The amount of yelling in public I did outside the cinema when I saw WEAPONS, I tell you…

A screenshot of Lala and Po from the teletubbies. The screenshot is clearly taken from someone's phone, as the borders of the tv can be seen, as well as glimpses into the apartment behind them. Po is in bed wrapped up in a blanket. The text below them reads "I know you were high at my mother-in-laws funeral..."

More screenshots from the Teletubbies. Lala seems to be upset with a terrified Po. the text below reads "Did you kill the dog? Why would you do that?!"

A third screenshot from the Teletubbies, this time the same scene as before. Po is wearing an apron while Lala seems to still be upset at him. The text below reads "You're nothing but a failure of a man."

In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies.

I have translated some of the highlights

The Hamnet β€œWe Found Love” video is so right. The human condition is such that sometimes we simply must oontz oontz

That 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is nearly as good as last year's 28 Years Later feels borderline miraculous, like this long-perished franchise came back from the dead precisely when we, as a society, needed it most.

Also, there are so many penises in this franchise??? Good for it!

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple Review: Faith and violence go head-to-head in yet another stellar entry in this series | SWITCH. With '28 Years Later: The Bone Temple', this series is shaping up to be a true rarity in horror cinema, the only one that gets better with each new entry. The relief is that Nia DaCosta has furthered ...

My β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…Β½ review of the tremendous 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE, as intelligent and heartfelt as its predecessor. Fanaticism and nihilism collide with hope and humanity, with Ralph Fiennes and Jack O’Connell delivering truly stellar performances. Read my review at @maketheswitchau.bsky.social

I have never once touched ChatGPT or wanted to and I reject AI so completely that I am actively rude to friends about it when it comes up, but it’s still become so integrated into life so fast that I am forced to deal with it and I resent that deeply.

Hamnet Review: The immense power of grief in all its exquisite beauty | SWITCH. That is the purpose of art: to say the things we cannot say out loud, to express the things we cannot express ourselves. It is the grand, never-ending documentation of the human experience, the ongoin...

My β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… review of ChloΓ¨ Zhao’s HAMNET, a quiet meditation on grief and loss that builds to an incredible, overwhelming crescendo. It’s been a long time since a film has unravelled me as completely as this did. I could hardly breathe from sobbing. Read my review at @maketheswitchau.bsky.social.

β€œHomework cinema” is not Kurosawa or Bergman or Ozu or whoever, β€œHomework cinema” is the MCU

Throughout 2025, I watched all 34 of Steven Spielberg’s feature films in chronological order, an exercise that just made me love his work even more. It has earnestness and humanity, but also brutality and cynicism, and at its best, breathtaking honesty. Here’s my full ranking: boxd.it/BWcas
