Those Bogart and Chevy double bills are amazing

Salem's Lot (1979) Director Tobe Hooper

Worst. Episode. EVER.

No, they aren’t. Physical home video is doing great. What articles like this, and surveys they cite, often miss is the health of the boutique market and direct to consumer traffic. Not everyone buys discs from Amazon and Target etc, especially now. It’s all good! www.tomsguide.com/tvs/4k-blu-r...

Dear The Guardian, The last person I want to hear speak about Trump and Ukraine, right behind even Joe Rogan, is Owen Jones. Thanks.

I was just an Education Department guy under Reagan and the most junior WH senior staffer under G.H.W. Bush, so what do I know? But if I were an ex-president, and the current president were executing the most disastrous turn in American foreign policy in 80 years, I think I might say something?

This is absolutely correct. Yes, it’s been widely reported that even that $16bn figure is a shockingly incompetent overcount, misreading $8m as $8bn in one case - but a bigger figure would not in any case automatically represent a positive achievement

100%

Ffs

Lol

I'm not even Ukrainian and I feel drained by what I think Trump is going to do next.

The tories are unfit for govt but until the left addresses populism with something other than an echo chamber of "lol fascist" I swear Reform are going to end up in a coalition govt and fuck us all.

I know I’m in a minority thinking that politicians in the UK & EU need to start telling a much more positive story about the benefits of migration, but in an aging continent it is quite urgent www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Men will literally crash the entire United States constitution, governance, justice system, economy and hegemony into a wall rather than go to therapy

today's highlight was learning of the existence of the Labour MP for Broxtowe from 1929 until 1953, who revelled in the name "Seymour Cocks"

Remember that comedian who trended with his skit on Gaza, saying how there was no difference between a vote for Biden or for Trump? He aged well.

Canada announcing their retaliatory tariffs.

Happy Brexit-iversary, everyone!

Logan Paul is a garbage human being and Logan Paul is a really good wrestler are both true, however...

It would be an opportune moment for countries like the UK to recruit some really significant talent, had we not totally ballsed up our our own higher education system

This shit is so exhausting. The far right have been trying to restrict access to porn for no good reason for decades. Citing harm to minors, addiction, trafficking, etc despite having nearly no evidence to back any of that up. Let adults be adults! If you don’t like it, don’t watch it!

If you want to know how dumb the Bechdel test is, this film passes it and The Hurt Locker fails it.

Feels awffy slow on this app, but still no chance I'd go back to Twitter. Just a week in and Musk is helping to prop up a regime that is going to do untold damage to the world.

Michael Cole announced that the podium area is called the Okerlund position. It was the same area where Gene Okerlund would do interviews. #WWE #WWESNME

Congratulations to the team behind The Substance on the multiple Oscar nominations, well deserved. 👍

Trump is, was and always has been a monster. Much as I dislike any Brexit party being in power, I'm so glad the tories aren't leading the UK right now.

For the life of me I'll never be able to wrap my brain around whatever brainrot caused a large portion of Americans to refuse to see the rich man with a literal ivory tower in Manhatten who promised and is filling his cabinet with billionaires as anything other than 'the elite.'

Donald Trump should be in prison. Donald Trump should be in prison. Donald Trump should be in prison. Donald Trump should be in prison. Donald Trump should be in prison. Donald Trump should be in prison. Donald Trump should be in prison. Donald Trump should be in prison. Share if you agree.

New Line had these boxes made for video stores when the Platinum Series DVD for SE7EN came out and I really miss when studios did dumb shit like this for home video (see also: the FARGO snow globe)

Well guess we all brace ourselves from tomorrow. Cannot understand anyone who voted for him.

You can hate Trump and have an issue with Tik Tok. Don't fall for nonsense from the right or left on this call.

The Tik Tok ban is surely a positive. But watch Trump overturn it.

I hear what you guys are saying about the Oscars, and how they're a celebration of life, and the show must go on, blah-blah-blah, so-on-and-so-forth. It all makes a degree of sense, but to me it still feels like Nero fiddling while Rome burns. Or in this case, wearing fancy clothes while LA burns.

I got to be friends with David Lynch when we were both at Universal years ago. A very kind man, he was a fan of Bob's Big Boy. So was I. I'm going to miss him. R.I.P. David.

I guess this is why we survived till ‘25…
