@theliamnissan I saw them last year on the Betty 30th anniversary tour. Just Page from the original lineup but they were loud…

Helmet was an underrated band

@CarmineWilding Second jaw eh…

Animal of the Day: Dragon Moray Eel! I enjoyed our excursion to the Skeleton Coast so we’re off to other adventures in really cool ecosystems around the world and there’s no better way to start than Hawaii! Of course the DME doesn’t just live in Hawaii, they’re…

@theserfstv Those are some fancy bootstraps

How normal is it to get $245,000 in startup money from your own parents?

@deidrejowen It’s a good word, encroaching. Sneaky and gradual.

Me: *eating a snack* Cat: *encroaching on said snack* Me: Back up! Husband, obediently: *rewinds show*

@SalvadorDafti Four goddamn songs… masterpiece.

Isaac Hayes - Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic A deep groove masterpiece as warm and buttery as the album title promises. Full of indulgence, pleasure, and clever wordplay; sexy, sophisticated, psychedelic funk-soul. 1969.

@batcountry1980 LOOK AT HIM! LOOK AT GEOFF WOAD!

The genius of Withnail and I is that it’s the greatest comedy ever made, yet there’s not only no real jokes, a lot of it isn’t even funny by nature. I’ve been thinking about this piece of dialogue for about an hour and laughing my head off: “Indeed I often wonder where Norman is now. Probably wintering with his mother in Guildford. A cat, rain, Vim under the sink, and both bars on. But old now, old, there is no true beauty without decay.” To read that on the page, it’s not even funny. But within the film, it becomes hysterical. That’s down to the brilliance of Bruce Robinson’s script. It’s razor sharp, not a word wasted. His direction is fantastic too. Between Marwood’s voiceover and the way we enter the scene just as these words roll out of Monty’s never-ending diatribe, it feels like we too have been roaming the fields with him for hours. Then there’s the acting, the way these actors bring flesh and blood to the characters until they feel completely lived in. We never get the backstory, but you instantly know there were all kinds of salacious antics behind Monty and Norman’s estrangement. That’s the magic of the film. It creates an entire world that feels like it existed long before we arrived and carries on after we leave. Much like Monty ponders where Norman is, fans can’t help wonder the same about the characters of this movie, so real they seem.

@deidrejowen @okayestpoet Just a clown-ass clown

@okayestpoet Men like these are performative for other men. They crave the approval and adulation of men, want to be attractive to men, and prefer the company of men. They don’t actually care about what’s attractive to women or making meaningful connections. Women are the afterthought.

No, no, no. Listen up. Getting help for your mental health struggles is sexy as fuck. Healing, breaking patterns, taking responsibility, putting in the work? YES PLEASE AND FUCKING THANK YOU! That is PEAK masculinity. What's unattractive is ignoring your shit, refusing help, refusing to change, playing victim while you perpetuate toxic cycles onto others. Fuck that. Step the fuck up. Talk about it. Get help Heal like a man.

@batcountry1980 Never had anyone been so terrifying on screen. And that scene where he argues with himself then goes and punches Winstone…

“All right, I'll make it easy for you. God you're fucking trying. Are you gonna do the job? It's not a difficult question, yes or no?” “No” “Yes, fuck off wanker, you’re doing it” 🤣🤣 Don’s patter is superb.

@CarmineWilding @Fmonkeyincrisis @cowincrisis Semi-salted butter

@Fmonkeyincrisis @cowincrisis There was a cow in the sea. How I wish that cow was me. Standing there up to my knee, just taking in all that I see.

Sometimes I wonder...what she might be going through 😞

@JessPected That’s an awesome costume. Good for him.

Will never understand the definition of masculinity that deems submitting to other men out of fear of their judgment as stronger than indifference to weak men's approval. I bet he had a blast & more importantly created a core memory & bond with his daughter.

@TheStingisBack She was adorable in this. Naive and curious and full of heart. And kickass too. Super fun film. As an editor I imagine you appreciate the pacing.

@NicRene How cute is she when she says that, though?

Can you believe The Fifth Element is 29 today? Still a full-on visual feast: bleached-blond Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich breaking through in iconic style, and Gary Oldman unleashed. In ’97 it was the priciest movie made outside Hollywood. It's still great

@CarmineWilding @phangender Could be, but I thought Foster’s was more of an Australian thing…

@NicRene @phangender Foster’s Rule with smarter or stupider?

one thing about new zealand is that we got fatass birds

@CarmineWilding @phangender Law of averages

@phangender I don’t know how you can have one of the smartest parrots and one of the dumbest parrots at the same time…

@ok6ixx "and ran off…" pretty spry for an 80-year-old

Working in a liquor store one night, a male who looks about 16 enters the store. Please note: this happened in 2009. Customer: *places beers on the counter* "Hi, I'll just have these, thanks, and a bottle of rum." Me: "Uh, sure mate. I'll need to see some ID first." The customer produces ID, and it looks real-his photo on it, holograms where they should be-but one thing stands out: his DOB says he was born in 1929. Me: "So. 1929 huh? You sure don't look 80 to me." Customer: "I'm over 18 though, aren't I?" Me: "I think you better get out of my store before I call the cops, Gramps." The kid left the beer on the counter and ran off. He also left his ID, which I kept to show off to my friends. We all had a good laugh about it!

@batcountry1980 Dead sexy

Just watched a Terminator 2 documentary. Got me in the mood for this absolute classic. Extended, ultra violent version, of course.

@batcountry1980 There’s fishnets and then there’s Ben-nets… I’ll see myself out.

@NicRene What the hell is Bennett wearing? 🤣

@hering_david Coffee table were built solid in the 70s.

The first time I saw this I was practically in tears of laughter. The build up to this moment goes on forever and then....instantly dead. It's like something out of The Naked Gun

@JamesHu27192912 3/8 is bigger than 1/2 now. Inflation.
