    Was probably me. My favourite film of all the films that were up for best picture at the Oscars along with Past Lives. I hope it finds a big audience on streaming. The irony in some of the scenes is hilarious, like when Monk is on the panel deciding what book is the best and the white writers...

    Fair play to him for opening up about his struggles. Still a lot of work to do but it shows how far we’ve come that public figures now feel comfortable enough to talk about mental health in public rather than the usual “stiff upper lip” stuff we used to hear endlessly. Its not a sign of weakness...

    Psychologists and college professors also attribute that to why younger people these days are so fragile because their parents over protected them. I was probably in the last generation that played outside. When you’re young, you need to learn about the world and about taking calculated risks...

    Just a really bizarre appointment (if it happens) all round. I’m not anti Southgate but at the same time I wouldn’t say he’s achieved anything more than par. Certainly hasn’t done anything out of the ordinary. Doesn’t have a particularly impressive CV at club level either which of course is...

    Doesn’t help when organisations like Cancer Research got criticised for “fat shaming” for a campaign they did a few years ago that compared obesity to smoking. I mean it’s literally their mission to educate the public and make them aware of the dangers over eating which is a major cause of...

    Watched the new Ghostbusters film and enjoyed it. Don’t care what the reviews say. Some of the special effects were a little ropey and there did feel like a few too many characters, a bit like an Avengers Ghostbusters movie. They are the only minor complaints I have with the film. James Acaster...

    Yeah it’s the best thing on tv right now. Somehow it’s not got a massive audience over here in the uk. If it was on Netflix instead of Disney + I bet more people would watch purely because more people have Netflix. Disney +, FX and HBO far and way the best content, Netflix is quantity over...

    Going forward I believe we have the best players, and we have depth. We almost have too many attacking options to choose from. Defensively we are still suspect and other countries have the edge on us. So whilst I’d say we have the best players going forward, other countries have better defenders...

    The problem with the England team is we (and by “we” I mean the fans, the media etc) is we always blame the manager and always will. It’s never ever because the players aren’t good enough. So it may be true that Southgate isn’t a top manager and we do have some very good players, there’s 4-5...

    I get where you’re coming from. My mum has dementia. Goes without saying I’d like her to be around as long as possible but seeing the other poor sods in her care home and the level they are at, well, I don’t want her to diminish to that level. So I totally get what you mean.

    Doesn’t stack up against the calibre of forwards they had 15-20 years ago IMO. They’re a good side, they’re just not the best team in the world anymore and haven’t been for a long time. Tbf I think international football is pretty even. There’s no team that’s clearly better than everyone else...

    Appreciate Brazil don’t have a fully fit team out tonight but looking at that squad they’re really not all that. They don’t have any world class forwards except perhaps Vini Jr. certainly not the legendary conveyor belt of forwards they had in the 90s/2000s. No doubt they will be favourites for...

    Apparently the drugs they give you after the chemo are just as bad as the chemo according to family members of mine that have had cancer.

    I agree it’s not a good look. I am not fussed either way about the monarchy, I’m fairly ambivalent towards them. Kate has always been quite dignified IMO and has handled herself well. As you say she’s a young woman with a terrible illness that I’d imagine pretty much every single person on this...

    Some trigger warnings are good. I get emails from most brands I buy from asking if I would prefer not to get emails about Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. My dad isn’t around anymore so personally I’d prefer not to get the emails, that’s a considerate thing to do. Like with anything, some of them...

    And a lot of people who want every immigrant to come here and experience the good life spend half the time slagging the country off and complaining about how bad it is and how intolerant we are. Not sure if they realise that the immigrants that have settled here and have been a success story...

    A lot of the older (pre 80s) Disney films have disclaimers before them now in case they cause offence because the attitudes were obviously different back then. I wonder if it’s dawned on the people that are behind this movement that there will be disclaimers and trigger warnings in 50 years from...

    Case in point to what I was talking about earlier re James Bond. People act surprised when old films don’t stack up to today’s more progressive standards. Appreciate them for what they are. Its like watching a film from the 50s and saying “why isn’t anyone using an iPhone?”

    The last one was pretty good. The one with women got a lot of bad press, it’s not a great film but it wasn’t as bad as the reviews made out. But it wasn’t funny. Had nothing to do with the fact that women were in it, it was a lot of the same cast and the same director from Bridesmaids which is a...
