    Movie What's the last movie you saw? (7)

    Kevin Spacey won two Oscars and the power to make any movie he wanted and just threw himself into some of the dullest films ever made. I’m not comparing Hanks to Spacey in other ways, but I think there’s a similarity there, albeit better. I also quite liked his wacky turn in Elvis, he could do...

    I get you mean votes and not nominations, but do you mean Saturday or the regular Sunday?

    🌀 🌀 Tropical Cyclone Alfred 🌀 🌀 QLD / NSW

    Schools closed in NSW down to Taree which...is extremely far south. I assume that's just for the heavy rainfall and potential for flooding on the Manning, which is prone to it, and not the risk of the actual cyclone hitting that far down. A lot of concern for the people of poor Lismore, which...

    Ah I wanted to go! How was it? And yeah, I’ve a few options here. I could include artists I’ve performed in concert with, but feel like that could get me a Billy lol.

    Isabella Rossellini wore blue velvet with Laura Dern as her date for the night, which was lovely, but Lynch probably deserves more than that!

    Oscars 2025 discussion

    Pretty good ceremony, really. The James Bond tribute was dumb. I love him and all but I’m not sure why Quincy Jones got such a special tribute, and it seems a lot of this was in lieu of not having the Best Song nominations perform, which I think is a mistake. Conan was the best host they’ve had...

    Movie What's the last movie you saw? (7)

    I’ll defend Wes Anderson generally but I think Hackman sets this one apart that a lot of his others lack for, as he basically told Wes to **** off when directed to deliver his lines in his very typically mannered style and gave the performance he felt worked best for the role. It gives a dynamic...

    I don't think the trailer was very good, no, but it was a funny, entertaining, crowdpleaser. I think this is just about the best result we could hope for.

    The movie it's from, Disco Dancer, was especially huge in the USSR, where it was the second highest grossing film in its history. The film's hero competes in an International Disco Dancing competition, and the big final comes down to India vs Africa vs Paris, so I'm not really sure how those...

    UK The UK Thread feat. Race Riots x PM Keir Starmer - How long?

    Realistically, things seem to be on Russia's side right now and it seems unlikely that's going to change. A peace deal should've been discussed in 2022 when things were going better for Ukraine but that optimal window closed. I don't like that a country can invade another one and walk away with...

    13 of 19 votes in, so I'll do a quick update before the tags of doom. One song really burst away from the pack overnight but is being chased down as the day goes by, so it really could go one of several ways. Three still with donuts, with two of those in a tight battle for the Billy. So, your...

    I'll do a quick update now because I'm about to step out for the beginnings of Mardi Gras festivities and won't be back in front of the PC until whenever I get up tomorrow. There have been seven votes so far and a reasonable spread - first, second and third are on 14, 13 and 11, so it really is...

I have PMed everyone who has sent votes in with the link to the song and the opportunity to switch their vote, as well as correcting the playlist so people listening now should not notice. There...
