The KJB patreon is broken in some way so I have been enjoying access to the bonus episodes from Signs onwards for free for some reason

The Signs one was my favourite

My actual train of thought reading this: "But Oberon was the king in A Midsummer Night's Dream... oh wait of course they're talking about FFXIV and not Shakespeare."

The BBFC says 12A for "moderate violence, threat, and injury detail". I don't think they release the full breakdown of their rationale until it releases though so I can't find out exactly what they think is moderate about it yet.

And for every person succumbing to full-on delusion with the aid of AI chatbots, I'm sure there are countless more having much more banally wrong stuff reinforced in their head.

I go to the comic book club at the Travelling Man in Newcastle, and we've done both These Savage Shores and The One Hand and The Six Fingers since I started going. They were both really enjoyable ones to read and then discuss as a group, and I think I got a lot more out of them that way.

Demolishing part of a symbol of the US government to build a monument to his ego is too on the nose actually, that can't go in the script, it's not realistic.

This is a truly unique position working with a one-year-old child. Given that there are clear academic intentions behind the role, it should be considered distinct from that of a nanny, and applications from nannies will not be considered as the family have this element of the child's care already covered. Although formal classroom learning would be inappropriate at this stage, the position calls for an Early Years specialist-classified here as a Tutor, for want of a better word-dedicated to creating a quintessentially English, culturally enriching environment. The aim is to foster early intellectual curiosity and development through thoughtfully designed, age-appropriate activities and experiences.

I'm sorry the child in question here is ONE??

Fandom, of course, has a deeply irritating tendency to ignore all that and try to decomplicate uncomfortable characters like Magneto (and Poison Ivy, among others) down into simply being "right" or "wrong".

They can't. WH Smith still exists. Only the high street portion of the business was sold. The airport and railway station branches remain.

The poster for Fate/Stay Night: Heaven's Feel, featuring the character Sakura. She has purple hair and is wearing a white dress. She is holding a small bouquet of pink flowers. She is standing in a ruined room that is overgrown with plants.

This does depend on whether you consider visual novels video games, or a distinct form unto themselves, but I'll go for Tomonori Sudou and studio Ufotable's trilogy of films adapting Fate/Stay Night: Heavens Feel. Like all of Ufotable's work on Fate it's viscerally nasty and spectacular to look at.

Google searches in the US for "how to file for bankruptcy", "bankruptcy lawyer", "bankruptcy filing", and "debt management" have been rising since the start of the decade, having generally been in decline since the 2000s financial crisis.

You Never Meant for this to happen

I hope that the Elden Ring film properly reflects the way the game is an only occasionally comprehensible series of horrifying images. There's always a risk of a fan like Garland getting lost in the sauce of how much lore there is and trying to put it all into the right order.

I just have a soft spot for Ben Wheatley I think. Also I think it's OK for it to exist even though the Hitchcock version exists and is great.

Simulacra and Simulation is an attempt to grapple academically with ideas JG Ballard tackled literarily in The Atrocity Exhibition and Crash (There's a whole section about Crash in Simulacra and Simulation), so watching the film version of Crash is definitely research actually. 🙂

Always worth looking on Vinted.

I like all the first three series about as much as each other. I didn't like series 4, however, felt like an ill advised combination of Fargo with stuff taken from Miller's Crossing.

Didn't see the fifth series because it wasn't on Channel 4 anymore.
