I think the twist in Digger should not be a twist. Watching the film would be less frustrating if already knowing why things look frustrating. The film is far more successful as a sombre drama about coping than as a goofball sledgehammer of an eco-message

This contains spoilers for Digger, but read it anyway, because it's right. I came away from the film thinking it would have been better if the twist wasn't a twist. If it was more honest about what you are seeing then you could absorb it less frustratingly. www.theguardian.com/film/2026/oc...

theguardian.comTom Cruise’s Digger has flopped spectacularly – but I think it is a misunderstood masterpieceThis article contains spoilers for Digger: Alejandro G Iñárritu’s film may be about to become one of the biggest bombs Hollywood has ever seen – but it is destined to be re-evaluated with time

When I first moved to this village, some of my new neighbours complained that I, an outsider, got a council house for me and my 2 children. We were from the next village, a mile away.

Apparently Trump sourced the name Super Intelligence from a poll on Truth Social. He should have asked on on Bluesky. We could have voted for Terry McIntelface.

Started watching Sky’s War Game last night where Michael Gove is the PM during the Russian attack and I’m afraid it is just very difficult to watch it without thinking of this, one of the great cartoons ever published

On the BBC News Katya Adler has just described Germany, where the far right AFD keep winning elections, as entering 'uncharted political territory'. Hmmm. Where Germany is concerned I think that territory is pretty well charted.

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker.
