It's people like that who make you realise how little you've accomplished. It is a sobering thought, for example, that when Mozart was my age, he had been dead for two years. TOM LEHRER (1928 - 2025)

You made me

It exists in curated cinemas (in Sydney we have the wonders that are The Golden Age and the Randwick Ritz) but what is the home equivalent now? Is Mubi the best thing we have?

You'll never guess what mine is

Screengrab of a Muppet of a Swedish fisherman and a Muppet seal with the number 7 on a card around its neck. The Seventh Seal, in other words.

Never forget that #SesameStreet once did a sketch based on Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal, which involved a Swedish fisherman counting seals until he found the seventh one.

A screenshot of Hitler's IMDb page, including his biography and photographs. The advert at the top is for The Bad Guys 2.

A screenshot of Hitler's appearances as "Self" including one upcoming role.

So... Adolf Hitler has his own IMDb page. There are quotes and trivia but (weirdly) no goofs. Alarmingly, he has one upcoming project.

So for those of us that couldn't be there...what is up with Runequest?

Maybe. Or maybe just all the goodies in this faraway galaxy are preposterously goodlooking.

I’ve had bariatric surgery (lost50kg) and this resonates. The stats for losing weight once you hit 40 are not great, it seemed like the only realistic option, but people are uncomfortable talking about it.

Mad Max 2 because it is magnificent, furthermore because I visited the Mad Max 2 museum in Silverton last year, but mostly because my email about that bonkers tourist attraction got read out on the podcast

Louche, bibulous man about town repeatedly caught up in sinister shenanigans

Tweet from Sharif Kouddous: "The health ministry has released a 1,516–page document listing the names of over 50,000 Palestinians confirmed killed in Gaza since Oct 7, 2023. There are a total of 474 pages listing 15,600+ children’s names. The first 27 pages the age is listed as 0 — children under 1 year old"

27 pages. Of babies. Whose entire understanding of what Earth sounded like was bombs dropping & people screaming at the sky

"I'm alive!" said Gatsby, roaring past on a speedboat. He'd faked his own death and gotten away with everything. That's why they called him the Great Gatsby. "Out of the way, current!" he yelled at the water. "This speedboat is bearing me ceaselessly into the future!"

Every time I read The Great Gatsby, the final paragraph brings me to tears. Breathtakingly powerful writing:

All of those winsome Jane Austen heroines would have had rancid teeth

Legally, you can only call Disney+ a Mickey Mouse operation

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

26 Breaking of the Fellowship. Death of Boromir; his horn is heard in Minas Tirith. Meriadoc and Peregrin captured. Frodo and Sam enter the eastern Emyn Mail. Aragorn sets out in pursuit of the orcs at evening. Eomer hears of the descent of the orc-band from Emyn Muil.

Another Tolkien influence on D&D - the experience of putting together a nine-strong party, then getting through three fights before the group breaks up and two players drop out.

Vale David Lodge. I read and enjoyed all of his books but of course it’s the Rummidge trilogy that was a particularly fun lesson in lit crit.
