Oh my god, so is this film just the insufferable framing device that pretty much ruined Asteroid City for me turned up to 11?

And there was all those people who believed(!) Trump when he said he wasn’t following Project 2025…

If they can’t call it the Malaysian Grand Prix, not sure why they couldn’t have just called it “The Malaysian Grand Prix presented by Bahrain” or “The Bahrain Malaysian Grand Prix” unless it’s a contractual thing? Anyway great to see it back even if it’s just for this one season

An interview that just confirmed everything I suspected about Erasure, so lovely, such a great band. Stop! or Drama! methinks off the top of my head, though I actually love Fingers & Thumbs from their self-titled album of 1995 which is a song nobody talks about but me…

There’s one tourguide in the whole of Scotland and his wee name is Craig

Does he actually know what the word means anymore? If he ever did know the meaning in the first place.

I felt my brain oozing out of my skull by about a third of the way in. I stopped to preserve what’s left of my brain.

A friend and I talk about doing a cut-price bargain no-frills ghost experience and we’d need a ghost hunter - would you be fine being paid in lager?

The constant “we’re not ready, we’re not ready” reporting, that Wargame propaganda crap on Sky, now this: the media in this country desperately want us to be at war don’t they?

2 first time watches here - Mr Majestyk was great fun, written by the great Elmore Leonard with Bronson on top form; the other first time watch was…less fun - Return of the Shaolin Chef (aka Magnificent Natural Fists as I’d watched it), iffy unintentionally hilarious incoherent kung fu nonsense

Recent activity on my Letterboxd account, posters of the last 4 films I’ve watched:
Golden Ninja Warrior (1987, 1 star)
The Return of the Shaolin Chef (aka Magnificent Natural Fists, 1985, 2 stars)
Rocky 2 (1979, 4 stars)
Mr Majestyk (1974, 4 stars)

I’ve never wished I couldn’t see something quite as much as I wish I couldn’t see that

She must think being bi means you’re attracted to everybody in the entire world

A general one (no LPer in particular) but Alien Isolation - because I’m a big baby and it’d scare the fucking tits off me to play it myself. Watching the various videos of it is more than enough for me, especially as it’s clear the xenomorph AI is way too smart for me to just hide in a cupboard 😅

Irrational hatred as cringe - welcome to 2026. She’s a horrendous woman.

Funny Stephen, I thought of this comic when I started seeing the seemingly constant trailers for that bloody thing

I don’t want it for exactly the reasons you’ve listed there and more. I must be in the minority of fans who doesn’t feel they have to be pissed up to go watch football. We hear about this but no word about the disgraceful thuggish abuse directed at the RNLI Prime Minister?

Indeed 😂 It is much shorter than We Are the World though which is a huge plus in my book

Swedish Metal Aid - Give A Helpin' Hand (Nöjesmassakern 11th Oct. 1985) HD

No, this is still better than We Are the World… Have you ever seen Swedish Metal Aid? Never has there been so much hairspray and cocaine in one place - a veritable CFC ozone layer disaster in a single room youtu.be/k9ezf6rjtYE?...

Hang on, I thought we left the EU so we could be ‘sovrin’ and ‘make our own decisions’ without somebody else telling us what we can and can’t do? Hmm……

There is only one acceptable response to fascists and fascism

She could repeatedly smash Waluigi round the head with a computer keyboard - I’m in

One of many reasons I love Liverpool right there - it’s a city that generally doesn’t tolerate BS and can smell it a mile off. We need more of this. Young people like those 2 are reason why I haven’t completely lost hope for the future tbh.

Of course that’s why Sonic goes “gotta go fast” because he’s trying to catch up with David who’s just too quick for him

The attention to detail of going to the trouble of recreating the correct pattern on Jim fucking Ratcliffe’s pub (bore) chain breakfast plate is exquisite

Try going to North End every week - now that’s masochism. Seriously though, Spurs could’ve done with relegation, they may have woken up instead of management going into the season deluded that they’d make top 6 (they may still do, but the assertion it was an anomaly is staggering in its arrogance)

Probably tied with the Xbox One S controller as my favourite, definitely the best Sony have come up with IMO

That was Clive Swift. Clive Mantle was surgeon Mike Barratt in Casualty and David Horton’s younger brother in Vicar of Dibley who messes Geraldine around, the cad.

That we have him and bloody Botham in the HoL is just absurd. Remember getting blocked by him after calling him a cretin on Twitter after he’d written something that wasn’t even as outright bollocks as this crap. Not normally something I care about but was a proud moment.

He’s written and recorded some of the most wretched songs ever conceived, but always thought he seemed a really decent guy…until this whole episode

He’d still be confused and mistake him for that Prongles skateboarding pig and jibber about how once you pop that’s great

When some actual humans don’t have even the basic rights they should have, excuse me if I don’t give a shit about whether AI has ‘rights’ (which of course, the answer is No)
