Poster for Madame Web - Dakota Johson in a middle of a red and white web - "Her web connects them all".
Watched Madame Web (2024) I enjoyed Dakota Johnson in the lead role, and they represent the clairvoyant powers well, but it was always going to be disappointing as a super-hero film because despite using comic book characters, it isn't a super-hero film. An origin story at best.

we all know I have no life, so:
Two Jack Russell terriers in coats ahead on long leads heading down a narrow alley.
Two Jack Russell terriers in coats waiting and looking back at me wondering why the hold up (the reason being a lovely woman ahead is sweeping away broken glass - not pictured)
Two Jack Russell terriers in coats ahead on long leads finishing their walk down a narrow alley.
Dogs always insist on going down this narrow back alley on their walks. We were behind an old Asian lady, who on noticing the path was littered with glass from broken vodka bottles & the dogs were coming, got a broken off branch and swept the path ahead of us. I thanked her for her kindness.
Me 3 days ago: hmm, two packets of white maltesers left over from Easter that no-one likes. I love white chocolate but I'm intolerant to wheat.
Thinks: What harm can one malteser do?
*3 days on and off toilet later*
Uh. Okay. Noted.

Goodnight folks!
Poster for The Uncanny - a painting of a devilish looking cat takes up most of the poster, with 3 small photos of some of the cast taking up the rest, along with the impressive cast list - Peter Cushing, Samantha Eggar, Ray Milland, Susan Penhaligon, Donald Pleasence, Alexandra Stewart, John Vernon. With Ronald Culver, Simon Williams and Joan Greenwood.
Watched The Uncanny (1977) A British-Canadian horror anthology with all the stories being about cats. Peter Cushing & Ray Milland lead the interjoining story - all in all a mixed bag, but all silly enough to be entertaining & with plenty of well known faces.

This also features Talisman: Origins, Talisman: The Horus Heresy, Chainsaw Warrior and Chainsaw Warrior: Lords of the Night! 🙌
Retro heaven! 😍
Thank you. We are all very relieved.

Dolly is definitely 100% back to her old self. The tests came back negative so no idea why she stopped eating for 4 days and had diarrhea for a week, but the important thing is that she is better now. The only thing that has changed is she now takes this little blanket with her everywhere...
Not the strongest start to a Taskmaster but the ladies are my favourites so far. Also you have to love a solo task that isn't really a task. Cruel but hilarious.
Thank you very much :)
A bearded balding bespectacled man wearing white gloves and a Frankenstein T-Shirt holds a gleaming chrome model of Bubo from Ray Harryhausen's Clash of the Titans (1981) in front of a mini shrine. Among the other items on display are a collection of framed cartoons of the skeletons from Jason and the Argonauts, Talos from the same film, a clockwork Minaton heart and King Kong fighting a Vastatosaurus Rex.
A gleaming chrome Bubo the Owl next to Talos from Jason and the Argonauts, 2 framed cartoons of Skeletons and Medusa washing her hair, and King Kong fighting a Vastatosaurus Rex.
A collection of various Ray Harryhausen related collectables. Some framed cartoons of Skeletons and Medusa, Talos, a clockwork Minaton heart, King Kong fighting a Vastatosaurus Rex and a chrome Bubo the Owl gleaming in the sunlight.
I won this amazing X-Plus Star Ace chrome Bubo from The Ray & Diana Harryhausen Foundation! It has taken pride of place among one of my many shrines around the house, along with the Talos I won a few years back.

Welcome to Taskmaster!!! Would you like to play a game?
Two Jack Russell Terriers, sleeping back to back - the spots on the backs making one single pattern where their backs meet. Although the one on the left (Molly) is half the size of her sister. She's also just popped her head up realising she's being photographed. The other dog (Dolly) seems to be still asleep. She has a large shaven area on her side and belly.
Dolly is still making vast improvements, though not quite there yet. Yesterday her and her sister Molly were being adorable sleeping back to back.

Two Jack Russell Terriers eating from a red plastic lick mat. The dog closest to the camera has a square shave mark on her side.
This was the moment Dolly started eating for the first time in 4 days as she joined her sister Molly for a teatime treat - only a few peas and yoghurt on a lickmat (Dolly only wanted the peas), but its a start. You can see more of her haircut courtesy of the vet when they scanned her Thursday.

Now Arthur knew this dog, and he knew it well. It belonged to an advertising friend of his, and was called Know-Nothing-Bozo because the way its hair stood up on its head it reminded people of the President of the United States
Two Jack Russel Terriers on blankets. The one at the back has her eyes partly closed and a shaved patch on her side. The one in front is standing and looking straight at the camera, making her look bigger despite being half her sisters size.
Been nursing a sick dog since Sunday. But after staying at the vets most of today, she seems to be back on the up. Here is Dolly (back), complete with vets haircut recovering with her sister Molly (front). Both siblings happy to be reunited.

Oh it definitely didn't help me that I fell asleep on my side and woke up with one of the dogs right in front of my face :D
Thank you. Its dull today so pollen count way down. It's only hayfever but it really wiped me out.
BENEDICT THE CUMBERBATCH!
The nicest day of the year so far today, and my hayfever which doesn't usually kick in until May, is the worst its ever been.
Calendar poster for Flash Gordon "The Big Feature Sensation!" Buster Crabbe as Flash Gordon. "Amazing Strange World Adventures!"
Wacky Races calendar in the month of March. Dick Dastardly hides behind a tree as The Gruesome Twosome drive past in their Creepy Coupe. A caption underneath reads "Big Gruesome & Lil Gruesome will need some help with the Creepy Coupe... If Dastardly has his way!"
I thought I had posted this months cult calendar poster but seems not, so have a bonus Wacky Races from 2009 that still works for this year.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
