I'm not blaming Friday 13th, but can't deny the timing lines up.

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now
Introduced my Star Wars-obsessed 11-year-old to the first two episodes of Red Dwarf last night to widen his sci-fi and comedy tastes.
He laughed like crazy and called me a smeghead on the walk to school, so I think it went down well.
Monday again then, is it?
Little bump for the Saturday night crowd...
I've had a lot of stuff going on recently, but finally got time to write the first Late Review of 2026.
Here's a few thoughts on King Of Comedy...
YouTube AI just offered to summarise (presumably the video and lyrics of), Birdhouse In Your Soul by They Might Be Giants.
Good luck with that, you daft cyber bastard.
A good day to post this.
One of the best takedowns of small-minded ignorance & slack-jawed bigotry.
Funny, too.

Theatre Of Blood is one of my very favourite comfort films, and he's *SO* good in it.
Overdue a rewatch, now I think of it.
Great point, and I don't recall ever seeing a Vincent Price performance where he's not having fun.
So sorry to hear this Moose. Condolences to you and yours.
Been away for a few exhausting days and settled down tonight to binge the last few episodes of Small Prophets.
I sort of didn't want or expect that final caption. But this series was a lovely way to spend a few hours and now I'm curious to see where it goes.
Working my way through @smershpod.com's Tuesday Night Movie Club back catalogue and just got to Howard The Duck.
Having such a good time with the podcast (a better time than I had with the storybook!), that I'm considering rewatching the film, but I seem to remember it lasting half a day.
Best described to me as "not the film you think it is"...
"Discussing Casino Royale with a colleague, I ended a message with 'there's no way they'd finish the film with him lying in a hospital bed nursing his mangled knackers'. I don't think I'll write a more satisfying sentence than that this week."
I know it's bad form to laugh at your own writing, but I've just remembered this comment I made to a friend while chatting about Casino Royale and had a little chuckle to myself.
Just a lovely, daft, comfortable way to spend 90 minutes, and the soundtrack is genuinely good. Vine seems like the nicest guy too.
If it's showing near you with a Q&A, would definitely recommend taking a punt on it.

The actual beating heart of everything he was ever in. A metronome of morals. Beautiful actor.
Either the hypnosis one or the one with the sports car, both of which feature terrific mugging and vamping from Frances de la Tour.
Gorillaz are back so time to resurrect the greatest of all music tweets. We're all out here tryna be The Quietus and she just walks up and zeroes in on the essence.
'We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.' - Beautifully put.
I didn't care for this first time round and am curious but cautious about revisiting it.
Didn't hate it as much as I hated the book, mind.
Oh, that's interesting, I'd love to read it! I have a very vague memory of that film too, seem to recall it didn't go well.
Ha! I imagine he'd have answered it in the thoughtful and measured way it deserves!
How was the interview?
