I read that only 37% of the people who started watching the show actually ended up finishing it! How has this show not been cancelled with such poor viewership and being so expensive to make?

I pray that someone stupid at Barca comes with 50-60 million and takes Luiz 'dribble dribble dribble bad pass' Diaz off our hands.

Rooting for City No way do I want Arsenal to win the PL with 89 points when we didn't with 97 and 92 points.

Cate Blanchett Joins Zellner Brothers’ Alien Invasion Comedy ‘Alpha Gang’ https://variety.com/2024/film/global/cate-blanchett-zellner-brothers-alien-invasion-comedy-alpha-gang-caa-media-finance-mk2-films-1235995591/ Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett is set to star as the leader of the “Alpha Gang,” an alien invasion comedy by “Sasquatch Sunset” filmmakers David and Nathan Zellner. The hot package will be launched at Cannes by MK2 Films (“Anatomy of a Fall”) handling international sales and CAA Media Finance handling North American distribution rights. “Alpha Gang” is set to start filming in the Fall. “Alpha Gang” marks the Zellner brothers’ anticipated follow-up to “Sasquatch Sunset,” the buzzy absurdist comedy starring Jesse Eisenberg and Riley Keough which was the talk of this year’s Sundance Film Festival and is currently on release in the U.S. via Bleecker Street. “Alpha Gang” follows alien invaders sent on a mission to conquer Earth. “Disguised in human form as an armed and dangerous 1950’s leather-clad biker gang, they show no mercy… until they catch the most toxic, contagious human disease of all: emotion,” reads the synopsis.

Handling the Undead is a 2024 Norwegian horror mystery film, directed by Thea Hvistendahl from a screenplay by Hvistendahl and John Ajvide Lindqvist, based upon the novel of the same name by Lindqvist.

City have almost caught up with Arsenal's goal difference. If City win 1 and draw 1 and Arsenal win both then it will be down to goal difference ! Either way, an exciting finish to the season!

I would like future Joe Abercrombie audiobooks to feature Ineson. Make it happen Joe!
