Today I learned that the Internet Movie Database has 1-10 rating scale for all movies.
Except one.
For Spinal Tap - *only* - the scale goes to eleven.
This makes my middle-aged metalheart happy.

Fuss about book or film spoilers is performative nonsense. Change my mind.
Re-reading GRR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire. Nothing is lessened because I know the story. Every page is *better*, heavier, more meaningful than on the first read, because I now know the sorrows and heartbreaks ahead.

Here's a bird named Southern Blue-Eared Glossy-Starling, map to Blue Round Road, and receipt for Round Sweet Treats.
If dragons existed, I'm fairly sure the field guide to dragons would name the green one among the genus of largest dragons... Green Great Dragon.

I go to TV adaptations anticipating disappointment, but the new Dune Prophecy series is really, really good!
Superb casting too: the Harkonnen sisters are very immersive because the young vs old actors uncannily capture the same vibe and visual resemblance too is close enough to be believable.
