Something that bothers me: why do Yanks pronounce 'oe' as 'ay' (like Ezra Koenig) or 'eh' (like David Koepp) when literally everyone else pronounces it 'oh' or 'er' (since IIRC 'oe' is another way of writing 'ö')? How the fuck do you get 'ay' from a phoneme consisting of the letters 'o' and 'e'???
Fucking shit week. Glad it's over. Looking forward to holiday starting next weekend.
The Plot section and Cast section on "Avengers: Doomsday"'s Wiki page should be one and the same.
I'm not big on the World Cup but Firefox insists on showing me past and upcoming games, and I am now rooting for Argentina and Spain so that we don't have an England-France finale. #WorldCup
There aren't many things I'll give the Yanks credit for, but I will give them this: they have the right idea when it comes to pronouncing 'lieutenant' and spelling 'instalment'.
"Evil Dead Burn" be like 🇫🇷 hon hon hon. Maman. I got la boo 🇫🇷
Sébastien Vanicek is honestly the most Eastern European-looking Frenchman I've ever seen.

If I had £1 for every film I saw last week in which a parentless 20-something alcoholic woman is forced to become a better person after her life is upended by tragedy, I'd have £2. Yes, I am saying that Effi of "Effi o Blaenau" and Kara "Supergirl" Zor-El are the same person.
Did not think we would ever get "Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie" in the UK, but we did, and it was fucking spectacular. Review to come later.
Me: makes posts on personal Tumblr specifically in June or July about having stuffy nose, itchy eyes, a sore throat, and a headache for several years Me: had itchy eyes, a runny nose, and a headache yesterday and has been sneezing a fair amount recently Me: might this be hayfever?
I wonder if Alkaline Trio are aware of how many couples got engaged on their "Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs" tour?
I know Mike Flanagan has written the #Clayface film and not written AND directed it, but someone's right hand/arm STILL needs to be mangled. C'mon, James Watkins. It's body horror. It's ripe for limb trauma. You can do it.
Done 50 films in the cinema as of Monday (both new releases and re-releases)! Aiming for 100 by the end of the year.
I am extremely against suicide baiting and would never do so to another person. However, generative AI proponents who wilfully ignore the damage their sole personality trait does make it REALLY hard for me to stick to that principle.

INCREDIBLY bold of people to accuse James Gunn of having main character syndrome when there are entire fandoms who suffer from it (SnyderVerse).
Fun fact that I just made up: UK streams of "Save Your Tears" by The Weeknd have shot up by 23,000% over the last 24hrs. #Starmer
Also, finally, the last couple of sentences of my bio are relevant. Hi [REDACTED]! Lovely to see you today. ❤️
It's a weekend, there's a heatwave going on, I'm off to an outdoor event tomorrow, there's a history of alcoholism in the family, and I don't have work until Wednesday. You can guess what's probably going to happen and what the consequences will be.
Drunk Mikey Thread Time::None of the films I've seen this week will have been made by Yanks. Incredibly satisfying.
Australia vs USA tonight. A country that's almost 12hrs ahead vs a country that's 50yrs behind.
"The question one must ask oneself on new releases going forth does not regard the film itself - writing, character development, cinematography, etc. The question one must ask oneself is 'does this film handle its female characters better than 'Project Hail Mary'?'" - Socrates, probably
Apparently "Disclosure Day" is 2hrs 25mins. I WAS vaguely interested in it, but a) that's too long to spend watching something that was written by David Koepp, and b) I've already sat through one critically-acclaimed sci-fi film that was too long for its own good and markedly underwhelming.
If you didn't read those names and end it with 🎵 we didn't start the fire!🎵, either you get out the house more often than I or you have no sense of whimsy.
I love writing and posting my reviews, I really do, but I always forget how much work goes into them despite them being so short.
