Late to the party with Severance. I thought it would be a frustrating ‘Lost’ style endless series of open questions, but no.
S2 E7 ‘Chikhai Bardo’ is the best episode of television that I have watched in some time.
$200 million well spent for the production design alone.

Insomnia is a hell of a drug.

With the old licences you could eat a yoghurt in a windswept car park, while crying about your divorce and the fact you have to wait until next Saturday to see the kids. The new one is flimsy shite. I demand a better class of plastic.

Wonderfully put. Peerless work. A great shame- they don’t make ‘em like that anymore.

I used to think that Struzan was second only to Saul Bass when it came to film posters but his work is so inextricably linked with a very long run of iconic films that are lodged deep in the psyche of Gen Xers that this usurps any claim of superior design

Drew Struzan, Iconic Movie Poster Artist and Favorite of Spielberg and Lucas, Dies at 78

He created some of the most memorable movie posters of all-time in his own signature style as Steven Spielberg and Guillermo del Toro pay tribute.

This can- and I cannot stress this enough- fuck all the way off

The government plans for digital ID are more far-reaching than previously implied; required to access child care, welfare & housing support, to rent or buy a home, buy a pint, join a library, enrol your children in school, to apply for a job, open a bank account and "much more besides".

Fuck this.

I’m unashamedly shaming the shameful DC perverts.

As a middle aged man I endorse this message. Shoving Batman paraphernalia up your arse would make that nice sit down tough, and so I entirely reject that comic book lifestyle.

There’s an inherent eroticism in that. No fetish wear required.

I’m glad that we live in a world where people are free to exhibit their eccentricities guilelessly, but I cannot imagine posting this online.
It’s like a fetish wear demo. Do comic book guys fuck wearing this stuff? Is that what this is?
Like the puppy people?

I still can’t spot a typo before I hit ‘reply’. Some things never change.

You’ll have to request a download link from the team. It’s worth it.

I worked in a hotel with a reception manager who used to put a Christmas tree up in reception every August ‘to advertise Christmas events’. I repeat, in August.
Prick.

Disappointing lack of apostrophe in ‘Hallowe’en’. You’re obviously not a patriot.

This is the only time of year that I ca get away with keeping the bodies on the lawn.

Watching the Alien 3 Legacy Cut- a five years in the making fan project to correct the janky cgi, colour correct the negative and to combine the best elements of the assembly and theatrical cuts.

It’s a miracle that it’s this good. Definitive. A far superior Alien film to Aliens.

That made me snort too. You can hear the white noise of decline in his voice, but it’s like the clouds have parted and god himself is being interviewed.

Hermann Göring was a narcissistic homovestite, he was obsessed with being awarded medals and honours, with grotesque bling, treated underlings like shit, married multiple times, insisted on a disgusting level of opulence, and was mad with power. He also wore makeup

Does that remind you of anybody?
