The 15 films I enjoyed the most this year in reverse order from 15 - 1. Very close between 1&2 as both films really made a huge impact and left me thinking about a lot of things but No1 just edges it. Keep going to the cinema and keep supporting the medium of film ❤️
What a wonderful bunch

Used to love cranking this up on the @tangledparrot.bsky.social system. Wasn’t very conducive to good sales though 🤣🤣

Yes, hello? I don’t think 2026 is working properly. I’d like to cancel my free 5 day trial please.

Bowie: The Final Act is bloody awful. No Heathen, Outside, hours, Madison Sq Garden birthday party, half hour on his actual final act. Only redeeming feature was the inclusion of the brilliant Buddha of Suburbia. Stick to the 5 Years or Moonage Daydream films

Starmer and Farage both drape themselves in flags but once again it's really clear where their loyalty really is.

It's Trump first. They will always be on the side of the super rich and powerful - no matter how heinous the crime.

This is not patriotism. It's subservience.

It's ideological maneuvering unmoored from the material base it purportedly legitimates.
Trump is trying to strongarm the oil industry into supporting his war and they're like this deal sucks

it's exactly the other way around from the "war for oil" theory lol

Trying to get out of bed but the universe is telling me I deserve ten more minutes. Who am I to argue with the elements

It’ll have its naysayers and critics, and there were definitely the odd clunky moment however I feel overall the Duffer’s stuck the landing and finished it as best as they could #StrangerThingsFinale

In work and an ad for a Corrie / Emmerdale episode came on. The lad I support, with perfect comic timing, just looked at me and in absolute disgust asked the best one-word question…. “Why?”

Pretty much sums it up

Aretha in full flight is like seeing an array of shooting stars screaming across the sky. It’s a feeling beyond happiness, it is pure awe and reverence. Levels above most other humans
What the KENNEDY Center used to be…

Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

I’m not one normally for New Year’s resolutions however this coming year I have decided that any gigs I go to (aside from the 3 I have already paid for) will be either artists I have never seen live before or if I’m going with someone who has not seen that artist before.

You can judge me all you want, I will never be ashamed of my love of SpongeBob and the new film is one of the best entries in the whole universe
