Sounds like a good opportunity for me to rewatch the first three. It's been way too long, particularly for 12 and 13.

And I may even rewatch Oceans 8, which was pretty good too (first half anyway).

Where can I sign up for this important protest?

Say hello to literally the only protesters outside Tory conference this year

Are you offering to be the piggy correspondant?

Jon Walmsley @arghzombies.com · 2d

I'm impressed someone used what is likely their one and only opportunity to talk to one of the most famous and powerful people in the world, and they asked her that question.

I'd spend the time asking them about their involvement in the Disney movie EMPERORS NEW GROOVE.

Maybe someone should invent a 24/7 rolling Farm News channel.

This is why I wish I followed sports a lot more. Because when you read sports news it's all about people achieving things, teams working together, breaking records...

I think sports news is the only place you can go for positive news these days.

Well I'm a tea guy, not a coffee guy, but yes I'd agree. But I'd also not be surprised if my 70+ year old mother suddenly decided she quite liked cappuccino's now.

Jon Walmsley @arghzombies.com · 3d

I don't think that's a particularly weird age to get into coffee though.

Jon Walmsley @arghzombies.com · 3d

There's a lyric in a current Blossoms song I've heard in the radio a few times, and it goes "You got into coffee weirdly quite late" and I'm trying to decide what age is 'weirdly late' to get into coffee.

Weirdly early, sure. Like, an 11yo drinking coffee is weird. But weirdly late?

Amazing movie. Hope you enjoy it.

This dude has a great scream.

Most people are liars though.

There's no human on earth who would ever say "urgh, I'd hate to spend an evening like that".

Their Hitman game 1-3 (or World of Assassination, as it is now) is a contender for Game of the Generation, IMO. I'm more than prepared to believe that they'll do something interesting with the Bond game. The trailer has me intrigued.

Please use alt text when posting illustrations or photos or other images. I realize it feels like an inconvenience if you didn't ever do it at the other place, but folks who need it are a zillion times more inconvenienced every single day.

Jon Walmsley @arghzombies.com · 5d

I've still kept to my rule of not giving out Likes to posts with images missing Alt text. And there have been some zingers I've withheld it for. Yes, it's just a small thing but it does matter.

It's taken over 30 years of campaigning for an Oscar for stunt work to be approved, so if a 'best AI Actress' gets an Oscar it better not be until 2060. Ideally when I'm dead.

He was in a horror film 'Stitches' about 10 years ago and it played at Frightfest. He came along to do the introduction, which basically became a random improvised short comedy set before we (eventually) got to see the movie. It was all a good fun time.

It feels like every YouTube video I watch has an ad for the new TRON movie in it. I can't tell if I'm specifically being targetted for that ad, or if they're just spamming everyone on YouTube with it.
There's a near-zero chance I go and see it theatrically though, and i'm tired of Leto's face.

It's on the list.

I thought it was streaming on Channel4, but apparently I'm mistaken so I'll have to wait. But I'll get there.
