Bookies say it's as likely as the Steelers winning the next Super Bowl, which is way more likely than I expected

I personally don't even think the USA will make it to the R16

[brandon* @brndxix]

someone in nfl terms tell me how likely the USA is to win the world cup

VAR has absolutely done Stockport today, fair play

I was always on the "it's not the tech, it's how it's used" side, but we've had it for years and refs are still making obviously shocking decisions while staring at a 4k replay

Storytelling 101, your culprit is never going to be a mysterious big bad you've never met - it'll be the nice guy who's been there from the start who's desperate to see his daughter again.

Grief, loss and parenting are literally the key themes of the game. It's right there

[Jamie Williams @JamieWilliams1_]

Geeky post but I just finished Deltarune & assumed everyone would have worked out that Rudy is the Knight but apparently this is a niche belief

[Jamie Williams @JamieWilliams1_]

I wonder if there's any historical precedent for a group of black people who want enforced separation from whites and a group who want integration no matter the personal cost

[Jamie Williams @JamieWilliams1_]

Not just this - so much of the film is about black communities and who fits in them. Do people who pass as white fit? Do the Irish? Asian-Americans?

Sinners shows us a multi-racial 'utopia' outside and a protected black space inside and doesn't tell us which one is 'right'

Funniest equaliser of all time, what an ending

[DUNE @dunemovie]

The Academy Award® for Best Sound goes to #DuneMovie. Congratulations to Gareth John, Richard King, Ron Bartlett, and Doug Hemphill!

[Jamie Williams @JamieWilliams1_]

1. The actual best film of the year is I'm Still Here.

The film's form (quiet, slower pace, bittersweet) and subject matter (uncertainty, emptiness) align so well.

An affectionate presentation of how normalised atrocities can feel when you're living in a real-life dystopia.

[Jamie Williams @JamieWilliams1_]

My ranking of the Best Picture nominees at #Oscars2025

2. Conclave
3. Dune: Part Two
4. Nickel Boys
5. The Brutalist
6. Anora
7. The Substance
8. Emilia Pérez
9. Wicked
10. A Complete Unknown

[Jamie Williams @JamieWilliams1_]

2. Fiennes is absolutely fantastic in this, holds the entire thing together. A tense political thriller that takes itself seriously but knows that its characters are fundamentally unserious.

If it's this or Anora, then I'm Team Conclave.
