Update: we also ran out of TV series names
We did it, we finally ran out of film titles. None left.

Vi "La teta y la luna"[1994], ya no se hacen películas así. Pelí del llegar a la mayora de edad pero con un joven al que le gusta la leche..la leche de pechos. Prefiero "Jamón Jamón " del mismo director pero vale la pena ver una curiosidad come esto.
Ooh, Rubber Soul reissue up next, wondering what other goodies will be let loose, feels like the well is pretty empty for this album
Really sad to hear about Glen Hansard, great musician and a great presence in the Irish music scene. RIP.
Me recently with Maribel Martín from The Blood Spattered Bride
This reminds me of a tweet I saw once that said something like "you are watching a crappy b-movie from the 70s and suddenly the most beautiful woman in the world will appear on screen for a few minutes and she has only two credits when you check IMDB."
Una observación después de unos días viajando en metro: "Bella ciao" es para los acordeonistas lo que "Wonderwall" es para los guitarristas
It being the season for joke fringe candidates, I wrote about Screaming Lord Sutch, and the Monster Raving Loony Party book that I ghosted for him. thelionandunicorn.com/2026/07/25/s...
Sutch is life
ALWYN TURNER confesses to having written the Official Monster Raving Loony Party manifesto for Screaming Lord Sutch.

Drop a crush from your youth I looked at my Vicki Vale/Kim Basinger Batman cards quite a lot

I've heard of Portuñol but need a name for the sad mixture of Spanish and French I'm speaking in Paris this weekend. Espançais. Frañol.
This book in my bag at the airport triggered a compulsory swab test at security. It better be worth it
This is why Spain must win and anything else is game's gone.
Yes, Argentina the first ever World Cup finalist to not have a shot in the 90 minutes.
Will Tuchel go 5vat the back to protect his lead here? #bantz
Pasé un tiempo exorbitante enterándome por qué no hay comillas españolas (« ») en el teclado Samsung. Y sigo sin entenderlo. Creo que se prefieren la raya( —) o las comillas dobles ("). Me gustan esas pequeñas flechas
Nice article on one of Bob's unreleased masterpieces, though I must admit the live at the Bitter End version was the one that convinced me of its greatness www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNeZ...

Read my full revisit to Abandoned Love - both the solo live version Dylan performed at The Other End and the full band studio cut we finally heard on Biograph: dylanrevisited.com/2026/07/16/a...
There was a time when the Bond franchise was the only one under the culture war microscope (007 is a racist sexist dinosaur etc) so good to see The Odyssey sharing some the burden. Its it's own strange compliment that means your movie actually matters.
Argentina started like Paraguay, very fearful, just looking to disrupt England. England get their deserved goal then decide to dog it out like they did against Mexico. You can't be hanging on like that against Argentina.
Incredible Spain performance, made the best attacking side in the tournament look very ordinary #FRAESP
Will RayBans be issuing its non-wrongun customers with retrofit markings on their sunglasses that let everyone know they aren't filming other folks without their consent?
I never knew that Sam Neill was Molloy in The Simpsons. Perfect voice for a charming cat burglar. No wonder Springfield wanted to let him go after the zirconia theft www.youtube.com/watch?v=lita...

I’m saddened to announce the passing of my work colleague, The Zodiac Killer. While we were often on opposing sides of the business, I always enjoyed his silly little scavenger hunts.
Sean Connery meeting the England football team 60 years ago at Pinewood Studios. A great day for the Scotsman, I'm sure.
Watched "See The Sea"[1997], very early work of François Ozon and as disturbing as everyone says. A young mother takes a vagabond under her wing despite some huge red flags and the sense of dread about what the psycopath drifter will do with her is palpable throughout. Excellent.
Francia hizo que Marruecos pareciera normal. El equipo galo mantuvo a Marruecos a raya durante todo el partido #Mundial2026
Brazil's aura continues to decline, not a serious team since about 2006 when France knocked them out. Shame, they have the hottest fans. We're all supporting Belgium now anyway!
Terry Pratchett and "Discworld". Sorry, Discworld just sounds like a 2nd hand record shop that I won't be entering.
Opening up a judgement free zone but what's the smallest thing that discouraged you from entering into a vast cultural landscape that others have found vastly rewarding. Mine was discovering that the hero/protagonist of Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash was called Hiro Protagonist.
Despite all the negativity about the World Cup...Cape Verde are what its all about. Brilliant spirit. Had the world champions on the ropes #ARGCPV
Yeah, Queen were brilliant too but Neil Young busting out the cinematic "Powderfinger" at Live Aid is just 😍 youtu.be/hw11jeUON1A?...
