My favourite Halloween shop window display so far, on The Old High Street in Folkestone. One of the bunnies was jittering around (no, I didnt imagine it). Bonus points for the dvd.

One thing I like about #SlowHorses: at the end of each season there's a trailer for the next, which they've already made. None of this waiting 2 years nonsense.

Is he maybe too young for some of the humour? I also remember a couple of disturbing scenes. See in particular the episode "Objects In Space".

A hotdog and pretzel stand with large hanging bottles of mustard, ketchup, and mayonnaise. The bottoms contain squeeze tubes to dispense the condiments.

A hotdog and pretzel stand with large hanging bottles of mustard, ketchup, and mayonnaise. The bottoms contain squeeze tubes to dispense the condiments.

I have been traveling and today I present to you...the thing I saw in the Frankfurt airport.

Is it efficient? Undeniably. Does it probably work better than the normal way? Oh certainly. Produce less of a mess? Probably?

But the existence of Condiment Udders gives me a deep, aghast disquiet.

This was fun. I like seeing advances in movie tech that aren't just 'we'll fix it in post'. (Or, as I'm sure will be the case pretty soon 'we'll do it with AI').

The hill I will die on is that Halloween is for SCARY fancy dress, not just *general* "anything you feel like" fancy dress. When you go to a birthday party and it just says "fancy dress" you go wild, you piece of toast or Des Lynam or a donkey if you want to be. But if it's Halloween, you be SCARY

It's very trendy for the woke left to mock the police these days, but this is the kind of thing that you and I might miss.

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

correlation does not imply cause; but still, more research is needed into why things started going so bad at the same time people started making that heart shape with their hands.

I'm not a snob about it, but I do think there's a key psychological difference when watching something on a screen that's bigger than you and over which you have no control (can't pause it to go make a cuppa, etc). It's more important for some types of film than others.
