Great piece.

They’re driving B mad

I am determined to like it enormously

Seeing it next week 😀

To paraphrase Bonnie Tyler (RIP) — where have all the good takes gone? It’s a poasting inferno out there and not in a good way. Boring takes, silly takes, redundant takes, onanistic takes. Myself included….so what’s the reason for this take famine? Is it the politics? The weather…

Next. Seafood pasta. By @columnist.bsky.social

Bluesky #food incoming, by @columnist.bsky.social … First up, seafood crostini (lobster, langoustine, prawn) in butter with parsley and a pinch of Old Bay.

Fozzie Bear as the ‘gods’.

Poast roast and not in a good way

On reflection, in the end etc, I think that a reviewer who’s expert in the source material of a film delivering a review which is broadly — I don’t like that film — is an editorial miscasting of the source material of the reviewer.* *It is of course fine not to like a film

Oh no!

This is a great point!

This is nicely done

Yet to see the movie but the classic Nolan example of this is Interstellar when they open the cryocapsule on the mysterious ice planet and everyone’s first thought is WHAT IS MATT DAMON DOING THERE
