Can’t really understsnd why, with all the technology available, AppleTV doesn’t have an option to watch Hijack season 2 with English subtitles for the German dialogue *only*. Having subtitles on everything is so annoying.

In order:
1 - The DC versus Marvel omnibus. Hefty and lots of crossover fun.
2 - Dr Werthless, the comic autobiography of the man who nearly killed the comics industry.
3 - A goddamn perfect Yorkshire pudding.
4 - A dog with not a shred of dignity left.
Happy Christmas…

@alexhorne.bsky.social there’s still a day left but I’m confident in saying the @taskmaster.tv advent calendar has been fantastic. My son has totally forgiven me for not getting him a Lego one like usual. It’s brilliantly constructed.

Hatless, I remove my cycle clips in awkward reverence.

“This is my boss, Jonathan Hart - a self-made millionaire. He's quite a guy. This is Mrs. H. She's gorgeous. She's one lady who knows how to take care of herself. By the way, my name is Max. I take care of *both* of them, which ain't easy; 'cause when they met... it was…”

Tremendous evening at @thebugle.bsky.social 18th birthday show with @zaltzcricket.bsky.social, Nish Kumar, @alicefraser.bsky.social, @podchris.bsky.social and John Oliver.
Although my wife, on her first experience of The Bugle, got *two* Zaltzman pun runs, so naturally we are now divorcing.

I meant to see One Battle After Another today but totally screwed up the times and we got there 40 minutes late.
So instead we saw I Swear. Please, anyone reading this, go and see it. It’s a remarkable film - warm, funny, heartbreaking and triumphant. Best mistake I’ve made at the cinema.

Amazon Prime Video is recommending for me:
Bloodbath At The House Of Death
Lifeforce
Caligula
Why has it turned into the dodgy video store at the top of the high street* when I was a kid?
* you know the one. Next to Fine Fare supermarket. That one.

@colleendoran.bsky.social This was a lovely thing to receive this morning. And honestly, the work that’s gone into this is just *astonishing*. It’s hard to turn a page because of taking in every detail that’s on the one you’re reading.

Hear me out - now is the time for Warhammer 40k romance novels
We've had Warhammer 40,000 war stories, adventures, and horror for years, but Games Workshop is sleeping on tales of love and longing.

What a find in a National Trust bookshop - Dredd strips from the Daily Star. No idea if it’s worth a fiver, don’t care. Not seen one of these in decades. #2000AD

@gralefrit.bsky.social Yesterday I saw a (terrible) production of Macbeth, where the porter scene is yet again a massive roadblock in the plot.
Today I read the Robert McKee bit in Be Funny Or Die and, my God, I was nodding furiously at the refutation.
