I think one way to actually puncture Trump is if all the EU and UK countries withdrew from the World Cup. He cannot stand not being the cultural centre of things (hence the Trump-Kennedy Center) and I think this would actually hurt him

Big Brother and the Minority Report were good actually and should be combined into one machine run by AI

Maybe it's a generational thing (aka I'm old) but I really don't understand the mindset from certain queer people that they won't consume queer media unless it has a happy ending. Most recently encountered with people discussing Pillion which doesn't even have a sad ending, more bittersweet

You know when Faith possesses Buffy and practises talking like her in front of the mirror with variations of 'you can't do that, it's wrong'? That's what I'm reminded of when Keir Starmer says Trump is wrong to take Greenland and impose tariffs etc. it just all feels so fake and futile

28 Years Later was good. Now I might go see The Bone Temple at the cinema although Jimmy Saville cosplay makes me feel a little sick

I will say to the lovely HR boys to use the tenet of the fashion world and look at their weekly schedule and take one thing off before they proceed with the week. They don't need to do everything just because it's offered to them

Sorry not sorry but Hudson Williams model walk was bad. That's okay he's an actor not a model. We don't have to pretend everything him and Connor do is spectacular because we like HR. Let them be human

I hope they get the Hans Zimmer from the Interstellar soundtrack described by honest trailers as him 'falling asleep on his organ'. One of the worst OSTs of all time

I truly hope Drumpf dies in office because the moderate democrats need to see he is part of the machine and all the terrible stuff will continue without him and then they might face up to the need for radical change. If the Dems just beat Trump in an election it'll be business as usual

This is how I learned Joel Edgerton is Australian... usually I'm pretty up on these things but he's slipped through the net. I always thought he was a Brit
What’s your favorite cozy, comfort movie? ☕ Joel Edgerton, Park Chan-wook, Thora Birch, Hikari, Kleber Mendonça Filho, Kumail Nanjiani and more at the 2026 BAFTA Tea Party share their picks.

Artists, I think we're all too comfortable sharing our imposter syndrome.
I would love to see you step out of your comfort zone and confidently state what you think you're actually really good at.
No self deprecation, just what you think you're the strongest at
Is anyone brave eniough? 👀
