Andrew - Novel Out Now

Luckily we have a government everyone loves and the whole populace is right behind them through this new disaster, because both politicians and media outlets sought public consent for this project rather than simply imposing it upon everyone, by shouting idiotic drivel at them over several years.

This is a brilliant interview from Charlotte Edwardes. I've always disliked Theroux and his schtick, and Edwardes has skilfully allowed him to expose himself as the prickly, manipulative arsehole I have always thought him to be.

More drama and chaos in the qualifying of the weekend's F1 than the put in the new season of the Netflix doc series (How they made a good season so dull is astonishing)

Middle of the night, not eaten for a few days, all blurry, I order a burger from a place but I need things plain...
End up ticking most boxes on the options, which for some reason means I ticked 'no patty'. Why would any place offer that option? Are people ordering bun and lettuce and pickle only?

I waited longer for a bus home than I made it through the travesty that seemed to be The Bride!, not lasted an entire feature of Gyllenhaal's yet.

A random thought about the Scrubs reboot (which I am enjoying): Like the Frasier reboot, I would have loved a version where J.D., Turk, and Elliot really WERE the Cox and Kelso to a new generation of p.o.v. youngsters. I get why this will never happen, but I'd love to see it anyway.

Gemini Said They Could Only Be Together if He Killed Himself. Soon, He Was Dead. A new lawsuit alleges Google’s chatbot sent a Florida man on missions to find an android body it could inhabit. When that failed, it set a suicide countdown clock for him.

There is a quote in this article from a Google spokesman that says: "“[...] unfortunately AI models are not perfect."

That's it. That's all we needed to know. It's become increasingly clear whatwith flawed Claude's Iran attack.

THESE PEOPLE BUILT SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT WORK. TURN IT OFF.

kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it

Anyways.

It's #WorldBookDay, a good day to celebrate myself as someone who made a pretty compelling piece of work.

Perfection

I'm sorry, but I had never seen Human Nature until today, and I was planning to be a good girl and not talk about how trans Kaufman's filmography is, but OH MY GOD THAT MOVIE IS THE TRANSFEMMEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN???

Went through the artwork for the past decade's work here and, I know I shouldn't be surprised, but it really is an eclectic mix of films covered, from many decades, lands, scope of projects. And also I've been forced to watch versions of Cats at least 3 times. 3. That's a third of a Cat's lives.

The podcast network's website expired yesterday leaving @areyoumoviemad.bsky.social floating out in a sea of nothing, which of course compounds my constant life-tired anxiety.
Gonna have to relearn how to build websites now I guess.

Anyway, come listen to an ep: soundcloud.com/user-938964581

I know he was a shitty kinda guy when he spent the time between promoting his films obsessing over Tesla stock, but I still enjoyed the art.

Barry Lyndon photoshop parody: PART 1 By what means Emma Mackey acquired the style and title of Ella McCay

Just a bunch of celebs playing games and occasionally looking at the empty chair and crying like that scene in Muppet Christmas Carol

I hate this news, but love Bruce Campbell in more ways than I can count. Ashley J. Williams and Evil Dead 2 was my childhood introduction to "adult" horror films. I'm always so happy to see his face in a film. He's one of those actors that just makes me happy. Hoping for the best

Watching the mess of Brewdog playing out as our local area suddenly had one built a few years back and it brought a lot of traffic to the area, so much so there's for some reason a hotel being built opposite right now that'll be opened after I assume the bar shuts and we have a ghost town.

Bold strategy of the Wayans to look at Scary Movie V and say 'we can do worse'.

Brew is always a great time, made clearly better by this latest run of photos that were altered in post because the raw images were considered "Too hot to print".

"Somebody has to do something, and it’s just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us."
-- Jerry Garcia (1942-1995)

It took just one phone call from Donald Trump for Starmer to jump into yet another Middle East illegal war, failing to learn the lessons of the tragedies of Iraq, Libya and Syria.

Watched a Frederick Wiseman film in a library today, immersive cinema for real.
(Also watched a Pixar and an Elvis thing, but come on, this is the height of cinema in 2026)

In the story of Humpty Dumpty it is never said that he is an egg. However, it is never said that he is NOT an egg. This means that any character in ANY story could be an egg unless explicitly stated otherwise. Keep that in mind when you read a Jack Reacher novel

This fucking news is...

Just, really vacuuming up the scum of the scum, the cruelty is the point crowd need to experience cruelty upon themselves finally.

This week's ep is about the power of free press and a time when CBS was able to stand up to fascism.

We're not subtle when we get angry.

Screenshot of extract from a press release: Experience Kieślowski: Film, AI and Live Tribute On 13 March, the Polish Cultural Institute in London presents an immersive evening celebrating Krzysztof Kieślowski’s enduring legacy through cinema, conversation and cutting-edge technology. As part of the Kinoteka Film Festival, audiences will be invited to encounter Kieślowski’s ideas in a new form through CALL KIEŚLOWSKI, an AI installation produced by Sebastian Strakowicz that enables visitors to 'converse' with the director in real time.

Three Colours: Bleurgh

Makes sense when you think about it.

I wonder which political party won't think about it.

Ghosts is one of those things, like radio plays, accessible science shows, children's drama and whodunnits set on boats, that the BBC does better than anybody else in the world.

Why can’t the media focus on the party that won instead of those that lost?
