Steven Sheil@scsheil.bsky.social · 5mo agoBack on Twitter I had a long-running thread featuring classic yellow jacket books published by Gollancz, all of which demonstrate their rather eccentric approach to cover quotes. Today I saw this one, which is a prime example. 'What better entertainment than a "long-short"?'
@jamiesmart.bsky.social @neillcameron.bsky.social My son informs me that there are 517 geese in the Phoenix’s Goose-Based Special. Yes, we’ve reached *that* stage of the summer holidays.

I was expecting to hear Use It Up, Wear It Out at some point during the movie so I can only assume this was it.
Becky Tyler@beckytylerart.bsky.social · 4w agoWhat song did the Sirens sing in The Odyssey? Wrong answers only.
Surely someone is currently trying to talk Madonna into an impromptu rendition of Don’t Cry For Me Argentina.
Decent collection of celebs on Blankety Blank tonight. Could do with Beryl Reid though.

“You’ve turned in a right sexy wee bastard, d’you know that?” Unrivalled. Unmatched. Perfect.
Well, it looks like I was wrong and that there’s loads of discussion of The Dish this morning. This fills my heart.
agatiefan.bsky.social@agatiefan.bsky.social · last mo.There’s going to be very little mention of The Dish today and there really should. It’s a beautiful and gentle film with a note-perfect central performance from Sam Neill. And it’s the only film about maths that makes me cry.
This is pretty well known, but the Australian flag Sam Neill wore on his uniform in Event Horizon was designed at his request to show the Union Jack replaced with the Aboriginal flag, because he hoped in the future this is how it would actually look. A proper fucken ally in every way, this bloke.
