Really like the idea that the guy whose picture is used on the Wikipedia article for “forehead” just had his photo uploaded by some mates and now they mercilessly bully him and call him “Wikipedia Forehead” and stuff.

People tell you that you shouldn’t weigh yourself every day but sometimes I weigh myself before and after doing a poo and check the difference.

Speaking of: #newprofilepicture

I keep seeing talk of how weirdly prescient Her was now that we’re in 2025 (the year in which it’s set).

For me, the strangest thing is nothing to do with AI, but instead how it appears to have correctly predicted the resurgence of the moustache as a mainstream fashion trend.

What kind of summer are we going to have this year? My vote is for Switch.

Those Willem Dafoe (and three of the Bruce Campbell) movies were:

I actually watched more Bruce Campbell movies in 2024, but Letterboxd doesn’t count his cameos in Evil Dead (2013) or Evil Dead Rise — which is just disrespectful, frankly.

A pair of absolute kings.

Important things happening over on Letterboxd.

Just a reminder that A CAB includes Travis Bickle.

Just happened again while watching a video of someone cooking “Mexican lasagne”.

I’m not opposed to Mexican lasagne. It was their tortilla-first approach to the layering.

Really hoping the monster has a funky goatee in Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein.

I’m going to attempt to log each time I quote something throughout 2025. I want to see how much of my day-to-day vernacular has been absorbed from pop culture.

To start, I just caught myself saying this in response to a video of someone eating fudge with a slice of cheese.

Have you considered typing “JK Rowling Lolita” into google?

If you want to really understand how severely Warner Bros. is struggling right now, 2024 is the first year we didn’t get at least one new straight-to-video Scooby-Doo movie since they started making them in 1998.

In an interview on BBC Radio 4.

The books I started but didn’t finish were Crime & Punishment (too dry) and Pride & Prejudice (shite). A fun pairing.

A short I read that I really loved was “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell.

Amazed I didn’t have to deploy my The Art of Futurama book to reach quota.

I tried to give JK Rowling the benefit of the doubt RE her comments on Lolita by the way, but now that I’ve read the thing, I’d be up for cancelling her over calling it “a great and tragic love story” alone.

These are the 52 books I read. Highlighted ones are especially great (like 8/10 or higher).

Particularly surprising here because I infamously think the film, The Godfather, is crap.

Finally finished my stupid reading challenge of 52 books in 2024 (aka one book per week).

Goodreads is dumb and counts short stories (as well as when you give up on a book you’ve started) towards the total so it thinks I’ve been finished for months.

American public bathrooms genuinely horrify us Europeans. Why do you do it like that?

Fuck’s sake

Me for the next 27 days now that my listening won’t contribute towards a Spotify wrapped.

Not sure I like Spotify explicitly calling me out for having a brat summer like this.

RIP Just What I Needed by The Cars

The ending of The Thing is intentionally ambiguous. Whether the villain has won or not is kind of 50/50. The only certain thing is that the heroes are going to die if they haven’t already.

The villain wins more overtly in Season of the Witch than in most of the actual Michael movies.

A woman once came back to mine and insisted on playing an all-Billie-Eilish playlist while we got busy. She didn’t understand why I started laughing when that song that features loads of clips from The Office came on. How are you supposed to keep the mood going during The Scarn?

How’s your day going? I just realised that “the WICKEDly talented Adele Kazeem” was a reference to her role in Wicked.
