One for me is that Disney did not think Lion King would be a huge success, and the gave the project to a 'B Team' of newer, less experienced artists, who usually handled TV animation. The film they had their 'A Team' work on, that they thought would be more popular, was Pocahontas.

We all know the "Viggo broke his toe" story but what's another movie fact you're personally compelled to bring up every time without prompting? For me, it's the fact that Robin Tunney is wearing a wig in The Craft because of having just shaved her head to save her job filming Empire Records.

“Listen. Farage is in there. Don’t mention the 5 million quid. I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it alright.”

Im curious, is #Zuckerberg trying to suck up to #Trump more than usual lately? Noticed a sudden rise of republican and 'official' white house accounts suddenly being pushed onto my facebook feed, despite regularly using the 'see less of this' option on these types of account.

Been house-sitting for a few days, looking after my folks cat. Went onto #youtube, which wasnt connected to any profiles, and it was interesting to see that its no differant to facebook in pushing hate content to try and increase engagement. The amount of recommendations I saw for grifters,

Trying to hate on Supergirl, the new God of War, ect. All the sorts of channels that I've said not to reccomend on my own account, and its just pushing them front and centre here. Its no wonder we have such a problem with incels when sites like these are desperate to push it on us.

Saw #BirdPhotography was trending, so figured I'd share these shots I got of a #GreatSpottedWoodpecker a couple of years ago when walking along the canals in my area. Was complete chance, as it was coming back and forth to feed chicks, whose chirping helped me find the spot it was hanging around.

So quite a few titles catching my eye during #StateOfPlay including more than a few surprises. (Even though it's not a series I got into, I didn't think we'd ever see a new Stunt Driver game!) Going to be a few busy months soon for gamers, going by the announced dates. My poor wallet is shaking.

Exactly this. Unsurprising the double standards and excuses people have to make, simply because grown men and women are able to enjoy things they are desperate for everyone to hate, in spite of how often they are just as vocal and critical about the issues with Disney.

Also the amount of people who shit on Disney Adults but obsess over popstars, which is only different aesthetically

Time to finally read The Shepards Crown, some 10 years after I bought it. When the news came out about Terry's death, it stopped me from reading his books for so long, because I wasn't ready to accept this was the end of the Discworld series. #NewBookDay #TerryPratchett

Been doing some baking, not done cakes for a while. But challenged myself with using vegan-friendly alternatives so a friend in my d&d group wouldn't be left out. Came out nicely, just needed almost twice as long as I thought to get it cooked through. The whole group approved.

Just seeing the news on Michael B. Jordan getting the best actor award. Really well deserved. Sinners is such a great film and was easily my personal pick for film of the year. And they did such a good job with the body doubles/face replacements, that you could easily believe there are 2 of him.

"Explodes when wrong" and "Twitter Poisoned" seem to be far more accurate descriptions of the one making these lists because they got butthurt and decided to be a vindictive little troll.

Still going through the Tiffany Aching books. #NewBookDay #TerryPratchett Also, Thud may have been my introduction to Discworld, but Wintersmith was the story that truly made me a fan of Pratchett, so looking to re-reading this a good 20 years later.
