It’s been an odd sort of year musically… https://t.co/aW6rWU2gwX

Sorry, but this is easily the best Wes Anderson since Grand Budapest

What’s truly horrifying is realising it must have been 25 years since I saw the former anniversary reissue of The Exorcist whilst at university https://t.co/MhNS4set86

This. This is what’s needed. Because some people’s cars are, clearly, too fat #autobesity https://t.co/5FBVeJpvzX

Surely no accident there’s a chase through a parade in #IndianaJones and the #DialofDestiny to mirror the Paddy’s Day scene in The Fugitive ‘93 - even the ticker tape pipers are playing the exact same march that soundtracks Harrison Ford as he evades Tommy Lee Jones in the latter

Whilst a number of headliners seem to be trading on past glories (the last good Artic Monkeys album came out TEN years ago) #Chvrches expose most of them for the tired acts they’ve become. Vital, widescreen electronica in glorious Technicolor https://t.co/zNPkLjVBEs #glastonbury

@thekelvingreen I'm really enjoying the Disney Willow series (I did see Willow when I was the right age appreciate it) and whilst the acting and the direction are pretty dire, it is just the right kind of lightweight, whilst being entertaining, and not to mention looking incredible.

@thekelvingreen I missed out on Ladyhawke when I would have been the right age to appreciate it. Finally saw it recently and I think my biggest takeaway was wondering how came to be how Ferris Bueller and Rumpold of the Bailey could be in the same film.

For your consideration this awards season.

Recently I learned about a man who has trained 1,000+ people to block wind and solar projects.

I read through all his training materials, presentations, and seminars.

Here's what I learned about him and how his students plan to "win the war on clean energy."

Overheard a university student say “Arctic Monkeys were my dad’s favourite band when I was little.” The passage of time is relentless, unfathomable, cruel, and unforgiving.

I've been asking AI to generate Games Workshop / Warhammer miniatures of people I'm not fond of and the results do not disappoint.
