It’s a Hamster Book Club/Too Hot for TV crossover as we take a look at Doctor Who tie-in media’s efforts to tackle mental health. These pics probably tell you how well it goes. @docoho44.bsky.social @toohot4tv.bsky.social
Publicity photo of the cast of Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace The cover illustration from an apparently useless dictionary of devils and demons Satan as depicted in South Park Gillian Anderson in a boob tube and single sleeve pointing a toy rocket at her own open mouth. This depicts science fiction as designed for heterosexuals.

"Fucking reform leaflet" is a good cryptic crossword clue for "FELLATE".

‘TRON: ARES’ has earned $14.3M in its opening day at the domestic box office.

For comparison, ‘MORBIUS’ opened to $17.3M.

You may think it’s pathetic to cry at a video game, but the achievement for completing the main story in Red Dead Redemption 2 is called “Eternal Summer”.

Re: last repost - one of my favourite characters in Last Jedi is Canady. Only in it briefly but he's that old Imperial captain back doing the star wars, always totally aware he's following shit orders from young morons. And even when it kills him, this - he'd do it all again, the old fash bastard.

still amazing to me the number of movies, games, etc. which have Venus Flytrap-based creatures in some form compared to the actual native range of Venus Flytrap, which is like, the great untamed jungles of a few wet pine savannas in North Carolina

This reminds me that the only frog that “ribbits” in the classic manner is the Pacific Treefrog. But it just so happens to live around Hollywood, so it ended up in the nighttime soundscapes of tons of movies.

Fun music game.

Take two songs with the same name and post your combined score out of 10. How high can you get?

No covers/no triples (e.g. Power of Love)

My first effort, which i think is hard to beat...

Zombie (Fela Kuti) 10/10
Zombie (The Cranberries) 7/10

Total score: 17

Pretty confused by how TRON became a big-budget movie franchise. Was it a bit hit when it came out? No. Did it become a big hit on video/TV? Also no. Do people have fond nostalgic memories of it? Eh kinda but not really. Was it secretly great and critically acclaimed? No again

Hamster Book Club - The Eyeless by Lance Parkin - a surprisingly bleak, dystopian world with huge things to say about war, weapons of mass destruction, genocide and scientific responsibility...aimed at children? @lefthandeddalek.bsky.social

Alan Moore to literally anyone offering an opinion on Alan Moore.
a man in a plaid jacket and tie is saying " i feel bad for you "
Alt: Don Draper and that little guy in Mad Men doing the “I feel bad for you”/“I don’t think about at all” exchange. Stone cold.

I watched Morbius the other day and, while it’s not the turkey everyone says, he is an absolute void at the centre of it.

You can definitely track how the minimum wage has gone up but most other wages have stagnated by how everyone now feels a pint has got rather pricey.

🫣 Profits are for wimps. Revenues are for losers. Ideas sell, not fundamentals

Over half the Nasdaq market is loss making. About 1-in-8 companies have no revenues

There are a lot more in these camps than in the past
