Don't get me wrong. It's a good problem. But I'm thinking the number for X is probably 2, now.

Don't think that really reduces the anxiety. I mean just having more than one would be psychologically taxing to start with.

I would obviously rather have Danny DeVito around a hundred different times than SS once, but 100 Danny DeVitos in one go, I don't think I could take.

Would the x Danny DeVitos be all at the same time? This has a considerable bearing on my own answer.

Thanks for the correction!

They are a guilty pleasure! Not because they are badly written (the contrary) but because they are so very aspirational (independently wealthy jet setters) 😊

Short for Gin & Italian, a favorite of Frances Durbridge's upper class sleuth, Peter Temple (and his journalist wife, Stevie).

They set their store out hiring Brian De Palma for the first one. They were going to let talented expressionistic sensurramic auteurs do their thing with the material. On reflection it was a brilliant idea. The last four have been directed by Chris McQ I think. They're much more po-faced.

I've also loved John Woo ever since a retrospective in the main quarter in Paris while I was at uni. Woo is playing with his own aesthetic with this film and as usual gets lovely performances from the heavies: Dougray Scott and especially Richard Roxburgh. "Aa braouwk hiz jaw."

Hands down the sexiest human in movies. Words simply cannot describe...

The ratio between preposterousness and believability in this series is remarkably small. It has a way of making you want to go with it.

Either Vanilla Sky or MI:2. I think he has even more hair in MI:2

Similarly, the mere need to even impose such a ban is preposterous, as it should obviously be disqualificatory at the ballot box anyway, but in this age of Trump, it isn't. If you're a criminal and commit crimes but you are also a politician, you get to condemn the courts for doing their job.

I loathe and fear the far right, Le Pen, Bardella, Zemmour, Marion Maréchal and the rest. But wherever it appears in the report, not to comment on the constitutional ability of a court to ban someone from running for office would be egregious.

😂 It's really only red onions sliced thin, plus harissa-laced vinegar and chives. No thumb included.

I microplaned the top of my thumb off a fortnight ago making these...not worth it. #pain #weirdhealshape

Thanks Scott, we hope you'll enjoy Fairy Moon, which will be playing at a festival or two near you this summer, with any luck.

So you can safely determine they're not talking about Ipswich Town.

- He's not unnamed
- Not that it's any more relevant than her imbecilic response, but it's only thanks to France that her country isn't a somewhat shithouse little British colonial outpost.
- She needs to climb into the sea.

Dick B was remarkably sanguine. That was quite an opening monologue from Jill. "Sorry can I just start again?"

Amazing to think there is a "current Viz".

He also has a good understanding with his UBB clubmate Penaud, where they both join each other on the same wing, or swap wings, during a phase attack, and it destabilizes opponents. All round he is maturing very well and taking us away from the stereotypical winger who waits on his wing.

It's the speed, sure, but the accuracy of that boot - his conversion rate on that grubber is phenomenal. He's also added tackling. He's impatient to be the best.

It's too early to say, really, but he looks like maybe he's the best in the world at what he does.
Statistically for club and country, he almost certainly is.

Absolutely superb. One of the few moments of genuine surprise in my 2024 cinema watching.

The badly needed remake of High Rise could always be in Sheboygan? PS I have actually been there ⛳

At first it sounds like you're having a bit of a pop, but I think it raises so many questions.
