The alarm clock in "Groundhog Day" reads "6am" as Bill Murray looks at it.

Did YOU get up early for it?
This morning it was the exact time that Bill Murray keeps waking up in "Groundhog Day"!

In Indiana Jones/Crystal Skull there's a moment where Shia LeBeouf picks up Indy's hat and looks like he's about to become the new Indiana Jones.

Someone in a screening said, loudly, "Don't you fucking dare."

She got all the classic musical theatre poses already.
Though her jazz hands are a bit stern and wooden.

I am now absolutely desperate, and I can see it all so clearly, for Liz Truss's "Tell Me on a Sunday" tour around the arts centres of East Anglia.

Might not be around much longer, as the verification system has downgraded my face from just "old" to...

100% agree. It's so corporately bland - although the really ace Hummel shirts were 3rd kits weren't they?
Hopefully they're holding one back and we don't get to wear this nonsense.

Oh really? I've not been watching anyone on the West Holt stage tbf.

I've seen a lot of "standing on someone's shoulders" in the Glastonbury coverage. When did this become a thing?

Hah. Keep me posted - I want to make sure I'm prepared for that.

Ron Swanson: "Metaphors? I hate metaphors. That's why my favourite book is Moby Dick. No froo-froo symbolism, just a good tale about a man who hates an animal."

I love this joke.

Or maybe he's (winks at camera) a bear?

Might be saving the reveal for later?
"Then, suddenly one mornin', I woke up Goose Springsteen."

Great review in general but let's all particularly take some time to enjoy the opening two paragraphs

It's... Sooo... Beautiful...

OK.

Omg.

I was just hot-footing it here to say exactly this.
I only saw it a month ago and thoroughly enjoyed it: Hard to think of a more loving, honest, and smart biopic with pitch-perfect casting.

They doing Klarna?

"It was cruel kids, sure, but back in 2025 we gave the winner of the "16th Vs 17th in the league" award... the "Vainquers Trophy".
It was pretty funny."

Did my personality test and it spat out three photos of Ben Wyatt, plus a photo of me that i'm pretty sure was taken without my knowledge across an otherwise empty restaurant.
Seems pretty accurate all round.

wife: how was guarding the two paths today, honey?

guard: [looking away] fine

wife: did something happen?

guard: [tearing up] no

wife: would the other guard tell me something happened?

I'm so annoyed because, at some point, there was a website somewhere where they had isolated tracks of that and you could mix it yourself in like an interactive recording studio.
But I cannot find it - I don't *think* it was only in my head, but where!?

This is so weird because I didn't see this post. But, earlier on, I thought about it and listened to it!
We added it very last minute as part of our pre-show music last year at the Bristol Old Vic - anyone in the auditorium early got it at a million decibels cos we forgot to check.
Absolute banger.

I'm 24 hours ahead, and sympathising hard.

This was my first thought too.

Or it will be. At some point.

:)

Old wives tale.
Purports to block the smells of their old home and slowly reveal the new ones as they lick the delicious butter from their paws.
I'm very glad I Googled it before absolutely wrecking the carpets.

This reminds me of advice to put butter on a cat's paws when we moved. It turned out to be a tissue of lies, probably invented by the Rug Doctor people.

No YOU spent an hour last night trying to perfect a Spaceballs font for absolutely no intended purpose.

Old five. #pusb

Feeling for those cardinals: even on the second day of the festival the toilets are always gross by now.

Just took 93yr old Cardinal to vote at Conclave, he's registered blind. In a very loud voice he said, "Which box for Pizzaballa?" A cheer went up from those waiting by the chimney.
