Tell me you fucked up your writing job on a new film without telling me fucked up your writing job on a new film...

Bumper sticker reads: HONK if you bought SUBPAR COPPER INGOTS FROM EA-NÄȘIR
Can confirm that they’re still talking about inferior copper ingots
Apparently the Russo brothers have forgotten how filmmaking works. You can do flashbacks adding more stuff in comics but you can't throw some extra scenes into an already long film and expect everyone to go watch it again so your next film makes sense.

Hi this joke is for me
IT'S REAL. I AM GOING TO WATCH IT. #Hungry youtu.be/aHZrv6CSTuA?...
So this amazing musical that made me cry and is about stuff close to my heart, they’re at 90% with 9 days left! Go look! Go *listen*! greenlit.com/project/unfo...
Fwiw.
The Prime Minister should have resigned when House of Commons voted that he (and his cabinet) could not be trusted with "national security" decisions on the release of the Mandelson papers.
If House of Commons has no confidence in a PM to do that, they have no real confidence in PM at all.
I was going to repost this for @bookiesnacksize.bsky.social but then I realised that she was the one who had posted it into my timeline.
There should also be a 2026 edit of *A View to a Kill* where James Bond finds out about the plot to destroy Silicon Valley, thinks for a moment, and then wanders off, hands in pockets, whistling.
I've been playing a lot of Rebel Galaxy Outlaw recently. If you tune into the in game jazz radio station it becomes a Cowboy Bebop simulator.

Rewatched Wake Up, Dead Man last night and totally forget that they introduce Glen Close's character like she's Frau Blücher in Young Frankenstein
Just had a random metal image of Dan Levy playing the Doctor and I rather enjoyed it.
Old technology still works. There's no planned obsolescence, there's no subscription fee, you own everything you listen to or watch with no risk of someone removing access to it, no one can collect data on your preferences, it just does the thing you want it to do and nothing else.
The New Yorker, "Wondering why people are pining for old technologies - CD players, VCRs, Walkmans. What's behind our longing for inconvenience?"
Inconvenience? I just had to dig seven pages deep to find the unsubscribe for one of the four TV subscriptions I need, I'm measured & optimized against in my supermarket, lamps, music, games, and travel. Every service I love gets enshittified to buy billionaires yachts worth 100 times my house.
"passport bros" are not at all new and they are not "frustrated with modern dating" they just want women who are completely subservient to them and have zero power in their own lives
But a dick in an entertaining way. He isn't belligerent with it. He prefers walking away to fighting but if given no option he is well able to handle himself. As he tells one opponent before killing him "Just because I choose not to fight, doesn't mean I can't"
After that they strike up an uneasy friendship with Methos liking McLeod but also seeing him as a frustratingly idealistic kid. He regularly feels he has to bust McLeod's bubble when he starts going on about honour or chivalry. He is a pragmatist first and foremost and a kind of a dick.
Being 3000 years old and not an idiot he has long since lost any interest in the whole "there can be only one" thing but knowing there's plenty like Kallus out there he decided to hide within the one group no one would think to look for him and being able to keep track of where other immortals are
He's told the expert on Methos is his watcher, Adam Pearson. McLeod goes to visit Adam only to discover that Adam is actually Methos. He infiltrated The Watchers, worked his way up the ranks and eventually got the job as his own watcher. A job that mostly involves him drinking beer and watching TV
Methos first turns up when he's being hunted by an immortal called Kallus who wants the head of the oldest immortal because he assumes the quickening will be awesome. Trying to find him first, McLeod contracts the Watchers, an ancient order of mortals who document immortal activity.

Telling another cowboy to stand down:
One thing you can say about Highlander is that you get to see a lot of swords from across the world and history. Although how realistic it is for someone armed with a katana to beat someone with, for instance, a scimitar is for more educated minds than mine to judge.
In fairness, it does eventually get broken and he replaces it with a more generic broadsword.

I've just checked and yes, it is a rapier.
Yep, that's why it always makes me giggle. It's like he's trained him to fail. Like teaching him to ride a motorbike and then giving him a horse.
He didn't have to give him his katana but he could have given him A katana or something like it. That's what always makes me laugh about it
