Look at all these letters of membership cancellation!
ELF REEVES:
More than ever this year

“Dear Father Keir
I am writing to cancel my Labour Party membership…”
Awww how sweet

FATHER KEIR:
Well, I think we know what to give this good boy don’t we?
Elf Mahmood!

[Show SHABANA MAHMOOD as an elf poking her head round a doorway to afactory full of busy elves, above the door is a wooden sign reading CRAVEN RIGHTWING BULLSHIT FACTORY]
ELF MAHMOOD:
What.

FATHER KEIR:
Do we have any performatively cruel immigration stuff left?
9
ELF MAHMOOD:
We've got ‘stealing their belongings and a 20-year wait for settled status’…?

FATHER KEIR:
In the sack, please!
[Elves Mahmood and Reeves push the big sack into the sleigh as father Keir climbs in the driver’s seat]

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

America, there's something you should know.
The top three kinds of books that young people (under 25) offer to sell me on Dec. 26 are:
- "Chicken Soup for the _____"
- "Oh, the Places You'll Go"
- Books of New Yorker cartoons
I'm just saying. Keep it in mind for graduations and birthdays, too.

It's a really interesting essay - not entirely convinced, but it does a lovely job of unpeeling the Bedford Falls onion.
This is an almost shockingly wise essay. I'm glad I've finally read it.
There Is No Mary Problem in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’
George’s vision of his wife without him is essential to the film, but critics continue to miss its true—and profound—meaning.
