As one studio after another began clamoring to pay Sinners’s $90 million-ish asking price, the director’s agents at WME notified them of a few strings attached. Coogler would retain final cut (a creative dispensation reserved for the industry’s crème de la crème), command first-dollar gross (that is, a percentage of box-office revenue beginning from the movie’s theatrical opening rather than waiting for the studio to turn a profit), and, most contentiously, 25 years after its release, ownership of Sinners would revert to the director.

And they say it like this is A Bad Thing, creators should have more control over the things they make - Hollywood shafting people just makes everything worse. The studios are still going to make plenty of money.

Yeah, I've cut out added sugar apart from special occasions but I'd still pick up something for family or friends (Malteaster bunnies or white chocolate and raspberry eggs have been popular in the past) but I haven't seen anything that didn't look like a standard chocolate brand trying a rip-off egg with underwhelming contents. I might look a bit harder tomorrow but I can't see myself getting anything this year.

What I have noticed is an attempt to sell seasonal tatt as they do at Halloween and Christmas - I've even seen "Easter bunny please stop here" signs and lawn decorations that seem an increasing trend.

Not me.

The BTP jumped on this almost instantly as they'd been under fire because trans women on the force could strip search those AFAB.

I'm waiting for next shoe to drop when someone AFAB complains because they get strip searched by a big hairy bloke because he was also AFAB. At no point does anyone seem to have considered the effect this law will have on trans men now having to go into women-only spaces. I don't think JK Rowling cares about the messy fallout from her War on Trans Women.

Turkey is also in Europe. Partly.

I'd guess that, while this is heading to the cinema, Amazon would be looking to start a TV series too.

Too late for that, but I look forward to it.

Poop and shower? Waffle stomp?

The hose clamp is for fixing your undergarments.

Let us know what you think - it doesn't open here in the UK until tomorrow, so it will be next week before I see it.

Always best anyway, but I did have a sneaking suspicion about that second trailer. The trailer for Death of a Unicorn turned out to just be a summary of the film, which was annoying.

I'm just miffed they don't still have the print for sale. Still I will own that Dad's Army of Darkness t-shirt one day.

I am also old as fuck and that is probably the best bit.

Lends itself to all sorts of reinterpretations:
