The best thing about it was I saw it in one of the luxury cinemas where you could get food served to you and stuff (it was a last minute decision to go see it so I didn’t actually order anything) with a packed house and it felt like the most opposite place to see it which made it even better.

As a fan of the previous Naked Gun movies (and the Police Squad TV show), I got what I wanted from the new movie. There’s some nitpicks I could make but there were enough moments to sell me on the entire idea and it was a really fun time.

Zeb Wells writing Batman? Eh.

Grant Morrison writing Deadpool? Must. Read.

Considering the controversy with political parties when I was last volunteering for London Pride, this is a big step and props to them for doing it.

All I hope for is that Irish Prides, especially Dublin, take that step too.

🍋 The BAFTA nominations are here and we are well and truly gobsmacked — Thank Goodness You’re Here is up for seven!

Including Best British Game, Best Debut Game, Best Performer (Matt Barry and Jon Blyth), Bear New IP, Best Animation and, amazingly, GOTY.

When you arguably dethrone the great Gary Owens as the voice of a character, that’s a hell of a legacy to leave behind. Rest in peace, George.

Thoughts with his family, friends and you, Andy.

Demand a rent freeze now I've just signed this petition calling on Housing Minister James Browne and Taoiseach Micheál Martin to introduce an immediate rent freeze. Will you sign too?

The fact these discussions keep happening is super annoying when there are stories of more casual fans retweeting and liking GIFs and videos off of crazy spots and athletic moves. Heck, the Suzuki matches where he was wrestling on trains and boats went viral to the point it got mainstream attention.

Then the match was super boring, bugs got projected from the ceiling for no reason and the air was sucked from an open air stadium which felt impossible before that night. Now, nobody talks about it except to sigh and say “And then the bell rang”.

Orton/Wyatt at WrestleMania 33 is a perfect go to for that. I remember people loving the story and how it slowly built and the potential Luke Harper involvement that never happened and the investment level was high.

Character work and promo ability is obviously important, but it’s the equivalent of liking the promotional campaign for a film and making it the biggest aspect about it. It’ll get people into the theatre and it could help make it a lot of money but if the end product is bad, all of that is a waste.

My opinion on the “in-ring vs. storytelling” debate in pro wrestling is simple; everything that happens before a match is leading to an eventual match and for people to be invested in it. If the match doesn’t live up or be a part of the story referenced, it failed.

Rock Bottom Saloon is proud to present two new plays debuting at @sceneandheard.bsky.social

adding a person's generation as a modifier when you're insulting them is so funny. yeah you uh, you born-within-a-span-of time piece of shit

This is the lash photograph of Dr Hussam Abu Safiyeh, taken as he walks, unflinching, towards the Israeli tanks. An absolutely harrowing image.

The World Needs Superman - Aftermath Every time I look at the news I’m greeted by an unending clown car of bad behavior and cynicism. But, look… up in the sky.

There will be a day where I am no longer thinking of Krypto running in the snow to his master’s call.

Today is not that day.

I love arranging game days with friends. I hate actually picking said games for those game days. My mind just races with thoughts; Who is coming? When are they coming? What would they feel like? What if the rules confuse everyone? Probably the most overthinky, Autistic aspect of myself.

Playing a bit of Marvel Rivals (it’s very good by the way) and as a former Bastion player, I can only sympathize with those of you playing Jeff. It shall pass, you will be appreciated for your play soon enough.

The only Winter in Dublin lights that truly matter. Now we know the season has started.

So as we are near the end of the year...2024 was not my year. Some stuff was good and went really well and some stuff did not go to plan. But I have plans of stuff I actually want to do in 2025, if things fall into place. Sorry for being vague but, well, I have my reasons in being that way.

How am I only now hearing about this?!

Sold!

Sad looking, deflated Halloween decoration lying in the hallway of an apartment complex.

I walked down the stairs and have no context or reason to see this and now you all have no context or reason to see this either.

No community embodies the need to argue or make really silly points into wrestling community after a big event. Doesn’t matter if it’s WWE or AEW, to be blunt; most genuinely seem to just want to get their clicks and likes in for reasons that go beyond me.

Doing my family's Secret Santa through an app and the difference between selecting the 25-35 age option and the 35-50 option is going from stuff you'll enjoy to "You really need to think about retirement and how cold you're going to be regularly" 😆
