There's something funny about Quentin Tarantino criticising other actors (surprise, surprise he's being a prick again) when he probably couldn't even get a role in EastEnders, based on his own acting skills alone.

Love that Jonathan Byers is wearing a Fall t-shirt in the new season of Stranger Things. Mark E Smith would've hated his face being in the show and that makes it all the more amusing.

The only film I had time to watch this week was Mulan and I'm not even mad. Disney doesn't get much better than fruity Li Shang singing I'll Make a Man Out of You.

I feel like the latest budget has been teased for months. It's worse than Christmas adverts in September. Just stick the knife in already, Rachel.

Udo Kier proved actors could be openly gay and still have incredible careers. His piercing blue eyes will be missed on screen. Goodbye to a legend.

Twenty people call spade a spade but spade insists it's a rake. Who's telling the truth?

Helped one of our sites beat some all-time sales records today. What's the opposite of imposter syndrome? I'd say my ego is inflated but I also face-planted the front door.

Cynthia Erivo's version of No Good Deed is superior to the original. Patiently waiting for the soundtrack so I can hear that one again.

No serious screenwriter would be having this problem (or anyone working on Bond in general), so I assume the 'insider' they spoke to is talking absolute bollocks to drum up interest and discussion. I guess there'll be some real Bond news soon 🤔
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

My colleagues just told me I'm becoming more flamboyant every year. I fear I'll soon turn into Nathan Lane's character from The Birdcage.
