If you see me posting here, remind me I have too many books, BluRays, DVDs, comics & games to get through to be wasting time on socials. Those backlogs aren’t going to clear themselves. Occasional maker of THINGS. @MarkSlater42 on Letterboxd (He/Him)

Yep - looks likely it’s damaged seats.

Because the stock market is a rigged casino.

They haven’t given it to him yet - and if he doesn’t turn performance around (and he won’t) then he won’t get it.

That checks out.

Which would essentially confirm what I was initially checking for, that no tickets have been sold for this film.

Having four seats out of commission seems a lot in such a small auditorium, but unsurprising given how long it takes The Light to fix anything that’s broken.

Seating plan of the very small screen 2 auditorium at the Light cinema in Stockport.  Two seats each to the far left of rows B and D are booked.  No other seats are booked.  This pattern is on display for every single screening.

Something weird is happening with bookings for ‘Melania’ at The Light Cinema in Stockport. For every screening on each day it’s showing, the same four seats are booked. Exactly the same four seats and they’re weird selections off to the side. Feels like there’s some fuckery going on.

If you also play (or replay) the ’Assassin’s Creed II’ that should cover all your bases. 😁

Just watch the rip roaring TV ‘historical’ fantasy series ‘Da Vinci’s Demons’ (it’s good - not historically accurate but good) then go to Florence.

And to muddy things further ‘Imprint’ is obviously an Australian boutique disk label who have also released some Hammer titles!

I hope I’m wrong too. Was at a governor meeting at the primary school where I’m a governor yesterday, and had a briefing with their IT lead. They’re already trying to inform 7-11 year olds on the limits and dangers of AI, because to not do so leaves a vacuum.

pH - Indicator - it’s a science pun.

‘Imprint’ is the product category (they really mean label), and the data is ‘Powerhouse Films’ which is Indicator.

It absolutely is - listed as Powerhouse Films.

I expect the governments offer of free training will eventually extend to the under-16s. I fully expect to see it appear on the national curriculum before long.

My Gen Z kids loved Harry Potter, books and films, when they were younger. Wand toys, studio visit, the lot. Now they don’t give a shiny shit about it because JKR is a hateful bigot, and neither do I. Got two primo unopened editions of ‘Beedle The Bard’ I bought in 2008 that I now need to eBay.

Saw it, thought ‘Oh shit what now!?!’, and all I could find was that this is what was posted on 3rd March 2025 the day before this;

The alternative Labour candidate would possibly be Gary Neville who would kick the arse of anyone that Reform would field in Manchester.

But apparently he’s not standing. As I said though, it would have been a massive gamble.

Absolutely think he was right to go for it. He has to continue signalling his long term ambitions. Whether getting it would have been the best outcome for those ambitions is a different conversation.

As someone who lives in Greater Manchester - I’d also selfishly quite like to see Burnham finish the excellent job he’s started here, on integrated transport at least.
