I did not expect Richard E. Grant to become the worst, most blundering Traitor in the history of the show just a few minutes after being chosen.

Morgana O'Reilly navigating the Taskmaster New Zealand house while it's packed full of objects starting with the letter B that she is not allowed to touch is one of the most breathtaking feats of athleticism, cleverness, and catlike grace i have ever seen.

There is something strange going on with the average rating of Battleship Earth on Letterboxd at the moment... letterboxd.com/film/battlef... @letterboxd.social

Current ratings curve of Battelship Earth on Letterboxd, which has mostly half-star and one-star ratings, but somehow supposedly averages to an average rating of 3.4

Thanks to @blakethinks.bsky.social (I hope I am not @-ing the wrong person) for talking about Schygulla-esque glamour in a Sight and Sound review for Camp Miasma. Let's turn that phrase into something we all commonly use!

I love this show so much, and I am happy it's finally back. (I got this one after clue two, by the way.)

A connections clue from Only Connect. The four clues are:
WARNING: Cape Canaveral; WARNING: Napalm on detonator; WARNING: Chickpea nutrients; WARNING: Egomaniac ornament.

This is exactly the kind of question an AI search engine should, in theory, be useful for - and then it omits Marilyn Monroe, of all people.

Google AI is given given the prompt to name all people who are mentioned in both Billy Joel's 'We Didn't Start the Fire' and Madonna's 'Vogue'. It claims there are only four: James Dean, Marlon Brando, Joe DiMaggio, and Grace Kelly.

It sounds crazy, but I guess when somebody tells you their only mistake was a Nazi tattoo, its possible they actually made a series of other mistakes that did not happen to produce a Nazi tattoo.

Fun fact: We nearly had a riot in the cinema when, towards the end, a guy sitting in front of me got out his phone and started to film a brief portion of a scene, which led to a guy sitting behind me throwing stuff at him until a woman next to him reprimanded him.

I hate to say it, but the first thing that comes to my mind when I hear the name Rex Reed is the time he apparently fell asleep during Cabin in the Woods, hallucinated a plot about video game testing, and wrote a scathing review that is still online today. observer.com/2012/04/cabi...
