Can't believe that the downfall of humanity will be a technological tribute act to Stanley Unwin.

Take a few minutes to appreciate Drew Struzan creating the original artwork for THE PHANTOM MENACE. Truly a master at work.

Came second in another pub quiz, lads.

Lost out on the top spot by just half a point.

Should have known it was going to be a tough night when the first round was...

CHEESE OR DOG?

A colossal loss to the magic of cinema

Ah, fuck no.

What a legend. His work made me want to be film poster designer (not that I was ever talented enough to do it).

There's a very good chance your favourite movie poster was drawn by him.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

A recent trip to the wonder emporium that is Lidl has led to me discovering packs of these two chocolate beauties, and let me tell you they are God tier treats, people.

Stop trying to make them Hollywood stars.

I think it's very telling that the main speaker on today's @mrjamesob.bsky.social show didn't get a Ray Liotta.

Thank you, @mrjamesob.bsky.social for your 2 and a half minutes today.

If you're unable to listen live to this 'speech' from Trump, and what has preceded it, you can pretty much get the same effect of listening to it by putting on Cilla Black's Greatest Hits when you get home.

Given Israel has just publicly said it is nominating Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize next year, anytime between now and the end of January 2026 - when the nominations close - would be an excellent time to release the Epstein files.

What is *slightly* grinding my gears about listening to this build up on the speech in Israel is the insistence of broadcasters using the term 'translator' for the work being done by the interpreters.

I have been taught well on the difference by a translator.

Misheard lyrics (true story)

Four panel comic of Nicolas Cage dressed as Castor Troy in priest costume from the film Face/Off. The text reads “And if I only could, I’d make a deal with God, and get Him to SWAP OUR FACES.”

Bluesky Egg discourse is the niche Pandora's box we didn't know about until it was opened.

See 28 eggs, and the intricacies of what actually makes a poached egg.

You know, so the kids can learn about the influence of John Coltrane and Miles Davis.
