It looks fun!

“Some bloke who used to be in WoW..”

Gave my (then 11 yo) a copy of Salem’s Lot when we were staying at a beach cabin.

Never worked out if that was good or bad parenting. (Now 24 with a healthy taste for the macabre)

“…then suddenly I was in the Waffle House, wearing a badge which said I was the head of FEMA”

Irish comic Dave Allen joke;

A Protestant convert was rewarded for years of outreach by a 10 min. audience with the Pope.

Papal aides were puzzled as the meeting extended; 20 mins, half an hour, an hour … and eavesdropped on the Pope, who kept insisting

“…but Mr Brown I AM a Catholic “

A-bloody-men

And the lickspittle news services paying bribes to the US President should be treated with the same contempt

"Reasons for the move include cheaper labor and studios not being required to subsidize workers’ medical expenses, as the U.K. has universal healthcare."

If US lawmakers didn’t take so much in contributions from private health they’d admit that universal care liberates both employers and employees

This is seriously cheering news. Love Gaslight. And you have a fab set of players

(And it’s great to see Drivethru forging a trail)

Novels and feature movies are definitely on the way.

Not sure whether (or which) studios/ publishers will allow it though.

Some will be pumping out low-cost dross for sure and may not like the spotlight.

This seems a weird parallel but pls hear me out

In Australia, eggs are labelled ‘caged’ - laid by hens in dreadful containment - and ‘ free range’ - the hens can roam.

Consumers get the say

“No AI used in the writing/production of this work” is coming.

And the audience is absolutely there.

Let’s go

Ross MacDonald was laser focused on generational trauma hidden beneath a veneer of crime fiction. Very austere too; he was never much interested in Archer’s actual life (though he wrote some vivid descriptions of Southern California )

Brilliant author and, yep, much under adapted

I always thought the hardware was crazily overpriced for a black and white pdf reader (and yes I’ve bought one too)

Ridiculously true.

I’d panic. That’s a fierce looking critter

Colin Wilson? Now that’s an eccentric blast from distant past

“And another pillow I think…”

It wasn’t just stupidity.

Racism and Fox-fanned resentment deserve a seat at the table

Yes to routine. 100%

It’s the way - the only way - I can get work done.

And homemade espresso is the fuel

The Exorcist
The Wicker Man
King Kong (33)
Dracula (58)
Halloween

I’d be a prick an pester you with endless patronising posts about “how disappointing it all is”

It unusual in how merciless it is

They are the shittest case for genetic superiority I could come up with

I hated it but cripes it was effective

I had a boss who used silence:,”ok we can do this and then this”
“Hmmm….”
(Wait ten secs )
“Look there is another option too…”

I’m sure you handle such intrusions with more grace than I would

Do you actually get that question? Fgs

Genuine lol

Ta. I often see brilliant posters floating around it’s hard to know if they are official or fan made
