And you get to think about indoors for a while without feeling any pressure to deal with the garden before the seasons change. Fingers crossed it all falls into place now the hard part's over!

It's not perfect by any means and the Netflix budget does not stretch to some of the CGI, but it's just pure cinema. Theatrical runs for more streaming films please.

I saw Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein last night. Imagine watching that on your telly.

I can't believe how long it's taken, but I'm so happy you're finally getting there! Congratulations from another "I will die in this house, I'm never doing that shit again" type.

As much as I think the trailer for Emerald Fennell's version suggests she fundamentally doesn't 'get' the book, I think she might be the only filmmaker who might understand it's fucking mental.

So, people are going to have to pass A level english to live here are they? I hope they study what I did at A level, Translations by Brian Friel, about the colonial evil of the English forcing people to adopt the English language

Thatcher would have been 100-years-old today. But she's not. She's dead. Enjoy yourselves.

Somebody tell me what job I should do next, please. Hearing rumours that the original dream of finding ancient tombs is hard to get into lately, what with the curses and all.

Actively disgusted by this cynical weaponisation of a tragedy. Opposing a genocide has nothing to do with what happened and I would go so far to say these words are incitement. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Would you regret not doing it? Because that's your answer.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Surely somebody who had to prove their competence and their worth again and again like Gail Kim did - and who made their name with matches against bigger opponents - should know better.

Anybody else occasionally sit down to update their CV and suddenly realise that they have no skills or abilities?

By the time I got to the front of the queue the cheapest SOAD tickets left were £142 each at the back of the stadium. I'll take my chances on the general sale or keep my money, ta.

shoutout to tumblr user kleinergeist for this post which is going straight into my powerpoint for Grendel day in my monster class this week

Highest 2 Lowest is a stressful watch, not least because everything and everyone is so carefully choreographed that even people you're meant to trust seem dodgy as fuck at points. I'm glad we've got Spike Lee but he drives me mad sometimes.

The extra attention and smiles you get from the staff when you're having dinner alone confound me sometimes. Mate, I'm ordering a pizza and reading a book about cults. This is my best life.

This would be the most glorious outcome, but if I'm Tony I'm not passing up the opportunity to say I did a show that outdrew that year's Mania.

There must be one somewhere at that time of year. Maybe somewhere the Fed had provisionally put a hold on.

If ever there was a time for AEW to stoop to WWE's level for counter-programming, it's to outdraw a Saudi WrestleMania. Do a stadium show in a city the fans can actually visit, have the whole indie weekender around. You know Tony's petty enough.

I’ve said it before and will doubtless say it again: I love that Hangman insists on always calling his title the MEN’S World Title. It immediately puts the women’s version on the same level. It would be great if the company as a whole followed suit.

I swear. It's important for accessibility anyway, but I personally want a transcript for your video so I don't have to watch the fucking video.

I don't really care if the future is short videos. I like words. Words have gotten me this far and I'm gonna stick with 'em for the duration

You almost can't believe Coppola got away with it. Something different sticks in my mind every time- this time it's the cut where the puncture wounds on Lucy's neck become the glowing eyes of the wolf. I fucking love it.
