A Brief History of Nobody Wants to Work Anymore

I know the feeling 😂

Film nerds who know more about video essays than me - is there a good/accessible video essay on the topic of fictional worlds/world-building in film that you would recommend for teaching?

Look at Jean Paul Belmondo do this fucking insane stunt in THE BURGLARS on his birthday

Etymology of the day is ‘bumf’: a shortening of ‘bumfodder’, 19th-century slang for toilet paper. It was later applied to any throwaway material or paperwork.

Believe it or not, Fly Me to the Moon features as a case study in my book The Computer-Animated Film: Industry, Style and Genre. Yes I bought the DVD, and yes there is a framegrab in the book taken from Aldrin’s bizarre live-action opening 😂

The bonus extra of having a heavy teaching load and very large number of personal tutees for the past few years is the sheer number of student reference requests. It’s Monday evening and I’m up to 6 students SO FAR THIS WEEK 😳

🚨WINS since August 2022 for their clubs:

Ten Hag - 63
Klopp - 62

Thought this was a very, very interesting stat..

Klopp’s mighty Liverpool vs United in possibly their worst era and the stats are pretty even.

Klopp trophies: 6
United trophies: 4

Klopp higher in league: 5 times
United higher in league: 4 times

Klopp v United: Won 7
United v Klopp: Won 5

Surely if that was a penalty yesterday for Elliott, then Ederson's tackle on Garnacho earlier this season was also a penalty?
Or does 'excessive force' only apply when it's a Utd player making the tackle?

And for those of you that say, its a pen, AWB's shouldn't be diving in…

Fun Fact:

Over 3 games this season Liverpool had 87 shots against Manchester United.

They won 0 games, dropped 4 points in the league and were knocked out the FA Cup.

Not a cock-up, but when I worked (briefly) for Total Film between Warwick Film & TV degrees, I went to a press conference at the Dorchester for Borat where I was told by Kazakhstan's most famous export (in front of the whole room) to tuck my shirt in because I 'looked like a gypsy.'

Delighted to welcome .Sarah Thomas to the .Fantasy/Animation podcast to discuss Indy 5, including turns to Harrison Ford’s star image, aged physicality, the digitization of celebrity, ‘legacy’ cinema, and the star’s role in supporting the continuity of a franchise! #deaging

Man Utd have started 31 different back lines in 43 matches this season:

1.AWB, Varane, Martinez, Shaw
2.AWB, Varane, Martinez, Dalot
3.AWB, Lindelof, Martinez, Dalot
4.Dalot, Lindelof, Martinez, Reguilon
5.AWB, Lindelof, Martinez, Reguilon
6.Dalot, Lindelof, Evans, Reguilon…

Admittedly it doesn’t take much to get me talking about my HP theories so it was an absolute pleasure to discuss #ThePrisonerOfAzkaban (the best one?) with the Fantasy/Animation guys - do have a listen!! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

I think the second one with Gary Neville looking straight down the camera is the best 😂
