Okay Bluesky, this is the greatest thing I have ever made and now it’s here for you. Mr Blobby in the Virtual Insanity video.

Ahhh damn Drew Struzan 😔 His film posters were just iconic. The Goonies one is the go to poster in my mind and I love that he did a version with each of them at the top of the rope. The Big Trouble in Little China is one of my favourites ever. An absolute talent who shaped the landscape of film. 💔

Lush has a Scooby-Doo tie-in range, and they've really missed the opportunity to have a bath bomb shaped like a ghost which fizzes away to reveal a normal man inside.

I need to know what Bob Hoskins said to Princess Diana in front of Roger Rabbit at the London premiere of WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT (1988).

Bob Hoskins meets Princess Diana as a full size Roger Rabbit costumed character stands next to them.

So you’ve got K-Pop and J-Pop. I think North Korea should start a new one called Ninkimpop.

DVD commentary tracks really were the precursor to film podcasts. I really wish streamers included them more.

Just want to go on record that I’m obsessed with Claudia’s outfits and looks. 10/10

Can we be sure Claudia Winkleman isn’t moonlighting as a vigilante? Perfect vigilante mask makeup tbh.

I am aware how wanky that last sentence sounds 😂

Was lucky enough to listen to a talk from Aardman animators a while back and one thing that stuck with me with me was this fact. I think this is an inherent thing we crave from creativity, the thumbprint of humanity on it.
