I've still got one week left, but Mrs Sniper is off for 3 months due to her ankle. She did make it to a community fundraiser for Palastine. Have a good week and β€οΈπŸ‘Š to you all.

You're quite literally up Pompeii. I do love an amphitheatre.

I agree with everything you've said in your review, I still had fun watching it though.

In Samuel van Hoogstraten's incredible perspective box you look in from 2 different angles & see 7 rooms & 3 outdoor areas of this house. An ingenious feat of painting. Today is Hoogstraten's day.

1000 Women in Horror From the silent era until today, the nightmares that have haunted our screen have been sculpted and embodied by women, but many of those artists have gone....

🚨 Big news 5 years in the making: some friends and I made a documentary! 1000 WOMEN IN HORROR hits Shudder soon, directed by Donna Davies and inspired by my 2020 book of the same name

If you are in Australia, I hope you can make it to the world premiere at the Melbourne International Film Festival

I grew up in the North West of England,and accents change within a few miles of each other. Regional is smaller than you think. I had a friend from the Wirral, who often got quite irate explaining to people that he was not Scouse.

Wow, that's just brought a memory back. I had the skeleton badge.

Bug here is summing up my current mood perfectly.

A huge wave from the left brings a marine army (mostly octopi, but some fish) towards the vegetable army on shore. Everyone has samurai armor, and there is a pumpkin on horseback. A silly, surreal scene.

It's just a β€œswarm of fish" following a duck.

Brilliant, I was hoping for a Preston bus station t-shirt. That my next t-shirt sorted.

Yes, I laugh out loud at dazzle camouflage jokes.

I still have the Def Jam sew-on patch that came with that somewhere.

It's feeling better than it was. Mostly, she's fed up not being able to do anything. Mrs Sniper does not find it easy to do nothing.

We had friends round last night in a bid to keep Mrs Sniper entertained. She fell in the park last week and broke her ankle. It's ruined the rest of her holiday plans. Have a good week, everyone, and β€οΈπŸ‘Š

Much like the two eldest, he's not a morning king of dog.

I think there was a much shorter release of it, and then the director (I think) put his much longer version up on YouTube.

Some would say, ok my accountant says, we need cut corners, make more profit! It’s not in our DNA, we’re makers, creators. We haven’t changed anything since we started.

If I could just ask one favour please, tell a friend about us. Thanks
