Every time someone links to this film, I have to repost it. It's one of the most significant bits of British 20th century art. Everything about it is incredible. Groundbreaking music production by Daphne Oram. Amazing camera work by Wolfgang Suschitzky (who later filmed Get Carter).-

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.

Extract from Private Eye: Bluesky also banned

THE government confirmed today that, despite being left off the initial list, Bluesky would be included in the social media sites banned for under 16s.

Said a Downing Street spokesman, "We're determined to protect impressionable teen minds from being exposed on Bluesky to friendly polite
conversation on topics ranging from the albums of Miles Davis to classic 70s Hollywood movies and the best era of Doctor Who."

He continued, "Filling teenagers' impressionable young minds with this genial chat is no way to prepare them for the hellish Al future that awaits them."

The second series of brilliant kids' supernatural anthology SHADOWS (1976) had one of the spookiest title sequences ever. It still blows my mind that Toast of Tinseltown did a direct homage for its titles. Talk about a deep cut. Knows his stuff, does Matt Berry!

This is a good observation I think. I always found it interesting that when Sinatra and a few others covered Yesterday, they could never bring themselves to sing the "I said something wrong" line. And changed it to "I must've said something wrong." As if that "implication" had always been there.

I guess this one must be Godzilla Plus One
A colour photograph of a young couple, with a tint to suggest it has aged. They are possibly Japanese, and have just been married, and are looking straight to camera. Oh, and Godzilla is wailing in a bay in the background behind them. The picture is captioned "Good luck finding a wedding photo better than this"
