Oh my god. I can't believe this Paul Brereton authorised asking the alleged perpetrators, inc Kathryn Campbell, for their input into the #NACC's media statement The investigators asked the ALLEGED PERPETRATORS IF THEY WERE OK WITH WHAT THE INVESTIGATORS WERE SAYING ABOUT THEM!

Over the summer, I went to the very North of the Isle of Lewis on a field trip to map the geology there with a close friend of mine. The google street view car went past. We had a geological hammer. The following masterpiece, now on google street view, was the result

Phillips took three for the match, which I suppose makes him Santner’s Little Helper.

I reckon the average footy fan cares less about fixtures doubling up on a Saturday, and more about being able to watch their team play footy. Thursday night is good for broadcast deals and nothing else.

For all the 90s kids - this will remain the most favourite match ever. The teams, the players, the situation, the excitement, the nervousness, the commentary, just GOOSEBUMPS.

The idea that a business has to make a bigger profit than the previous year otherwise it is "failing" is insane. A better measure of success is if it makes enough to pay all its staff a decent wage, everything beyond that is unnecessary. Infinite growth mindset will kill us all.

for my 40th birthday today my wife got me the only thing a man could ever truly want: one of the actual frogs from the end of Magnolia. (on a date like 10 years ago we saw the magnolia frogs used as part of an art exhibit and I said “if you ever wanted to get me anything…”)

Completely disagree. Few moments have moved me more these past few years than this. Everything Anderson is about is right here and it’s so lovely
I’ve said it all before on here, but it’s very hard not to notice that all the emotional sincerity and rawness that makes Tenenbaum and early Anderson spectacular disappeared when he stopped writing with Owen Wilson.

Respectfully, disagree. His movies have gotten more stylized but I still find them emotional. Grand Budapest is my fave, his grand thesis. The storybook aesthetic hides a deep well of pain, loss, and yearning, but also these stories are all we really have. I find that so moving

No word has ever been asked to do as much as “basically” is here
With @pika_labs v1.5 you can basically be James Cameron.

Very sorry to hear that this is the final print edition of @totalfilm. The magazine was so supportive of our films right from the very beginning (@jamie_graham9 was even a zombie on set outside The Winchester in ‘Shaun’). Sending all my love to all the writers and staff who poured their movie love into this magazine for so many years.
Gladiator II is on the cover of Total Film’s upcoming issue 356, which hits print and digital newsstands on October 10. It’s with a heavy heart that we announce that this will be the final issue of the print magazine. We like to think that this final print edition is a showcase of everything that Total Film magazine strived for, with a thrilling blockbuster on the cover, A-list interviews, fair and impartial reviews, smaller interesting movies nestled alongside the more mainstream fare, and above all else a passion for cinema radiating out of every page. In the cover feature, we’re talking to Ridley Scott, Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington and more about returning to the Colosseum for Gladiator II. From epic set pieces, to Scott’s unique approach to shooting, to Maximus’ legacy, it’s the perfect primer to this autumn’s most anticipated sequel. Print subscribers will receive their issue with an exclusive cover shortly (and our subscriptions team will be in touch shortly to discuss next steps). So for now, it only leaves us to say a huge thank you to all the staff, writers, designers and photographers who made Total Film print magazine what it was over the past 27 years. And we’d also like to express our endless gratitude to everyone who has read, subscribed to or otherwise supported the magazine. While the magazine itself is going away, our archive content and expert movie and TV writing will continue to live on at gamesradar.com/totalfilm.
