Having a rewatch of one of my favourites of last year. WEAPONS.

Just means it's harder for him to claim it was a slip of the tongue.

He's not just stating it off the cuff either; he's reading it out from his notes / statement so it could (should) have been checked beforehand by someone.

If inflammable and flammable mean the same thing, does that mean that you could use flammatory language?

People on the news complaining about the cost of petrol in their cars at the moment, but I don't understand the problem - I just stick Β£10 worth in and that still costs me a tenner, just as it did last week.

At uni a pigeon got into my bedroom one morning.

It was the front downstairs room at street level and I was in there with my girlfriend, so it was two naked students trying to catch a pigeon and get it out the room, while also trying to keep the curtains closed so people outside couldn't see us.

Damn, that brother and sister one is pretty wild. That must be intentional, surely? And yet who would do that?

People baffle me sometimes.

It's an ending that is at the same time completely obvious and expected, and also a compete curveball that was near-impossible to see coming.

Yeah that makes sense. It worked for things like BlackBerry and Ferrari.

Not exactly an Under the Radar suggestion, but I'm enjoying 'How to Get to Heaven From Belfast'.

Yeah, every possibility I think of sounds daft, but Dodgeball and F1 sound fine as movie titles. Is that just because they exist and so my brain just accepts it's ok? If there were a film called Tennis, would I just accept that as normal too?

I'm nearly 100hrs into Kingdom Come Deliverance II and have a feeling I'm only about half way through. I don't think I've got another 100hr+ game in me for a while.

I gotta go HACKERS. I mean, they go around on rollerblades as if it's a normal way of moving around.

It's close with THE NET or JOHNNY MNEMONIC though.

I don't think that counts.

Hehe, well I guess fictional sports could count. That way we could have Rollerball and Death Race 2000 I guess.

Running Man?

Why F1 the Movie should win the best picture Oscar It may not be in pole position, but Brad Pitt and director Joseph Kosinski’s sleek, technically inventive ode to motor racing definitely qualifies for the Academy podium

Plenty of jokes about this (even though the Guardian have a similar post for every other Best Pic Nominee) but I'll say this in the movie's favour - it's one of a tiny amount of Sports Movies that are actually named after the sport.

What others even are there?

I think it's just F1 and DODGEBALL

"... And if you keep your fingers outstretched you can 'accidently' poke them in the eye and you won't get punished. Also, don't forget you can probably get one of two kicks to the groin in there before anyone says anything"

(video was taken right after the final session, which was basically a full day of having my elbow and surrounding area tattooed. Which explains why that bit is pretty red and swollen. I don't recommend spending a whole day having your elbow tattooed).

I have a whole arm tattoo sleeve of British wildlife (fox, squirrel, badger etc). Does this mean that if I get my arms out in the summer some angry right-winger is going to demand I get them replaced with pictures of Churchill?

A β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… review of Sinners (2025) Some films are great to watch in the dark with quality headphones on. But this is one that deserves the full 5.1 (or more) speaker teatment. Because this thing sounded incredible on mine, and my surro...

Watched SINNERS again this evening. Makes me want to upgrade my speakers.

What, you mean being given advice isn't the same as being told something?

My dad told me when I was younger: "The bins get collected on a Tuesday morning".

This was particularly useless as advice, because my bins get collected on a Friday.

True, probably what I'd do. Although you could end up 5 miles in the opposite direction before you get that opportunity.
