Don't get me wrong. It's a good problem. But I'm thinking the number for X is probably 2, now.

Julien Allen @julesark.bsky.social · 20/04/2025

Don't think that really reduces the anxiety. I mean just having more than one would be psychologically taxing to start with.

I would obviously rather have Danny DeVito around a hundred different times than SS once, but 100 Danny DeVitos in one go, I don't think I could take.

Julien Allen @julesark.bsky.social · 20/04/2025

Would the x Danny DeVitos be all at the same time? This has a considerable bearing on my own answer.

They are a guilty pleasure! Not because they are badly written (the contrary) but because they are so very aspirational (independently wealthy jet setters) 😊

They set their store out hiring Brian De Palma for the first one. They were going to let talented expressionistic sensurramic auteurs do their thing with the material. On reflection it was a brilliant idea. The last four have been directed by Chris McQ I think. They're much more po-faced.

I've also loved John Woo ever since a retrospective in the main quarter in Paris while I was at uni. Woo is playing with his own aesthetic with this film and as usual gets lovely performances from the heavies: Dougray Scott and especially Richard Roxburgh. "Aa braouwk hiz jaw."

The ratio between preposterousness and believability in this series is remarkably small. It has a way of making you want to go with it.

Either Vanilla Sky or MI:2. I think he has even more hair in MI:2

got banned for life from the TaleSpin forums for suggesting that Baloo in TaleSpin is NOT the same bear as Baloo in The Jungle Book. People were screaming at me to shut the fuck up even though I provided EVIDENCE

Screenshot of Baloo the Bear in The Junglebook. The image clearly shows Baloo has PAWS

Nobody should take particular pride in going to an Ivy League school (it’s fine, whatever, congrats your parents had money to spend), but it’s especially unseemly to brag about or even mention it when you’re past 30. That’s more than enough time to have actual accomplishments.

Similarly, the mere need to even impose such a ban is preposterous, as it should obviously be disqualificatory at the ballot box anyway, but in this age of Trump, it isn't. If you're a criminal and commit crimes but you are also a politician, you get to condemn the courts for doing their job.

Julien Allen @julesark.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

I loathe and fear the far right, Le Pen, Bardella, Zemmour, Marion Maréchal and the rest. But wherever it appears in the report, not to comment on the constitutional ability of a court to ban someone from running for office would be egregious.

Thanks Scott, we hope you'll enjoy Fairy Moon, which will be playing at a festival or two near you this summer, with any luck.

He also has a good understanding with his UBB clubmate Penaud, where they both join each other on the same wing, or swap wings, during a phase attack, and it destabilizes opponents. All round he is maturing very well and taking us away from the stereotypical winger who waits on his wing.

Julien Allen @julesark.bsky.social · 09/03/2025

It's the speed, sure, but the accuracy of that boot - his conversion rate on that grubber is phenomenal. He's also added tackling. He's impatient to be the best.

Julien Allen @julesark.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

It's too early to say, really, but he looks like maybe he's the best in the world at what he does. Statistically for club and country, he almost certainly is.

It's often said, but it isn't true, that Citizen Kane is Donald Trump's favourite film. I wrote a paragraph two years ago addressing how little the former had to say about the latter.
