Given the picture they've used to illustrate it, the headline should probably finish "... and they're out for revenge!"

Headline "Green turtle bounces back from brink in conservation 'win'" and a picture of a well-angry looking Green Turtle. Like proper angry.

I'll have a word with Zarah Sultana

James Parker @jamesgroundshatter.bsky.social · 5d

That feels like it would have been more cost effective

I'm going to put it out there to the universe (and to a greater extend to Universal). I'd be very happy to make Fast-X-2 for $150m

Film Stories @filmstories.bsky.social · 5d

Two years after #FastX, its sequel still hasn't been greenlit by Universal - and keeping its budget to $200m is said to be the sticking point.

We're only half way through the decade there's time for at least two more Beekeeper films

Dave Levitan @davelevitan.bsky.social · 8d

One Battle After Another has been getting a lot of “best movie of the decade” talk, and I’m inclined to agree but I’m curious — what’s the competition?

Weirdly Tom Hanks is well up for it, it's Beasley the Dog that's holding out for the big bucks.

James Parker @jamesgroundshatter.bsky.social · 9d

Fuck's sake Aaron Eckhart. If you'd mentioned this sooner, we could have done some kind of colab!

All pockets are gravity assisted, that's why your keys don't continually fly out and hit you on the side of the head.

James Parker @jamesgroundshatter.bsky.social · 11d

is it "play action" or "playaction" though?

I remember when every branch of Target had its own moist locker...

James Parker @jamesgroundshatter.bsky.social · 11d

I can't 100% remember if I'm goading you into making game or goading you into NOT making a game. But either way the money is either waiting for you or - crucially - not waiting for you.

James Parker @jamesgroundshatter.bsky.social · 11d

I've got* 11 billion quid to spend on it... if you're interested, that is?

I've got one. "8 out of 10 people on this game show probably aren't okay with the state sponsored murder of a journalist... does Countdown"

The team have knocked it out of the (dog) park with this new DLC, if you've ever been a fan of Fights in Tight Spaces, this renews a whole bunch of things and will hopefully draw you right back in.

I bought and drank an energy drink - it's quite nice - but it's also made (as I learned subsequently) by a noted manufacture of nicotine products so I'm not going to advertise them here #hero #notactuallymakinganydifference

The Joker?

Matt Reeves has explained his thinking behind which villain to go with for the hotly anticipated The Batman 2, teasing it’s “never really been done in a movie before.”
