This sounds *amazing* and I have an excuse to spend several hours drinking wine in the kitchen? Win win.

Now wondering if there's a third example of "the bass player wasn't in the country so we just used a model for the video" to go along with this and the puppet version of Alan Lancaster in Status Quo's "Rockin' All Over The World" video...

Very much looking forward to this. Wasn't expecting much from 28 Years and it turned out to be one of my favourite films of the year.

Looks like Littledown Christmas Tree Farm is run by/employs a proud racist. People of Hastings may want to buy their trees elsewhere.
I think at this point if you're including Diane Abbott - a woman who has never held government office, has been a backbencher since 2020, and is scarcely a government ally - on your list of political wrongdoers, we all know exactly what your real concerns are

This is almost as bad as the sexy Blobby from this morning.
Jones Green Bean Casserole Soda (2004-2004): A sickly green soda made to taste like the divisive Thanksgiving side dish, with notes of earthy green beans, fried onions, and cream of mushroom soup. Sold as part of a novelty holiday-themed pack of sodas.

Just snorted coffee up my sinuses as I heard a colleague loudly pronounce a French surname, Bellande, with an Essex accent.

I find it hard to disagree with this.
The sad day has come when we have to choose a new Udo Kier, and given that I have been tasked with making the first nomination, I have decided to opt for Mads Mikkelsen. I look forward to your thoughts.

This sort of thing does bother me too.
I get annoyed when people do this, bit different.
I'm getting really annoyed by people quote posting other people and saying exactly the same thing only a tiny bit different.

A dog’s paw print on a Roman clay tile 🐾 🐕 😍

About 2,000 years-ago, a dog made its mark for ‘pawsterity’ when it wandered across the wet tile laid out to dry before firing.

Not a film but surely we all agree that series 4 of Hannibal needs to happen?
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

If you've not read the Rice Truck Saga, then settle down, this is a real treat.

If you have read it before, take a few minutes to reread as a distraction from *waves hands at everything*
4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.

On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day

So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga

As @mysteriosox.bsky.social mentioned, Paul Williams is an actual genius.

So of course he's appeared on the Muppets with another ridiculously catchy tune.
