My Roman Empire:

Sheffield United fans said Jayden Bogle wasn't good enough for them in the Championship, yet Leeds are in the Premier League and he's *too good* for US!

Very off-brand, isn’t it?

I suppose it helps that we don’t we have any other options right now. I’d like to think he’ll chew bench when Willy & DJ are back, but I guess we’ll see about that.

The narrative seems to be changing a smidgen on Aaronson - so many people are now at the point where they accept he doesn’t offer any much but they’re willing to give him props for nothing because he’s a nice enough guy & criticising him is tiring and pointless. He’s officially failed upwards.

Davy Jones in The Brady Bunch Movie is the greatest movie cameo of all time, argue with the wall. AND it gave us the thumb dance.

I started watching RuPaul’s Drag Race back when it was aired in the middle of the night on channel 4 and let me tell you, 30+ seasons down in various formats and it’s basically just a weekly rehash of Mrs Cummings’ teachings in The Brady Bunch Movie.

Two of the films which go in and out of the four faves are (obviously) The Brady Bunch Movie, and Troop Beverly Hills. Both star the incomparable icon Shelley Long. Betty Thomas - who directed The Brady Bunch Movie - played the villainous Velda Plendor in Troop Beverly Hills.

Love that for me.

The 4th spot on my #Letterboxd Four Favourites often chops and changes between about 5/6 specific films, but I do think the current four are my most Melly-coded. #filmsky

Yeah, why does MARCIA get everything?!

Current Letterboxd four favourites - The Goonies, Dirty Dancing, The Wedding Singer, and occupying the hotly contested 4th spot is The Brady Bunch Movie

He seemed relieved to be fired. Not sure what what Orta told him he was getting into, but I don’t think it was an accurate description.

It’s a limited release. I’m hoping Metrocentre gets it. Limited release often means London and Manchester only 😒

Oh, this sounds promising. I liked the first film but thought Glass Onion was garbage.

RIP Ed Gein, you would have loved Minge Funerals.

Mindy Kaling and Danny McBride absolutely kill me in that film. The actors were truly game as badgers to make fun of themselves.

Javi Gracia’s time at #LUFC was short and not especially sweet, but I found him to be naturally very likeable - hope his latest spell at Watford is a good one.

The streets have probably forgotten Michael Bridges (cool as fridges).

I missed the collection cut off so I did my “be disarmingly nice to the customer service people” charm offensive thing and she had a really good rummage around for it. Practically catapulted it through the hatch when I mentioned having covid, like.
