On an early train to golf. I’m not anywhere near the onboard toilet, but they’ve helpfully arranged for this carriage to reek of piss anyway. Which is lovely. Very considerate.

An interesting hypothetical if you’re wondering if Elon Musk is a genius or not is to compare his behaviour in any situation to what a complete moron would do in the same situation

Tonight I ate a steak the size of my head. Or a head the size of my steak. Either way, meat was consumed and no evidence was left behind.

Oh, this was a ton of fun. Chatter death and comedy (bang bang) with Tatiana Maslany, chatted absolute nonsense with James and Helen. Includes a very important plea to make Bond merchandise affordable.

Had another great idea for a screenplay — a short — that I’ll never finish. Absolutely buzzing about this one. Can’t wait to never finish it.

Amazon MGM Studios has confirmed that in the next James Bond film Bond will be fully nude in the iconic title sequence. “You will see James Bond’s penis” said a spokesperson. “James Bond will be shooting at you with his penis out”

Revisited THE ACCOUNTANT tonight. Really, really dug it second time around. We should have been drowning in sequels by now, splattered with Affleck-Bernthal chemistry. Very much looking forward to the belated arrival of the second in a couple of months.

The best part about Alan Ritchson saying this is that any MAGA crybaby complaining about this would NEVER say it to his face because he could rip them in half with his bare hands. deadline.com/2025/02/reac...

THE MONKEY is so much fun. Hilarious, gore-soaked, deeply fucked up. I loved it. Reckon it might be one of the best Stephen King adaptations. A fullblown cackle of pure malice from Osgood Perkins.

Good morning to people who say ‘good morning to this person, and this person only’, and those people only.

Pod’s up. If you’re into that sort of thing.

Any Valentine’s Day-related/adjacent questions for this week’s Empire Podcast, folks?

Not my words, Carol, but the words of Liam H. Dempsey. The H stands for ‘Holy cow, I can’t believe how good Orson Welles is in The Transformers: The Movie!’

Had an absolute blast talking (and talking, and talking some more) to Cruise, McQuarrie, and the IMF gang for this epic feature.

I’ve never been to Kansas. But I have been to Philadelphia. Makes you think.

I have one word for you: Jelly Tots Tangy.

Hey ho. As Meat Loaf once said, two out of three out of four ain’t bad.

Anyone that knows me knows that I say no to intelligence. And so it goes.

I half-hope Reed doesn’t use his powers at any point in First Steps. “Reed, we’ve had word back from several focus groups, and your stretching just looks very, very silly.” “Fair enough. I’ll be over here, writing equations on a big old blackboard.”
