7 reasons why The Thing (1982) is a Christmas film:

1) snow
2) bearded men concealing surprises
3) compulsory party games
4) introverts shunning group activities
5) digestive issues
6) revellers bursting open to reveal partially assimilated canine lifeforms
7) knitwear

No Sainsburys, I won't scan my receipt to leave the shop. I've paid for my shopping and fulfilled my half of the contract. You can't trap me in the shop, if your gates break, that's on you

Hang onto your butts. This “correction” is gonna hurt.

I definitely pictured the future by this point as more "radiant beam of light transforms objects" and less "taking my watch off for a wank because otherwise it will somehow track it as cycling"

NEW: Federal judge dismisses Drake's defamation case against Kendrick Lamar storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The issue in this case is whether "Not Like Us" can reasonably be understood to convey as a factual matter that Drake is a pedophile or that he has engaged in sexual relations with minors. In light of the overall context in which the statements in the Recording were made, the Court holds that it cannot.

Listen, I grew up in the 80s, the era of Gummi Bears, Dogtanian, Round The Twist & Willy Fogg, which is how you should know how dead serious I am when I say that imo this is unrivalled: www.youtube.com/watch?v=P75q...

Yeah, maybe I'd hyped it up too much with my love for it, but I suppose they just didn't get any of the cues because they didn't grow up with wonky cheesy live broadcasts. It is SUPER. SO pitch perfect. Maybe it'll be re-embraced as an Analogue Horror, albeit one that was hyper modern for its time.

Kids were unmoved when I showed it to them. It might be a generational thing that it only really gets under your skin if you grew up with every single visual cue it uses you telling you 'this is a real, wonky, cheesy live BBC broadcast, and everything here will be true but also safe and fine'
