    I’m still salty that this is the direction they went with the Mcguffin for Indy 4. You’re going to take Harrison Ford’s last halfway plausible outing as an action hero and waste it on this? A little-known niche element of new age woo conspiracy shit that nobody coming into the movie cared about AND that literally sucks all the magic out of the universe the characters inhabit in favor of underwhelming sci-fi unobtainium?

    Also Shia Labeouf.

      Not only is he alive, he’s making big money off the Mossad as a psychic spy and investors hire him to psychically detect new oil fields. He owns an island, and a museum. Located in the Jaffa port in Tel Aviv, this museum is a renovated Ottoman-era soap factory featuring a vast collection of his memorabilia. It holds the Guinness World Record for the world’s largest steel spoon (53 feet long) and houses items that once belonged to Michael Jackson.

      He once tried to psychically block Brexit.

      He was no Kreskin, who was amazing.

        I don’t recall the episode, but that’s David Mitchell looking awkward with a woman inadvertently challenging him not to be a wanker with a superiority complex, so I imagine it’s Peep Show.

          I just wanted the series name. Thanks I will have a look. I see that is a comedy, and I tend to watch British comedy a lot, starting with Allo Allo, keeping up the appearances and the IT crowd. Lately the comedy Central from Poland has the one foot in the grave, which I watch when i can.

            It’s shot entirely from the first-person perspective which is a bit uncomfortable at times, but enhances the humor as well.

            Also every character is unlikeable. Which is what makes it funny.

            It’s very good if you don’t mind the subgenre of pathologically narcissistic main characters, like Seinfeld or Always Sunny. It’s also a clever send-up of the Friends era of shows about “hip” young urbanites.

              I do loved Seinfeld, but not much Always sunny in Philadelphia. Interesting thanks again. Btw I loved only fools and horses, some good lines in there.

            See if you can find The Young Ones online. And the Two Ronnies. And Porridge. And Open All Hours. And Are You Being Served? And Red Dwarf.

    “Charlatan tries desperately to cling to relevance” is a more apt headline.

    Has anybody blown James Randi’s ashes into his eyes yet?

    You expect me to believe the aliens on P7X-377 care at all about the World Cup?

      Not to be that guy, but calling that planet system by the P word is seen as derogatory in this day and age. Please refer to it by the name □□□□-□'□□. You may not be able to pronounce it correctly if you only have two orifices in your face that can emit sounds, but the locals will appreciate the effort.
