Just wrote probably the shortest thing I've ever written for my personal stuff that wasn't a quickie review (just under 1600 words)
I wanted to get it out before Sunday as it's topical. Too nuanced for a thread but not really nuanced enough that it's verbose
I love how neither scenario where she dies is survivable alas she survives
The Lost Bus
-Paul Greengrass, 2025 (first viewing)
(the difference was we KNOW JA was delayed from November til around March that year after the Oscars were announced whereas I have no proof this film was ever slated for an earlier release before Oscar voting lol)
Jessie Buckley is legitimately so bad in The Bride! I wanna start another conspiracy like I did for Jupiter Ascending for Eddie Redmayne that someone got this film delayed so it wouldn't hurt her Oscar potential
(also he was in his 30s when this movie came out so this was a wiiiiiild assumption for me to make lol)
Legit thought this was a baby Jeff Kober (it was not)

Lol I've been running a blog no one reads for nearly 12 years if I was doing this for anything other than my own enjoyment I'd've jumped off a bridge years ago
Find me a transphobe who csn run a successful business and I'll find you a unicorn
I could edit it but It feels silly to make that much effort for a 2 year old piece
Made a blog post about the (really dumb) controversy around Poor Things and linked to a former acquaintance of mine who turned out to be a creep and they basically nuked their entire channel and it still bugs me I reference it once or twice in the copy lol
This is such utter death if you go through Wiki pages lol in fairness they do try to archive
Please show up if you're near ✊️💚
Only acceptable answer
200 years ago today, Alexander Graham Bell became the first Boomer to call someone younger than them for absolutely zero functional reason at all.

Met an auld lad earlier who told me his family dog ran out on to the set of The Spy Who Came In from the Cold (1965) during filming in Smithfield, Dublin, and his family all went to see it to see their dog on the big screen.
Ireland has always been a racist hole but it's getting so much worse now. I hear people just casually say immigrants just murder people en masse as if discussing the messages
We need to be stronger and smarter in pushing back against this
Or maybe you wanna hear about the weird relationship Dublin City Council has with seagulls
The best thing about living here is Ireland is such a rinky dink arse country internationally people outside don't get to hear the wild arse shite that happened here lole when we accidentally legalised Class A drugs for 24 hours
Yes this actually happened
If you refuse to criticize any sort of politician, I don’t value your opinion on anything. They all work for us and should be criticized regularly.
It’s not meant to be an easy job. It is literally life and death for so many people in this country.
Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.
Because the internet allows us to formulate whatever culture we so choose this kind of stranglehold this media has has become a lot less relevant so the King can truly be dead now
