“Guys should we let Unc cook?”
Watching Spurs with my teenage son and his friends. Throwing in an "Unc is chopped" whenever the camera cuts to Thomas Frank. I think they appreciate it

The blow job scene in The Scarecrows’ Wedding was vulgar, unnecessary, far too long, disturbingly explicit and yet, as you would expect from the talented artisans involved, gorgeously animated

Feels like something The Grinch would say
Thats an awful take-away. Redemption doesn’t mean everyone will or even should forgive you, if your primary motivation for doing good is so people will absolve you of your past, you’re doing it for the wrong reasons.

Pokémon spoilers in image of all things, this is a lesson Legends ZA nailed. 1/4

The end of A Christmas Carol is clear that Scrooge became famous for his generosity and love of Christmas. And yet his name is still shorthand for miserliness. So really that whole story is proof that you can change all you want but people will still remember you at your worst

Amadeus: a remake actually worth doing

The new TV adaptation of Peter Shaffer’s 1979 play is cuttingly comic with a more modern feel.

Amadeus — a rip-roaring update driven by decadence
Will Sharpe’s Mozart is a nihilistic rebel and a broken child preyed upon by Paul Bettany’s scheming Salieri
