ALCARAZ Vs SINNER sounds like a really exciting Spanish vampire movie!

Do they give out Pulitzer Prizes for Best WhatsApp Group Name? Because I reckon I'd be a shoo-in for my food chat:

And yet again, beautiful words. @newyorker.com is nailing it this issue.
In New York City, humans wear shoes, dogs sometimes sport booties, and even police horses have shoes—but pigeons deal with the feet-unfriendly city barefoot. Ian Frazier reports on one of the city’s bravest citizens: the pigeon.
Pity the Barefoot Pigeon
Bumblefoot, string-foot, and falcons are just a few of the hazards that New York’s birds have to brave.

Again, beautiful writing.
Zach Helfand on a New York City pastime that its residents spend 200 million hours a year on: looking for a parking spot.
No-Parking Zone: The Perils of Finding a Spot in N.Y.C.
Why do city drivers waste two hundred million hours a year circling the block?

Beautiful writing.
“No city is more celebratory of the individual. No city depends more, for its soul, and its survival, on the collective.” For our New York-themed centenary issue, Alexandra Schwartz writes an ode to N.Y.C. #NewYorker100
The Promise of New York
Other cities have better infrastructure, fewer rats, cleaner streets, plentiful public toilets, more elbow room. Yet people continue to flock here.

Why the UK didn't submit Bob Mortimer with Slender People as its entry is a real missed opportunity. #Eurovision

Rest is so important. I love going to bed to get my 8 hours of ceaselessly spinning like a rotisserie chicken, then waking up haggard and exhausted, confused and fully unprepared for the day ahead.

Love, Death + Robots.

Gin, tonic + lemon.

Scampi, chips + sriracha.

Dogs, sofa + resting.

Good, Friday + evening.

I'm very much enjoying the start to my Easter weekend.

Who won the Oscar for Best Actor again? I really can't remember.

Anyway, I'd give it to Josh Hartnett for FIGHT OR FLIGHT. But that's just me.

THE WAILING (2016): they weren't lying,there is a significant amount of wailing to be fair.

THE ELECTRIC STATE isn't great, but it's not *that* awful. A baffling $320m wobbly folly. It's kind of like that vagrant-robot bit in A.I. but just more drawn out, beaten up, and then buffed to blandness. I like quirky but knackered movie robots, so it amused me for maybe 50% of its run time.

I could be catching up on Bafta winners and Oscar nominees, but I have chosen this to watch tonight and I am happy with my life choices.

Folks seem down on new post-apocalyptic #shoddyscifi flick ELEVATION, seemingly wanting it to *ahem* elevate (soz) itself from its SyFy telly-movie vibe. But I see it more like a cheapie CLIFFHANGER - just with giant vicious snappy creatures instead of a camp and snarling John Lithgow. I had fun.
