Gravity dir. Alfonso Cuarรณn 3.5 out of 5
I like Letterboxd, but its users are oddly down on Gravity: 3.5/5 is crazy
96%/9.00 on Rotten Tomatoes
7.7 on IMDb (okay not much different)
3.5 is the same as Bohemian Rhapsody and Monsters Universityโฆ
Just looked this up - ๅ้ผ /ไป้ผ - it translates as โgranary mouseโ, not because theyโre found there, but because they use their cheeks as granariesโฆ much better than โhamsterโ
Separately, I also like that โCurlingโ is called โIce Kettleโ ๅฐๅฃบ
Yes, but only so I can be lewd in Cantoneseโฆ
Still baffled that the Cantonese/Mandarin word for โratโ is the same as โmouseโ because itโs never been seen as too important to differentiate between them
His name sounds like an anagram of something but the best Iโve found is โbad divan drillโโฆ
Arvid Lindblad was born during Lewis Hamiltonโs debut season in F1โฆ
โI thought the other one went very wellโ
Is there anything to be said for military regime change in the Middle East
Everyday when youโre Tony Blair
โฆand as a result they made a pretty bland movieโฆ
If you want something lightweight and derivativeโฆ but also a bona fide bangerโข๏ธ that I will be playing a lot in the coming weeks, may I recommend New Religion by Bebe Rexha ft. Faithless

I was thinking, as an opening to a buzzer quiz starter, you could go for โAndrew Tate once described *this city* as the greatest city on earthโฆโ

You know, Iโm starting to get a bad feeling about this seasonโฆ
Anyway, a four generations photo*

Babysitted my niece for the first time today. Sheโs a bundle of joy but I donโt think Iโd want one full timeโฆ
Didnโt do as well in todayโs quiz as Iโd hoped but Iโll take 6th in Lifestyle
Borehamwood doesnโt have the film-star glamour one might hope forโฆ
Itโs so weird that the โanti-Disneyโ Shrek is now on Disney+
In the Lion of Fire 50 Atlรฉtico 43
Particularly pleased to have locked in and helped secure us a top half of the table finish on the final day of the season. Thank you Laura Knight and Monkey D Luffy
Doomscrolling Instagram and a post informed me Susan Boyle was on Britain's Got Talent *SEVENTEEN* whole years ago which was information I did not need today
and they're out. Back to a civilian life I go
Iโve got some stitches in my nose that are coming out tomorrow (sorry, but no additional context right now)
Itโs been an odd feeling for the past week with people looking at me like I must be some kind of rough pugilist (Iโm not)
โHeโs gotta be like Captain Phillips now and just get this down smoothlyโ #halfpipepirates
I think the other day one referenced Captain Phillips but meant Sully and it made no sense
From these Winter Olympics, Iโm going to miss these commentators making pop culture references that donโt quite work perhaps most of all
Plus I got all the Cheryl/Will.i.am questions
And losing to a team with a Chaser is no result to be ashamed ofโฆ
My quiz team (the slightly misleadingly named West Midlands) kept up our three year record of reaching the Cup Semifinals in the Merseyside Buzzer Quiz
