Used to live in the UK as a bald man. Now living in Norway as a colder, balder man. He/him.
Ok so i just realised that I bought a bunch of magic beans
HK@hkesvani.bsky.social · 3d agoWhen I was in Tanzania i came across a guy who told me he sold the best coffee on the Island. I bought a bag of coffee beans from him, and just brewed it now. Worst coffee i've had in my entire life it tastes of wet cigarettes
Saying I’m on “island time” but I mean Elba, and that I feel isolated by my thwarted ambitions
"Dear Andy Burnham. I do not believe the UK needs one place close to London called Maidenhead and another called Maidstone. Please eliminate one. I am not a crackpot."
I know it's named after the player faction in the game, but I actually think if you call it a Tarnished Edition, it should come with fewer features than the original game.

It's why my letterboxd reviews make it absolutely clear I am much dumber than the movies I am watching.

The ongoing #EventsDearBoy project has been one of the best reasons to log into Bluesky this year. As a pretty casual comics fan, been an absolute delight to get such witty, insightful and succinct, overviews of the big shakeups in the worlds of Marvel, DC, et al. Can't believe we're at the top 10!
Tom Ewing@tomewing.bsky.social · last wk.#EventsDearBoy 10. THE INFINITY GAUNTLET (1991, Marvel) *very Emily Wilson voice* your film neglects the themes of the text! Guy kills half the Universe to impress a woman who still thinks he's a weird creep; Jim Starlin's cosmic parable of male vanity and insecurity carries Lessons For Our Time
Criterion staff hear a beeping sound and look outside to see James Remar backing an empty semi truck up to the loading dock.
Edwin Davies@edwinjdavies.bsky.social · 7d agoThe Criterion closet is not going to survive The Odyssey promotional tour. If they let just one more cast or crew member in they’ll be completely depleted.
In the interests of fairness, Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos is going to adapt the UK's best poem "The Tay Bridge Disaster" as a blockbuster movie.
Hoping Emily Wilson doesn't write a really long and scathing review about all my stupid Odyssey posts.
Reading Homer's Iliad (if you've not heard of it, it's the prequel to Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey) and it's a bracing reminder there's nothing old poets love more than making big lists of names and places, like they're telling their disinterested partner the Glastonbury lineup.
Beautiful translation, really brings out the music of the original Greek

this is why it's important to add "for a screenplay i might write" to the end of every google search query. they can't punish you for dreaming big
The Author, Séamas O'Reilly@seamas.bsky.social · 5mo agoAny time I read a story like this, I immediately scroll down to see if my favourite true crime trope - the absurdly incriminating search history - gets featured. I can confirm that this one does not disappoint.
Odysseus and his men landing on an island where they have to play basketball against the Harlem Globetrotters
Trash Collector Rates Garbage Pickup Scenes In Film and TV Okay dis is from da Sopranos. Good show. (scene where Richie dumps garbage all over the deli guy's lot) No, no dat's about the exact opposite of what we do. See we pick UP da garbage. But this is just a TV show, you can't take it literally.
The Odyssey another incredible entry in Nolan's wife guy canon - film ends with workaholic husband finally taking his spouse on that cruise she's always wanted to go on. Hope you and Emma Thomas have a lovely Royal Caribbean holiday when the press tour's done, Chris!
Mention of Bob Hoskins on the timeline has me watching this on repeat several times again
Talked to some Greek historians and put together a playlist of what the Siren’s Song may have sounded like. I can see why it drove Matt Damon to lustful insanity.
Our two and a half year old son keeps asking me to show him pictures of Spider-Man - I've helped create a new J. Jonah Jameson.
No wonder they don't like RDR2 - they're a car! A horse-hating car!
