Marvel Melee! Professor X watching Doctor Strange fight Howard Stark. Fun Fact - McAvoy and Cumberbatch are the only actors to make me tea on their respective film sets. And no, I won’t be revealing who made the best cup. (It was James).
Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is the new Candyman. Which means y’all have to watch The Get Down, where he’s charismatic, sexy, and downright terrifying as the villainous Cadillac. So think

Joan Hickson once appeared in a production of Appointment with Death. Agatha Christie saw a performance, then sent her a note saying "I hope one day you will play my dear Miss Marple." 40 years later Hickson appeared in BBC adaptations of all 12 Marple novels.

This goal saved my brother’s life. When Keith Houchen scored, I ran into the garden to tell him there had been a diving header in the Cup Final, and found my bro strangling on our rope ladder. So thanks Keith.

But if I have to pick favourites, am going with The Viewing (dir: Panos Cosmatos), and The Outside (dir. Ana Lily Amirpour).
Really hope this becomes an annual Halloween tradition.
What if the ‘No’ in ‘No Time to Die’ is Dr. No? As in Rami Malek is Dr. No. If I’m right about this, your outlet is LEGALLY OBLIGED to pay for my next dumb theory.

There's a good movie out this week and it's called The Banshees of Inisherin. This one really got to me. Though don't know why people feel sorry for Farrell's character as I was fully on Gleason's side. Also Barry Keoghan is the MVP. My review...

Thoroughly enjoyed

Paul Rudd turns 50 today. Making it a good day to point out how awesome he is. First time I interviewed Paul he asked if we’d met before. I said not really and launched into my questions. Then at the end of our allotted time he said...

“I’ve got it. Two years ago, roof of the Austin Convention Center, a group of kids asked for a picture with me, and you took the picture.” Which is true, so I asked how he remembered as I don’t think we even spoke. He said “I’ve no idea but it’s good to see you again man.”
