I used to have really nice relaxing baths. Now I’m in a constant state of anxiety that I need to shout Jumanji mid way through.
Had a conversation with my toddler that could have been an Airplane bit: “What’d you have for lunch?” “My dinner.” “Dinner like tea?”* “Yeah.” “What’d you have for tea?” “I don’t have tea. I have water.”
My kids have been binge watching all the Marvel movies before we go to see Spider-Man later. Inevitably there’s been a lot of debate about which film is the best so I made them this little widget to decide once and for all: marvelrank.lovable.app

United Kingdom! Next week I'm be bringing my bad video game show Shit Arcade to Edinburgh Fringe! Different games every show, different comedians every show, and I even give a few away to the audience (games, not comedians). 5-12, 23-31 August!
Shit Arcade
5 - 12, 23 - 31 AUG 22:30 Shit Arcade is a comedy show in which a panel of comedians are forced to play and roast some of the worst games of all time live on stage. From ET for the Atari 260

So we were going over the Casino designs and we just want to check, this slot machine, just so we’re clear, to use it someone has to use these gigantic pinball paddles roll up the wall and land exactly in it. They don’t need money their body is the “coin” but there is a chance of electrocution…
Please for the love of god tell me the Love Shack is okay!
Thinking about the Odyssey, one of the things that stuck with me, whenever the magical world appears, the camera always stays locked in on the human emotion of the scene. Never a close up of the sirens, a reveal of the monster, always how is this impacting the character. Good filmmaking, init

Film Idea: Old Man Paddington An ageing Paddington Bear wanders post apocalyptic London tracking the man who stole his last jar of marmalade and by tooth or claw he'll kill anyone who tries to slow him down.
Finally a toilet for people who just want a quiet place to pet their duck.

Imagine having a bit of a rough time at work and then you’re boss, who you hardly see, decides to use all their means to murder your team one by one, put the onus on you, all whilst forcing you to work late and not see your family. I guess what I’m saying is the ancient gods were dicks.

New parents: I know it can be hard and daunting at the start but don’t worry, I promise one day you too will be incredible at picking up things with your feet.
I keep seeing so many people moaning about the state of film, but I honestly think we’re living through an absolute all timer of a year and we’re just over half way. I truly hope this is the beginning of a new era.

"Do the thing you can do instead of beating yourself up over not doing the thing you're not doing" is honestly life-changing, even life-saving, advice.
This concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.
By the end of the year I will have made a historically accurate version of Ebenezer, including all the muppets, using Grok.
This is one hell of a reveal and you know what. I’m here for it…
