Do people have a thing/technique they use to stop novels getting battered and bruised while carrying them around in bags?

Saw a very middle class thing just now: on a train, a mother and daughter playing catch with a lychee.

Very good recommendation from @jacquiwine.bsky.social. Astonishing debut.

The Bad Guys 2 review – an absolute hoot As, on a purely vibes-based deduction, it’s not a film that too many people were either hankering for or expecting. The surprising news, then, is that…

Never thought we’d ever be saying this, but roll on The Bad Guys 3

Isn't it funny that an actor named Louis Cancelmi plays the role that he does in Sorry, Baby.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps review – hard not to wish for more… Just as the production design begins to lift First Steps out of Marvel Studios anonymity, Michael Giacchino’s score also feels full of character –…

Fantastic Four? More like Fairly Serviceable Four... lwlies.com/reviews/the-...

Golly, Bad Guys 2, S-tier animated sequel, miles better than the first one. Even the fart gags are done well.

At a low, I yesterday found my self watching an episode of Paul Merton: The Series on Channel 4 player (I remember liking the closing credit theme music and wanted to revisit!), and there’s a whole riff on a man obsessed with chicken-based magazines which overlaps a bit with your dream. Just fyi.

One of the great works of existential literature. Adapted by the Wicked man.

Really intrigued by the chapter on Time Out film critics (as well as your chapter of course!!)

Were Ben Gazzara still alive, he could've played young Fred Wiseman.

We know so much but experience so little. My latest for @lwlies.com explores how surveillance has become a societal habit -- in Black Bag, Happyend and The Shrouds -- and how none of us are happier for it. lwlies.com/opinion/till...
