I actually finally completed the path of pain!!
I think Silksong being so maddeningly hard made me better at it

Given whoever is Doctor Who showrunner after Russell t Davies is gonna get endless shit for it whatever happens, I don't want someone I respect getting that position. Give it to someone who needs their ego taken down a peg or two. Like Ryan Murphy.

Fifty quid says David Tennant's gonna be in that special... actually no one's gonna take that bet are they?

British comedy duo Mitchell and Webb have released a new sketch show, so I thought I'd try and answer the question of why you don't really see British sketch shows anymore

My new short film Got Your Nose is now available to watch on Omeleto! Its about a man whose uncle played got your nose when he was very young, and now he's had to live his life without a nose.
Its not a comedy. It is a very serious film about a very traumatic incident.👃

I'm currently watching a 70s sci-fi serial called the changes. It's about a world where suddenly all machines start emitting a strange noise that makes people go mad.
Writing this on a smartphone in the social media hellscape, it feels incredibly prophetic

Saw Weapons - it was batshit in a very good way. I like that it knows how ridiculous it is and plays into it and tries to top itself with each reveal

Trying to figure out the point of the incredibly famous reality show about the domestic lives of Ozzy Osbourne and his family slowly drove me off the rails on crazy train, and this video was the result.
RIP Ozzy Osbourne

Finally got around to watching the Monkey - it's bloody brilliant. I thought Osgood Perkins would be a weird fit for it but his slow and awkward style really suits it. It has this peep show sigh of "life is a crushing disappointment" running underneath it all.

Checked back in on twitter and am disappointed that a lot of people I otherwise respect are still tweeting. Feeding a billionaire's AI robot. Sure there's no ethical consumption under capitalism but you're not a consumer on twitter. This is a product that consumes YOU.

Angel is such a weird show. It starts out as half supernatural cop show, half episodes of Buffy that she's not in, then from season 2 it basically becomes an ongoing vampire soap opera about various love triangles

No one seems to talk about the movies and shows Matthew Perry was in after Friends, so I thought I'd do it. RIP.

Watching the Osbournes for the first time in years. It's very far removed from what reality TV is nowadays. The editing is so much tighter. It's more like an improvised sitcom. It also helps that Ozzy was basically a puppy in man form

Got an incredibly funny and pompous comment on my review of the new Doctor Who season claiming

"You lost all my credibility for the gentle massage you gave RTD for season 1"

....yeah it's attitudes like this that are why the fandom has such a bad reputation

Squid Game 3 is as good as ever but wow is it stressful. I can barely watch a whole episode in 1 sitting it's that exhausting

This year, the Doctor fought a cartoon man and he saw a big hole. Also some lady was there and she had a daughter who was made up or something.

Just realised the Doctor Falls was the last time the doctor who fandom didn't totally hate the series finale.
The end of flux, empire of death, timeless children, battle of ranskoor.
Doctor Falls was seven years ago. It's practically a tradition to hate the ending now
