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.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
