Norwegian heads know

Outside of like 1 action scene, you can really tell Chad Stahelski reworked a lot of Ballerina and all the better cause holy fuck, that third act *rips*

Another exceptional episode of GOING ROGUE podcast by @tansyg.bsky.social. She covers how the script of BALLERINA changed and what exactly was reshot when Chad Stahelski stepped in for a few weeks (months?). open.spotify.com/episode/2oGf...

Ballerina is a lot of fun but it’s also glaringly obvious that Chad Stahelski’s reshoots saved it and I doubt anyone other than Stahelski will get to make any Johns Wick in future

Seated for Ballerina. One other guy in here, with the exact centre seat. As I walked in he gave me The Nod. I wanna compare notes- rankings, how many times he’s seen each one, favourite kills. I have found My People

Biffy Clyro become the latest band to optimistically “self-produce” without considering they’ve worked with two of best drum producers and mixers in the game.

This @everyheron.bsky.social in Amsterdam knows it doesn’t need to hunt. As the fish market in De Pijp packs up for the day, it’s waiting for someone to drop a chunk of salmon

Rembrandtplein in Amsterdam, so named for its depiction of the artist chastising a profusely apologetic astronaut

Great to see that instead of doing anything to deal with homelessness or the visibly worsening mental health crisis, the uk has simply ensured homeless people have access contactless payment technology

the new turnstile, seems like that guy who got fired was the one who knew how to actually end a song tho eh

Wishing a very happy Turnstile to all of faith

@illdave.bsky.social Future John Wick director Chad Stahelski on Buffy the Vampire Slayer as the demon Kulak.

This is a big day for couples that are one super online person and one normal

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

the only thing that could make john wick better is if john wick looked like ana de armas so I am very excited about Ballerina

1. Too expensive, way too expensive, companies like Ticketmaster doing "Platinum" sales which is them literally scalping 2. Hard to get into and out of, uncomfortable, expensive 3. Festivals increasingly exploitative with different tiers 4. Massive festivals often poorly designed and executed

again, this staggering idiot — this living monument to gross stupidity — is basically the intellectual guru of the sitting vice president

Soon I will have to ask for a NATO guarantee against Ukraine.

Ukraine just carried out what may prove to be the most strategically devastating insurgent attack on military assets in the 21st century, an eighteen month cross border drone infiltration / raid potentially destroying a third or so of Russia's best long range bombers

me: do i have ADHD? doctor: no you don’t me: i don’t what doctor: you have AD240p

Thoroughly amused by Americans not recognising Jurgen Klopp and discussing the 'new Trivago guy'

Unfortunate that Thom Yorke is a crybaby but not in the good way like we like

Bro, if you’ve written a screenplay with 12 acts, not even Jesus can help you at this point

Why are they reporting it like it's a paramilitary coup?

The 2012 Jack Reacher movie misses the crunchy violence and Alan Ritchson’s test-addled pecs but god damn Chris McQuarrie can direct the hell out of a movie. Except the final reckoning, but I’m choosing to blame that on people not bothering to watch the near flawless first part

Currently watching Alex Garland’s WARFARE, having been told by multiple people that it is “military propaganda” and “USA! USA! Bullshit” Genuinely the only way I can understand that is if you went in expecting one of the characters to turn to the camera and say “We shouldn’t even BE here”

Tell you what I miss about Twitter - new music Fridays. Not a single person on my timeline chatting about the albums they're listening to. Anyone seen any starter packs for that sort of thing?

Andy Copping? A cunt? I’m shocked. A man with the midlands accent who wears a Stetson? That guy? A cunt? No. I refuse to believe it.

The closest thing I have to a religious conviction is the one that no one has ever looked hotter in any context than Hayley Atwell in Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning

we are never going to have flying cars on account of how there would be a 9/11 every day
