all of Edelweiss, just the bit Margo sings in The Good Life XD

Carlos dancing anything is my favourite, I love him so. But I am sad he's growing the blond out.

Treating myself to going through the Yuletide Evidence Posts in the admin DW because very little is as soothingly well-organised as this elderly small fandom tradition, it warms my heart just enjoying everyone following instructions and being fairly and seriously considered <3
