Pre-covid they needed a limited cinema run for awards I think.

I think they used to do that with Danny Dyer DVDs, although that was something to do with putting information on the DVD covers rather than any possibility of an award.

Don't call them "movies" or "films" - just call the fucking things "pictures" and be done with it.

My granny (god rest her soul) used to call it "the pictures". She used to call the video game arcade the "honky tonk" for reasons I've never quite worked out. A honky tonk is an old term for a pub with a piano in it. I call films "talkies" or sometimes "feature presentation" which neatly avoids the whole movie/film hornets nest.

Eh, I saw the Irishman in the cinema. Confused now.

Wow. So did I, and I completely forgot!

Are you completely sure it was the other egos that were bruised there mate.

Yes, I'm sure.  I'm a cunt.  I'm an arsehole.  I'm a loser.  I'm a complete fuck up in every way.  I despise myself and think of ways to kill myself every single day, but I'm also inordinately honest and I can assure you that I ain't no egocentric.

Oops. For a minute there, I forgot myself.
