Two weeks ago I was dreading having to go about life with a moustache for this movie gig and now I’m not sure I can bare to part with her.
Mention of Bob Hoskins on the timeline has me watching this on repeat several times again
I went to watch The Odyssey earlier and it take as long as this.
Well we’re nearly ready for takeoff - Shooting starts monday on 2027’s weirdest action comedy “I Have A Bomb.”
Ironically I’m about to depart on dangerous, 10-year journey across the Mediterranean Sea to find “the biggest screen I can find”.

It’s been an emotional week, lot of stresses at the moment, and frankly the funeral scene in Four Weddings which I used to FF past when I was a kid just made me cry my fucking eyes out.
Dan Thomas@itsdanthomas.bsky.social · 3w agoThe problem with just chucking stuff on streaming without any QA is stuff like this gets missed. They’ve omitted the subtitles in the lovely and funny BSL scenes.

The fucking cheek of Prime to add extra adverts if you pause the film too long
Today I’m just watching old b-movies starting with this.
Fond of the opening of Hugh Laurie’s The Gun Seller— “Imagine that you have to break someone’s arm. Right or left, doesn’t matter. The point is that you have to break it, because if you don’t . . . well, that doesn’t matter either. Let’s just say bad things will happen if you don’t.”
