It may sound odd to say this of a movie where Steve Coogan talks to the camera a lot, but I think 24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE is an outright masterpiece. #cinemastodon
The DJ just said "Safe travels. Speaking of which, here's Jet by Wings." which might be the most Alan Partridge thing I've heard.
The funniest thing I’ve watched lately is that new series of Alan Partridge about mental health. What is the funniest thing you’ve watched lately?

Thought that to be fair I'd give ChatGPT a go before I totally dismissed it and I have to say that in my opinion it gave a super-realistic emulation of a human interaction inasmuch as I wanted to chin the cunt after 35 seconds.

Nolan's interpretation of The Odyssey was superb. Amazing cinema
The right hates The Odyssey because of its ‘wokeness’ – but it missed an even bigger threat to its worldview | Peter Swallow
The new film extols the value of a rules-based world order. That’s far more radical than any casting decision says Labour MP and classicist Peter Swallow

Haters focusing on Liddle's violence toward his pregnant partner, his galloping racism, or his repeated defences of paedophilia, should remember to mention he was also one of the worst writers to ever do it. A calorie-free hack of the first water. Just absolute dogshit, back to front.

Highly recommend Legends on Netflix. I watched bc Steve Coogan but stayed bc of Tom Burke.
I feel like all of us are walking around the US like the movie Civil War isn't out there and Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons didn't act their hearts out showing us exactly how the president is going to barricade himself in the WH in his bunker and I feel like we should all watch it again in 2026
I realise that I am basically unable at this stage to distinguish between the actual Bill Oddie and the Bill Oddie of the Alan Partridge Universe.
Bill Oddie, what a lovely bloke. He wrote us a letter when we started making The Young Ones, wishing us the very best, and warning us against interference from higher up. He didn’t know anyone in the cast personally. It just came out of the blue. Lovely thing to do.
If you are quote-posting a story you don’t like from an outlet that constantly provokes you…you are executing their marketing strategy.

John Cleese has basically gone far right. Even though he also hates Trump, who you'd think he'd be aligned with. Weird.

When Farage pops up in 2028 with an all-new political party:
So now millions of football fans around the world view the US as cheaters who used political corruption to influence FIFA and we lose anyway. So much winning. When’s the next war?
If you’re putting your thumb on the scale in FIFA games, you’re doing it in elections, too.
I hope the USA get their arses flogged in the world cup, especially after their criminal president's interference.
