Great week for Tarantino to grump about the state of the film industry - with the top two box office chart positions being taken by Gen-Z kids working with tiny budgets... Sucks to be the fresh young thing no more, I guess.

About a year ago I put a fiver on Al Carns being PM, and will make £400 if he does... I fear this is influencing my political judgement on matters of National Importance.

I just had a go at asking Claude to check and adjust the bibliography on a literature review (that's about the evils of letting AI near kids, yeah I know) - and spent an hour unpicking its nonsense... lucky no one's suggesting we run whole countries on this nonsense...

Between you and me I quite like falling asleep in films - nap time feels like it counts double in the cinema plus you get your own personalised "sleep canon" of the story. Thanks, Secret Agent for yesterday's snooze!

"Oh, I wonder what happened to this composer whose work I used to like - checks online - oh, new work - an album - what's this? Controversy? Transphobia? Supports who?" FFS. Wankers.

Two incredible lead performances in The Bone Temple - its also funny, touching, looks fantastic, is utterly horrific and very British. Might go sneak out and see it again...
