Also, if I told you the audiences for some of this stuff you’d find it jaw dropping. And not in a good way…

As an ex BBC-ist there - unfortunately - probably are some reasons why they can’t do some of this. Especially the neat Freeview idea someone QTd Steve with.

Sadly if I told you why I’d have to kill you etc etc

(Boring regulation and contract stuff)

What he said 👇

Quite simply one of the best records ever made.

I don't know why I have this photo on my phone but I'm glad I do

I have so many extraordinarily strongly held music opinions.

And honestly - ‘McCartney is by some chalk the most talented Beatle’ - is probably my strongest.

There‘s literally one person in the same breath for writing melody - and it’s Mozart.

💯

God that part of the plot is absolutely extraordinary.

(It was incredible)

Aftersun.

Started crying thinking about it a fortnight later.

I don’t need that again, thank you very much.

I absolutely love this new record by Agriculture.

Probably because it basically answers the question - ‘what if early 2000s grunge revivalists Seafood made a Deacheaven record?’

And that is - as they say - a bit of me.

Sometimes the people do a little thing and it’s just for me.

They are also giving it heavy coverage in the UK where no one knows who the hell Savannah Guthrie is. It is driving everyone berserk.

The thing about Casablanca being the greatest film of all time is people don't believe you and then they watch it

Me watching all disciplines of snowboarding, a pastime I have never tried 👇

Of all the people to deny them as well it’s old smacked arse face Sam Curran.

Tbf could have been worse - could’ve been his brother.

*looking at the Mona Lisa* there is no way a turtle painted this

League just some of the fittest athletes going.

Also, no red pants.

Downside - towns with dying high streets.

Saw an excellent production of it at the Royal Exchange 18 months ago. it’s the first Williams I haven’t hated so inclined to think it might actually be quite good when lined up with you!

Calculated to run it in with you 👇

Is it a Rangers match if you don’t see the phrase ‘Tavernier (Pen)’ on the scoresheet?

Pot as many ghouls as you can etc etc

Leave No Trace is extraordinarily good.

Thanks for the snitch tag!

I disliked it as much as Ian liked it.

As a liberal I’m sure he‘ll appreciate my freedom of outlook 🙂

That and Parasite played with genre norms and had taut, brilliant characters in conflict with one another.

Saltburn had the emotional depth of a paddling pool and - I’ll say this again - looked like a flat, fetid, gaudy mess.

Got any plot or character depth?

I got some needle drops, will that do?

‘These povvo bell ends cant be trusted, they envy you and will kill you’

Whole conceit of the thing.

Passed off as an allegorical masterpiece cos Baz got his knob out.

As someone who lived a similar experience to the central character, albeit at Durham and without the landed best pal, I just found it simultaneously both personally offensive and totally dull. It had nothing to say except - ‘oh poors are funny’.

And jesus wept it looked like absolute shite as well.

Saltburn was a film that made me viscerally angry. A shallow, ignorant piece of poverty tourism delivered by a vapid idiot which looked as gaudy and naff as it played.

Can’t wait to see how she tops it - and the advance publicity suggests she has!

Done my best to scroll past the dreadful looking Aronofsky AI slop.

Will say this - it still looks better than Mother! IMO

That film was absolutely crap.

That said, that’s as good a header as you’ll ever see.

Better ‘football’ goal than St. Jimmy’s. Sorry, not sorry.

‘Have you ever seen anything like this?’

Still incredible that, as a Carlisle fan, I get to say - ‘yep, I have mate’.
