Darren Aronofsky's The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Hopefully in a return to the style of his early work

This is clearly the face of a man who has just found out that someone left the cake out in the rain

As I think I mentioned before, you should get the other R[onald] Hutton on for this one

It doesn't sound very proper or ethical

Perhaps Cap paused, hesitated , repeated a word or said a word that Thor didn't like

I'm a bit worried that Thor seems to be attacking Captain America here

So you're actually providing a useful meta-meta-news service to those who find Reach's news coverage of the news too painful to access

Presumably the point isn't so much to present a rational argument, as much as to provide a reassuring facade if one to readers of that website whose mind is already made up, and to prove his loyalty to the brand

Or in the headline case, one day you're making early 80s shuffle-rhythmed soft-rock, the next you're making heated toilets for the Japanese, and the day after that you're a major player in a trillion $$ industry

How does he compare with that other noted player of the role?

Romeo and Juliet are a case study in how critical good communication is for the longevity of a relationship

And a train ferry! You don't get one of those every day

It's clearly Anne Diamond and Melvyn Bragg

Want to hear a bluegrass cover of Dire Straits' Money for Nothing? Of course you do.

I enjoyed it but was slightly disturbed by how much Reynolds reminded me of a chap I used to work with

Have spent longer than I should staring at this, surprised that I'd not seen Trello do this with uncompleted entries before and wondering what it was that I'd been going to enter - before realising that it was a reminder to put the recycling out

Also, the theme tune being the absolute best soundtrack for a morning run

Will listen a bit later - hope there's some discussion of whether the Mohawk chief is Colonel Strohm from Allo Allo

It essentially felt like a particularly bad indie British romantic drama, with an inexplicable Hollywood superstar and actual Bruckheimer production values

I suppose the Academy deserve some credit for not giving Brundle a best supporting actor nomination

The *visuals* of the racing scenes are good, but they're all spoilt by Martin Brundle talking over them so woodenly that they all end up feeling like a bad video game

I've assumed that even the people who chose to buy it in its fifteenth week of being at number 1 would have felt, "you know what, I never want to hear that song again" by now

I'm late to this, but this is a great read and has a lot of really helpful wisdom

I'm enjoying the Reeses discourse, as much as anything because I'm wondering whether or not it's part of the joke that actual Reese's name was actually Reece

Was he at drama school with Clive Dunn?

Do our two examples paint a worrying picture of what being a potentially good constitutional monarch might do to a person?!

21.01.2026 19:39 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I guess the counterpoint is that unlike the others mentioned he *was* a constitutional monarch

I'd say George III, despite the picture painted of him from the US

I stumbled on it for the first time today, when I landed on the page for a business/political figure, consisting of a reasonable-ish introduction followed by an outline of the professional football career that he apparently had several years before his birth
