I've been enjoying Stam Fine's reviews of old movies and TV shows on Youtube recently. I recommend not watching it if you dislike dad jokes or puns delivered in a dry/flat way, but I like that he generally doesn't seem to aim for negativity and will speak fairly fondly of shows even though they may not be great.

Though his new review of Twister actually made me stop the video and groan:

Bill, who himself bears a remarkable resemblance to Bill Paxon but crucially not Bill Pullman ... oh man, don't
start that: Paxton was in Twister, Pullman was in Independence Day of the same year. I mention this mainly for my own records, but 1996 was the year of the box office double Bill.

For the second time in my life, I'm an earthquake survivor. 

[Grey Fox]

Do under 5s really count?

Glad you survived, DG.

[Sheilbh]

Yeah - I was on a call with someone in New York just after it happened. All fine but I think first one they'd experienced.

Glad to hear the resulting flight delays did not undo you.

Californians should have a parade for your bravery

Earthquake?  What earthquake?

I'm upset I missed it, being in Bahstin today.

Just saw that Wrestlemania 40 was last weekend. Considering the first one I watched was IX (what a way to start ), another sign I'm getting up there in years.

I see the Saudis are scaling back Neom - initial plans from a 170km line city in the sand, to 2.4km.

So reading up a bit on what's going on in WWE. Apparently, they had an Austrian, "Günther" (aka Walter Hahn from Vienna) who set a record for longest Intercontinental title reign (previously held by Honkytonk Man) at 666 days, losing it yesterday at Wrestlemania. Weird, normally Austrian media will report on Austrians being successful abroad





I think he might be portraying a bad guy.

Also, apparently Logan Paul is now a champion in WWE? Yes, that's Logan Paul the ex-YouTuber who had the infamous "suicide forest" video: https://www.businessinsider.com/logan-paul-suicide-forest-japan-backlash-blessing-2022-3

I thought he was boxing these days. Would have thought WWE beneath him.
Logan Paul that is

This guy. Holy nazi vibes. I do like the super basic trunks outfit. Is that the way now? Can't imagine full costumes being too cool.

He even gets badly translated German entrance music

And his entrance to the ring:

I'm glad wrestling is still silly.

He lost to Sami Zayn, from my hometown.
