If he dipped a surgeon in a little bit of water, that'd be homeopathy, right?

Can't wait for Project Hail Mary. The film I've most been looking forward to since the trailers came out. Going to be amazing.

I worked as an extra/background actor on Deadloch to get some working insights, and it was so informative. The logistics of shutting down a small stretch of public road alone is huge.

I'm in the live broadcast of the Actor Awards.

I'm somewhere way in the back, wearing a gown the kind press will refer to as "brave" and mean ones as "Zoom era".

I have my Sal Saperstein shout-out all ready to go.

A complete lunar eclipse (blood moon) is happening now on a perfectly clear and starry night.

As I was watching, a meteor streaked past, just underneath the moon. Perfect.

Sup chat this is Slouching Towards Bethlehem with your boy The Rough Beast, and it looks like todayโ€™s stream could be a big one, as some of you mightโ€™ve already seen there are rumors going around social media that the hour has come round at last, so weโ€™re gonna get right into it

A three-film day at the cinema today with The Housemaid, Pillion, and Send Help. All very different tonally. All worth a watch.

The Housemaid was a particularly nice surprise: a throwback to '90s domestic thrillers that knows what you expect to happen and uses it against you. It's great.

I want every single one of you who is an artist to find success and happiness making it, and I want every one of who loves to consume art to be swimming in an absolute sea of genius. Every attempt to shortcut that muddies those waters and robs real artists of success. That's my anti-AI stance.

The bedroom row halfway through episode 8 of The Beast in Me is off the charts. Matthew Rhys is outstanding in this show as are Claire Danes and Brittany Snow.

Highly recommend this.

Thank you. I feel like I almost never see middle-grade books in hardback-form in bookshops, so I assumed PB was the norm.

But I'm in Australia, so maybe a chunk of our releases only come out when it is paperback time.

I certainly get what you are saying about the costs.

Can you request that a publisher release the book as a paperback (from the start)? Or is that not a thing? Not viable?

We used to kick a flaming, chicken-wire-wrapped toilet roll soaked in diesel around the backyard. We called it fire footy.

Horses down the river, but same. Every now and then, I'd come back without a horse. Or the horse would come back without me. Didn't die. So: good times!

I lay in a railway ditch once as the grain train passed over me like the wrath of God. Never been so scared in my life.

As an Australian, this thread is so informative. I don't know a lot about Bad Bunny, but this performance looks like it was superb.
