There are many infuriating, tragic things about the #EpsteinFiles and we shouldn't lose sight of them.
This is just a weird poignant insight into the lives of the rich and famous: #Epstein helped #WoodyAllen get his daughter into a particular college. [Why did he need help? No idea.]
The poignancy comes from the email where Woody's wife apologises for not exclaiming loudly over the good news when she got the call.
Because she wanted her daughter to believe she had “struggled” to get in on her own efforts.
These people, seriously.

One day not too far in the future Morrissey will be gone, and someone will play this, as his depressing but appropriate epitaph.

You have two wolves inside of you.
You are a museum of natural history.
This is fine.
Frankly you might want to increase the number of wolves, wolves are cool. -
Any idea what Australian technology writer Nick Ross is vaguebooking about here? Vaguelinking!
I've googled and can't figure out what the issue is.

Reading #AgathaChristie for the first time in ages, because apparently she's having a renaissance.
The most jarring thing about #MurderOnTheOrientExpress is how it casually mentions places like Mosul and Aleppo as quaint middle-eastern cities we might all visit if we had the leisure time.

I'm really loving #TheFranchise but you have to admit that fans of “Only Fools and Horses” may have seen the big ending coming.

The weirdest thing about the #ElonMusk #OctoberSurprise revelations about his migration status is how old they are.
This thread from Twitter* laid it all out in 2022. Am I missing some key difference between the new reporting and this?

I'm always very confused when people argue about drinking #straws and their effect on the #Environment.
Why is any fully able adult using straws, ever?
Why not just drink directly from the container?
Is it a cultural thing, like Americans always expecting ice in their drinks?
Is it a phobia of touching the bottle/glass/can to your lips?
Someone please explain?

Wait, one of the people mad at #MKBHD for his review of the Humane Pin thing used the phrase “first, do no harm”?
Does he think tech reviewers are … doctors?
He thinks he's Spider-Man too, but it's the doctor thing for me.

Nobody ever writes about this but surely a lot of the bitterness between #RogerWaters and #DaveGilmour in #PinkFloyd came about simply because Gilmour was very handsome and Waters was ugly as hell.
Time has treated them differently, Waters has a kind of craggy, leonine elder statesman thing going on and Gilmour looks like a retired geography teacher whose doctor tells him to exercise more, but come on, that's got to be part of it.

I'm not exactly hate-watching but quibble-watching the #netflix live-action #avatar
They missed that day in writing school where they were told to show not tell — and to start the story as close to the start of the action as possible.
But more to the point:
• Socca, not annoying enough
• Zuko not burned enough, not nasty enough; I need to get to know him and only THEN start to feel sympathy for him against my instincts, who taught you about character, people?
• Uncle Iroh, not … Uncle Iroh enough -

I watched the 2023 "Cat Person" movie and I think my review is mostly "what the hell?".
The source material is a subtly observed, delicately written New Yorker story in which the tensions between men and (young) women are left ambiguous, hinted at, foreshadowed but never made explicit; the movie on the other hand takes us from awkward conversations and not knowing when to text back all the way to a knife fight in a burning house.
I mean, is that … the joke? Is it like a black comedy in itself to take subtlety and bash me over the head with it? Is it like a dark meta-commentary on Hollywood movies and how they cynically destroy their source material by going to eleven?
Truly very strange.

CW: emetophobia
Note to people making movies and TV.
If a character throws up, you do NOT NEED TO SHOW ME. You don't need to show it happening, you don't need to show it coming out, you ABSOLUTELY do not need to show me the toilet bowl contents after they've done it, what the hell is wrong with you?
Just show them, from a suitable distance, hunched over and play the sounds. We get it.

[Forgive me in advance]
The other day I had the most detailed dream about Jackie Chan (although I addressed him by his Vietnamese name, Thành Long).
We were in a car together and he asked me, very seriously, why Michelle Yeo was having such a renaissance and getting such great parts and winning all these awards and he was mostly forgotten about?
I advised him to make a film like Jacques Tati's “Playtime”, a big arty visual comedy purely on sound stage, with less emphasis on dialogue.
At that point I woke up, leaving me with the question: would Jackie Chan know who Jacques Tati was? Would he be a big admirer or draw a blank?
