Heads up for them that wants it, looks like BBC Two is doing horror movies premieres on Friday nights for the next few weeks - Immaculate starts in five mins, The Substance is on next week, Longlegs the week after that... (and presumably on iplayer)

Oh, I really should get sorted to check these things. The signal to noise ratio is too high. Idly wondering if the schedules are announced far enough in advance to make a rogue podcast to complement it a thing (here of course it'll be there'll be tons of these I've not bothered to find)

I miss the days of film seasons on telly or better yet moviedrome. Not of course that id actually get myself organised to watch them these days, on demand and physical media is so much more convenient

Is it not worrying that people are happier to spend 72 million on a frog faced hate monger"s grift than just saving people from actual drowning, regardless of who they are (including that very good boy, the Labrador)

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"
Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer):  You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.

Ten years on from Brexit there are still no rules to prevent lies in election ads. We’ve tabled amendments to stop election ads like the infamous Brexit bus misleading voters again. Email your MP and ask them to sponsor them. It takes 1 minute. 👇 reformpoliticaladvertising.org/take-action/...

As always with these things it's worth popping a personal note at the top of the form email, shows the MP that it's more than just a well meaning share... But if you don't have time please do just fling it out.

Happy Star Wars Day. Here's your annual reminder that "May the Fourth be with you" was invented by the Tories to celebrate the election of Margaret Thatcher.
The first recorded reference of the phrase being used was on Thursday May 3, 1979, the day of the 1979 United Kingdom general election, in which Margaret Thatcher was elected as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. To express their support before the votes were counted, her political party, the Conservatives, purchased a half-page advertisement on page 13 of the London Evening News reading "Dear Maggie, May the Fourth Be with You. Your Party Workers."[6][7]

Tories using footage of Bloody Sunday to promote the british army is it? Looking forward to this definitely receiving the same level of scrutiny and outrage Polanski's post has the past few days.

The ou is an absolute gem. For various reasons I didn't gel with uni at the usual time, through the ou I got (and mostly loved getting) my English degree. The hike in fees from 600 quid a module to 3000 almost scuppered it.

in 2017 a popular twitter game was to type a partial phrase then see what your phone auto-completes it with.
this proved so popular that it is now the only business model in the US.
