If I were Jessie Buckley (which obviously I’m not), now that voting is over, I’d spend the next week saying the most divisively offensive stuff imaginable. “Judi Dench is a wagon. Puppies are shit. The US should invade Holland. David Attenborough is a fraud. Ha ha! You can’t touch me now.”
I’m on record as thinking people got a bit overheated about the unsurprising news that not every voter has seen every one of the many films nominated. But Frankenstein has been on fucking Netflix for six months.
Sorry? He’s already been shortlisted for an Oscar and the voting is over for the prize itself, so it won’t affect that either.
Stupid politically correct Geneva Convention.
I hadn’t heard of American Psycho 2. Apparently it’s not really a sequel, just an unrelated production that opportunistically borrowed the name. So, I shall leave it as it stands.
It's the International Women's Day Movie Quiz. (We have an ongoing Steward's Inquiry on question two by the way). www.irishtimes.com/culture/film...
Absolutely agree.
I wouldn't have guessed he'd have been that loud.
In the olden days, I'd be in London at least once a month, but the money isn't being thrown around for those jaunts quite so much.
Our only Muji closed here last year. Pain in the fucking arse.
(To be clear, this is a joke about the staggering willingness of people to take seriously any plainly made-up bullshit about James Bond.)
“New James Bond to identify as cat. Miss Moneypenny to place litter box in corner of his office: Rumour)”
It's amazing the amount of people writing (mostly humorous, to be fair) articles asking if The Bride or the cats will kill Buckley's Oscar chances who don't seem to know voting ends today.
Markwayne Mullin replaces Kristi Noem. Where are they getting these NAMES from? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
It is a complete mystery. I read A LOT more than I used to. And I’d say that’s about 80% fiction.
Yeah. This is one of those “Don’t you find…” things to which I invariably answer “no”. Friends say don’t you find you cease reading fiction as you get older? No. A year or two ago I read around 5,000 pages of Trollope. Because I know how to have a good time.
Todd @ Why are we bothering with the Strait of Hormuz when we could simply do this? Explain it to me like I'm 5. Canal RIOS 508 MOUNTAIN HARD AND BIG, WATER NO UP. MANY MANY DIG DIG.
Predictably my loudest gig was Motörhead at Brixton Academy early 1990s. I was like the kid from Come and See for a week.
Funnily enough, I date noticing gigs had got quieter way back to the comeback tour by the once famously cacophonous Velvet Underground in the mid 1990s. I was suddenly aware I could hear people chatting around me during Sister Ray.
Mine now isn’t, alas.
When I was first going to gigs it was invariably so loud it was *impossible* to carry on a conversation. If you really needed to communicate a vital piece of information you had to SCREAM!!!
(‘ealth and safety, innit?)
Yeah, Britain is practically a continent.
THE BRIDE! is largely hopeless, but you can't say they're not trying. www.irishtimes.com/culture/film...
I’ve got that edition.
I dare you to say that to an SNP voter.
Do I have a point. Well, I guess is that I don’t think “hey, it’s all one island” is, in itself, an argument for unity.
Look, I’m not necessarily agreeing with Rory Stewart here. And I’m always a United Ireland man. But this is essentially the argument that nationalists use on this side of the Irish Sea. Oddly it doesn’t seem to persuade Scottish nationalists on the other side
Bottle of JW Black Label. Nice work, Jim.
I honestly hope none of those influencers whose jobs is posting about their supposedly idyllic lives in Dubai get hurt, but, by Golly, JG Ballard couldn’t have constructed a more satisfying comeuppance for a dystopia sold as a Utopia.
