Thom @thwphipps.bsky.social · 03/10/2026A successful movie, in that it convinced me that baseball is interesting. Lots of inexplicably compelling scenes of men on the phone. Mostly about what happens when you reduce men into numbers, with some bolted on scenes of the main guy with his boring kid. The ending feels mean spirited. I liked it 010
Thom @thwphipps.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Don’t want to be a God Bless The NHS Guy but in any other country, well, I might not be dead but my understanding is that I’d almost certainly be wandering around with a stoma bag, so 031
Thom @thwphipps.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I have a large and slightly asymmetrical scar on my stomach that is permanent evidence of an incredibly skilled practitioner practising their art on me. Isnt that mad 150
Thom @thwphipps.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Having one of my periodic hospital flashbacks and thinking how mad it is that five months or so ago i walked into a hospital and asked for help and a bunch of strangers cut me open and saved my life 161

Thom @thwphipps.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Wife’s away, so you know what that means… we watch MONEYBALL 000
Thom @thwphipps.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Episode 2: Oh no, your boyfriend is watching porn while you're asleep!!! Episode 20: hmm. turns out you are Ghislaine Maxwell 030
Thom @thwphipps.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Rewatching a bit of Industry. It's funny how the first couple of episodes are basically Finance Skins. And then it slowly turns into one of the great television horror stories of the 21st century 120
Thom @thwphipps.bsky.social · 02/10/2026The celebrity ones often are. Because they’re all already mates and nobody really cares about the money 120
Thom @thwphipps.bsky.social · 02/10/2026So theoretically, if the faithfuls were to vote off Jerry… Hannnah’s automatically dead? 000
Thom @thwphipps.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I’ve just recognised that Jerry Hall is the “you look fine” “I didn’t ask” babe from Batman 89 000
Thom @thwphipps.bsky.social · 02/10/2026This show is a machine designed to drive Ross Kemp insane 081
Thom @thwphipps.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I like how he’s always a bit apologetic when he tells a bloke he’s arresting him for murder 000
Thom @thwphipps.bsky.social · 02/10/2026SJ Parris uses this an awful lot in the Bruno books but whatever, I'll keep drinking that garbage 010
Thom @thwphipps.bsky.social · 02/10/2026What I like in a murder mystery show is when the writer occasionally treats themselves to a bit of "turns out the murderer was just mental" 220
Thom @thwphipps.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Funny running bit: any time a witness offers Foyle anything (tea, a chair to sit on) he always turns them down. no real reason for it 110
Thom @thwphipps.bsky.social · 01/10/2026It remains absolutely wild that the SECOND legacy reboot of a show that famously had a Game Of Thrones level disastrous finale the first time round has turned out genuinely good youtu.be/nTOf1FIsBcs?...youtu.beDexter: Resurrection | Season 2 Official Trailer | Paramount+YouTube video by Paramount Plus 120
Thom @thwphipps.bsky.social · 29/09/2026This victorian child ghost girl on Bakeoff is the most irritating contestant they've had in years 162
Thom @thwphipps.bsky.social · 28/09/2026IIRC it was fine. Really good Pirates-type slapstick train chase at the end. I think everybody was just a bit sick of Depp's whole Deal at that point 040
