Somebody calls me young online. That very second a large G is projected into the sky above North London, where Guy Lodge is attending a drinks event. Noticing the signal out of the corner of his eye he discreetly excuses himself, and speeds off to his lair. "Albert, fire up Bluesky!" he orders

Ha ha, god he's so fucking useless. Biggest bedshitter in my lifetime

Cheek to Cheek just came on, and the bit where Ella Fitzgerald goes, "I like to go out fishing, in a river or a creek" got me thinking... I don't think I've*ever* seen a woman fishing, either irl or in a film. Anyone?

Really thought I'd let enough time elapse for this bit

You never hear anybody ordering a "frappuccino" anymore, do you. Whither our joy?

Paddington, the celebrity grim reaper, claims another victim. Never think you can escape his clutch... the bear comes for everyone.

Kathleen Stock turning into a firebreathing anti-choice campaigner is one of those things that was in retrospect both entirely predictable but is also just so funny to witness

Luring starving people out into the open with the promise of food and then gunning them down in cold blood. We have a word for this and we should start using it. The word is "evil".

I watched FACES by Cassavetes last night and this is only a minor complaint, but every main character's age was off by a decade?! John Marley is supposed to be 48 I think (?) but was 61, Gena Rowlands is 38 playing 28, Seymour Cassel is 33 playing 23, and Lynn Carlin, alone, was aged up 10-15 years.

[Hadley Freeman voice] But then again, what would you do in Israel's place? Let a boat just arrive in Gaza with food?

Going out in the street and punching the first person I meet, then calmly explaining to onlookers that I have a right to defend myself

Not at all - I don't respect any of you, and everything I post is 24-carat gold

Wouldn't be the first time I
