5 reasons why The Shining is a Christmas movie 1. Snow 2. Red rum 3. Hyperactive kids 4. Big snuggly jumpers 5. Huge family row ending with someone putting an axe through the door.

He got a fantastic assist too but I do agree with the sentiment. There were better players. Szoboszlai was excellent as was the defense

Yeah clichés definitely have their place too! I think it's all about using them with intention and knowing your audience

Agree completely! I think a lot of people are mixing up tropes and clichés

I leave my computer chair unattended for a few minutes and get usurped

"You're asking too much! I have a LIFE, you know!" I scream at this recipe that requires the butter to be softened in advance.

Watching Annihilation and about to hit the bear scene. I genuinely don’t think there’s a scarier monster in modern horror. I love this movie. I hate this bear (in the most loving, horror geek way possible).

Shocking as it sounds, it’s quite possible people prefer the civility and community of Bluesky over being force fed some cooked up algorithm concocted by a bombastic billionaire to amplify trolls, bots, and miscreants. Imagine that!

Stephen King once compared writing a novel to crossing an ocean in a bathtub. Not related to writing but David Bowie also talked about how he was never sure of what he was creating was any good. So yeah, I think it's normal to feel a bit lost most of the time.

The dirty little open secret to writing is that no one will ever know, nor care, how many drafts of a thing were written - people will only ever care about the crafted thing, and will, despite all knowledge to the contrary, assume it came out fully formed that way. No one thinks about shit drafts.
