The Hunt For The Worst Movie Of All Time: Eat, Pray, Love A clarification: I havenโ€™t read Eat, Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. I actually really want to. Iโ€™ve hated that book for years, but Iโ€™ve never actually read it, and I think I owe MYSELF more. Forget E...

What's your favourite ever movie review and why is it Gabe Delahaye's Eat Pray Love installment of The Hunt For The Worst Movie of All Time?

Man I miss Videogum.

I've never read the books but I suspect the new 'The Forsytes' series might be painting in somewhat broader strokes

The Internet has allowed adults to chase after the trends of youth culture for dissection and elderly mockery at alarming and unnatural speed. Leave them alone! We're not meant to know!!

People in the UK need to realise this too. While better than the US, healthy food & cooking from scratch is more expensive.

Even reasonable people have this weird folksy idea that if you boil your chicken bones you can live on a thruppence, a those in poverty are either a) ignorant or b) feckless

It is confirmed. Fatherhood has only increased @lackingsaint.bsky.social's powers (his powers are making good videos everyone should watch)

Also I always assumed it was bots on Daily Mail articles saying that open sandwiches or grapes or whatever are woke but. I was wrong.

Trixie the cat, a tortie moggy sat in the loaf position on top of a sofa

I've found out pedigree cat ownership is rising and while I get it (fluffy relaxed interesting colour cats!) I have to extoll the core benefits of traditional cat rearing: adopting or being adopted by a mad semi-feral creature of indeterminate lineage who bestows love or violence according to mood

I worked for a supermarket in my youth and my favourite customer was a wild eyed, desperate woman who on the brink of Christmas barrelled her way towards me and cried "SPROUTS!!" at the top of her lungs.

Yes it's a subtle one. My brother is an academic and reads (to me) a truly majestic amount of books, which he is extremely assiduous in keeping nice - with neat little markers and avoiding "bendage" (his word for cracked spines). I drop half my books in the bath. I think it's a personality thing.

The publishing industry will fail in its goal of uplifting diverse & working class voices if it doesn't acknowledge it isn't even currently succeeding in uplifting "middle class" voices

Middle class does not = executive parents & a lesser private school. The grip of the privately educated is insane

It will be interesting to see what happens when they corner people into spending strikes. A few million people refusing to engage in the consumer economy for 3 days could be pretty damaging - this government would probably issue an edict route marching people to their local Tesco.

Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you'll never watch again, and one song you can't stand.

Black pudding: Not put off by the concept, just ๐Ÿ‘Ž

Eat Pray Love: Smug. Boring. Spiritually empty.

Rachel Reeves braced for huge hole in UK public finances after productivity downgrade New OBR forecasts set to spark fierce dispute between Labour and Conservatives

Invest in the arts.

Buy-to-let businesses have become the largest single type of business in the UK this is why we are not productive, we are cannibalising ourselves.

Exactly! You have politicians turning themselves inside out on productivity when we've made rent seeking behaviour a backbone of our economy. Landlords don't even provide work by investing in their assets ("why throw good money after bad, my tenants are barely paying my mortgage ๐Ÿฅบ")

this is crude to say but starmer could goose step out on stage, throw a nazi salute & order every immigrant rounded up into camps, & it wouldn't convince a single fascist to vote for him, because what they want isn't rational. a far-right party would simply say "we'll do that but more & faster"
