Carry On is so bad. tarron very explicitly dupes out the bomb luggage as a trick but then ... Jason Bateman just takes the bomb on the plane. and at one point says "nice trick switching out the bags" so I guess there's a scene missing

Swapping the bag lets them track it through the barcode, and is why it subsequently won't fit in the overhead locker. It's an essential, if ridiculously specific jigsaw piece in Egerton's very stupid plan for stopping him.

No it went through the bag check. Worst terrorist

Fury also said something about the awkward period of transition into "peace" when a war is almost over. It repeatedly shows veterans exasperated that this poo poo is still going on even though they clearly have the Germans beat, and the incredibly tense dinner scene with the German women that felt like it could have turned into a home invasion horror movie any moment. It's about what it takes to win a war, what it can mean for the vanquished, and how boneheaded it can be to keep on fighting.

Also, cool tank fights.

Aubade

By Philip Larkin

I work all day, and get half-drunk at night.
Waking at four to soundless dark, I stare.
In time the curtain-edges will grow light.
Till then I see what’s really always there:
Unresting death, a whole day nearer now,
Making all thought impossible but how
And where and when I shall myself die.
Arid interrogation: yet the dread
Of dying, and being dead,
Flashes afresh to hold and horrify.

The mind blanks at the glare. Not in remorse
—The good not done, the love not given, time
Torn off unused—nor wretchedly because
An only life can take so long to climb
Clear of its wrong beginnings, and may never;
But at the total emptiness for ever,
The sure extinction that we travel to
And shall be lost in always. Not to be here,
Not to be anywhere,
And soon; nothing more terrible, nothing more true.

This is a special way of being afraid
No trick dispels. Religion used to try,
That vast moth-eaten musical brocade
Created to pretend we never die,
And specious stuff that says No rational being
Can fear a thing it will not feel, not seeing
That this is what we fear—no sight, no sound,
No touch or taste or smell, nothing to think with,
Nothing to love or link with,
The anaesthetic from which none come round.

And so it stays just on the edge of vision,
A small unfocused blur, a standing chill
That slows each impulse down to indecision.
Most things may never happen: this one will,
And realisation of it rages out
In furnace-fear when we are caught without
People or drink. Courage is no good:
It means not scaring others. Being brave
Lets no one off the grave.
Death is no different whined at than withstood.

Slowly light strengthens, and the room takes shape.
It stands plain as a wardrobe, what we know,
Have always known, know that we can’t escape,
Yet can’t accept. One side will have to go.
Meanwhile telephones crouch, getting ready to ring
In locked-up offices, and all the uncaring
Intricate rented world begins to rouse.
The sky is white as clay, with no sun.
Work has to be done.
Postmen like doctors go from house to house.

Rewatching one of my favourite comedies, Four Lions. Every time I watch it I feel like there's some level of subversion and social commentary I'm still not getting. The contrast between Omar's pious (regressively so) brother and Omar's own apparently-liberal interpretation of Islam feels like it means something, also the scenes where he's with his family show a genuine, wholesome love. And the scene immediately following, where Barry tells Faisal his choice to martyr himself has already been made, that feels like a point. I get that it's a fun satirical kind of humanization, like 'these guys aren't nefarious terrorist masterminds, their connection to any logistics is tenuous and they're just a bunch of stupid angry young men' but like I said, I feel like there's some subtext I'm missing. Either way it's a great British dark comedy and it still makes me laugh on the fourth or fifth rewatch.

Not making a dig at you personally, but I have never liked describing something as being butchered. Butchers are really skilled at cutting up animals; they use sharp knives and they know where to cut. One might say that a well-edited film has been butchered.

Anyway I'm curious since I've never really seen too many of the classic Bond movies - and honestly don't really intend to - how many characters and moments in this remake are true to the originals. I thought the whole Daniel Craig arc was in some way or another supposed to be a re-imagining of some of the original stories, is that false? When is there going to be a bald guy stroking a pet cat?

I was scrolling through YouTube shorts and I kept getting extremely loving grotesque human monster spider AI videos and I had conflicting thoughts

The only time I've been genuinely scared by media is when I'm expecting a video about how to choose the freshest tomato or whatever and it's this loving weird thing with a million arms and and an AI voice screaming about "ONE HUNDRED PEOPLE PANICKED ON THIS PLANE WHEN THIS MONSTER HAPPENED DO YOU THINK IT WAS A SKINWALKER"
