Osgood Perkins is one to watch, a slow burn horror that isn't boring for a moment is an achievement.

I've just watched 'Longlegs'. Which given the actual film's content, was marketed really poorly.

Possibly one of the best 'creepy' films I've watched for a long time without the overt need to rely on jump scares. Highly recommended for Halloween.

This has reminded me that i have been neglecting 'teeth day' in the gym.

Do you know that if you converted that $260 dollars to bags of nickels, you'd actually get an extra kilo for your money? But it might look less cool.

Actually Adrian, it was Captain Kirk's 'monster' that the mask was based on, a common misconception.

Can you fully trust someone who's never had a curry? (Apart from this sounding like OneShow segment - i think it's a valid question). The lack of curiosity and tolerance that this would necessitate, just in culinary terms is astonishing.

I shall start working on a Curry Focused CBT protocol (CFCBT)

The British Right are just in total freefall into savagery at this point

I've never had curry or a kabab and don't intend to.
British food is the best. English breakfasts, Sunday roasts, fish and chips, pies, pasties, scones.
Also, our national dish isn't a chicken tikka masala we only think that because a Labour MP said it decades ago to push multiculturalism.

Good evening sir, what's the age rating for the evening? My girls (9 & 11 - strange names i know but very fitting with their current ages) have grown up reading your books and listening to you voice them.
I'm comfortable with a bit of swearing, they can always tell me what the newer words mean.

Wow, that's a fair solo to attempt. Might be my weekend task too, at half speed!

Wow, this is bonkers (combined with the Mike Wazowski moment mentioned earlier).

Alex Preston @alxprestoncbt.bsky.social · 18d

I'm sorry, you are clearly mistaken, Vs. cannot be 32 years old. 12 maybe but....

What an absolute spoil of albums we got in the mid nineties.

I'll get my very old coat.

I saw this and felt similar. It's never a good thing for our quite broken prison system to permit something like this to happen (10 years in Forensic NHS).
That said, given that it has happened, I hope there is something salvaged by his victims knowing that he is no longer a threat or has any power.

Alex von Tunzelmann @alexvont.bsky.social · 19d

Not going to applaud a murder but I doubt anyone will mourn this disgusting man. I hope his victims find peace. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Thanks for the reminder. This is a fantastic film.

That one in the middle has a question that's more of a comment!

Tried it but it was just silly within the first fifteen minutes. With a child with such an allergic reaction, who wouldn't be carrying an epipen as routine.
I get suspension of disbelief but really!

Just snagged myself a little treat for next weekend. Front row seats at a @robinince.bsky.social gig. The perfect antidote to an autumnal lull.

Well CBT Blue Sky, it's finally happened, I'm teaching a new cohort of high intensity trainees that contains individuals too young to know who Columbo is.

It's a sad day indeed. Thoughts and prayers.

Just the still frame does not really do it justice though.

As a life long metaller I've honestly never seen the appeal in Maiden. Each to their own though.
This seems like an example of someone who's lost something they really enjoyed for no reason though.

This tweet has been doing the rounds on Twitter now that Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty.

If only someone had tried to investigate UKIP & Russian interference 🧐

There’s another timeline where the Guardian supported me, doubled down on the investigation & I look 5 years younger ..
