Something I've noticed about the film influencers I see a lot here is that they "don't want to be negative" so they only post about a film if they like it or just post a photo at a premiere with no review lol

I think it bodes really well that WB invited influencers to The Bride premiere in London but no critics and there's only one small press screening on Tuesday afternoon

Say what you like about Robbie Williams, at least it wasn’t Yungblud.

I feel there’s a new noise or detail in it that I hadn’t noticed every time I listen to it. Effervescent! 🫧

Recently watched Predator: Mary Poppins. Sorry, Predator: Badlands.

Or, Predator: Care Bears Assemble.

Alternatively, Predator: The Extra-Terrestrial Who Makes Friends With Drew Barrymore.

But they all, like Radiohead, hate us.

Whereas HC, on the other hand…

As I always say, if in doubt blame Bono.

Just me that thinks the permission structure test allowing the non-consensual imposition of AI on all our lives was U2 installing Songs of Innocence on everyone's ITunes in 2014? Team, I've found a way to blame it all Bono. @spinal-bap.bsky.social - grounds for your Bononaissance critique?

I’ll do it. I’ll ask the tough questions. Like, why have you never been on Sesame Street, because you must have been asked?

There are times when I consider We Care A Lot to be the greatest song in the whole of rock. (Chiefly because it undermines a whole lotta rock.)

The post-credits bonus segment after Man On The Run was even worse than β€˜Idris Elba Meets Paul McCartney’ but at least it was shorter. God forbid they film a proper interviewer interviewing him anymore.

Speaking of Mclusky, has anyone told Falco yet that, as with Electric Wizards, he’s mentioned in my book on Paul McCartney? (Probably not as so few have read itβ€¦πŸ˜‰) Will try to whack him in the next one too, whatever that is. This is another reason the public prefer Ian Leslie. @shitrock.bsky.social

Hitting the big leagues?! Nooooo! From now on I’ll have to watch them among people with trendy haircuts who are talking all the way through. Them’s the breaks. Power to β€˜em, a phrase I’ve never said out loud. #Mclusky2026

It’s arenas from hereon, lads. Worked magic for Nick Cave. Buy a glitter cannon, tax deductible.

Ha. Thought you might say that... Scissor is a monster but I find it a bit patchy. On that one and self-titled it’s like they are trying to be a bit more normal or commercial (I think they admitted that themselves) rather than really pushing the boundaries of what they’re all about.
