Alien Earth ep 7, for a series that has strengths and flaws in equal measure, was appalling. After the strong ep 6 this felt like it was directed by an intern with logic flaws, paper thin plot development, poor performances and terrible continuity.
A man on the streets of the UK is asked about the “problem of immigration” and dismantles talking points with ease.

If you start The Apartment at 10:07pm on Xmas eve, Xmas day starts at the exact moment Shirley MacLaine falls out of the apartment window.
Ben Affleck leans in,
whispers through the plastic wrap—
“Who are you, really?”
I have an ear worm my brain came up with years ago:
Boutros Boutros-Ghali
Riding in the park
Boutros Boutros-Ghali
Goes out after dark
Boutros Boutros-Ghali
Looking for some sauce

Watch out for that horse!
for some reason he always cycles into the back of a horse.
From an astrological perspective I wonder if Musk’s obsession with Mars - the male planet - has warped his brain. Maybe he should send a few rockets to Venus to balance himself out.
The correct response is to put a cup of tea next to it when you see it is "in the middle of its cycle" so that when it has finished it knows you were there.
Back in the never, never - the long before times - folk would gathered in disused buildings wearing luminous clothing to read our tribal myths on these things called Tamagotchis
Just watched the Speak No Evil remake. Whilst it had some fun parts in the first two acts it completely inverted the theme of the original. Comparing ithe two would be a great case study for showing the difference between a progressive (original) and reactionary (remake) horror.
The only thing stopping you from taking your seat at the table is waiting for an invitation that doesn’t exist.
This was always going to hit me hard. There are filmmakers, and then there is Lynch. Thanks David, for everything. Safe journey into the mystery. x

Hey, you know what paradise is?
It's a lie
A fantasy we created about people and places as we'd like them to be
But you know what truth is?
It's that little baby you're holding
And it's that man you fought with this morning
The same one you're going to make love with tonight
That's truth
That's love

Wow. We had this and now I want it again.
Doesn’t Dracula carry his grave around with him as luggage?
Great article
This article absolutely nails it. If you’re going to delve into the horror of the unknowable, keep it unknowable.
Has he left the country yet like he promised?
If you're driven to creative work don't wait for money or permission. Adopt a punk mindset:
- Fuck the gatekeepers.
- Make your own work.
- Find your audience.
Forget the fear of “getting it right.” What matters is getting it made.
Some recent drama has forgotten that complex interesting characters have flaws and are morally conflicted. Two dimensional idealised representations of ‘nice’ characters are tokenistic. That’s why films like The Substance, Love Lies Bleeding etc are so good. The writers/directors understand drama.
