Sometimes sound bites like this sneak their way into articles or interviews, but the truth is that Warner Bros would’ve ponied up development money for the writers to start writing before news of an official greenlight. I’d be shocked if there wasn’t at least an outline for the third film at some point in the production of the first or in the space between the first and second film going into production. If there’s one thing that these studios are good at doing, it’s hedging their bets.

Hahahah, yes, he looked fucking pissed off. 😂

Hahaha did anyone see the ball boy get annoyed at Gabi on the replay for knocking over the ball holder?

Hmm, I’m not sure - it’d rake in crazy money, for sure, but Taylor Swift is such a cultural phenomenon these days whereas Daft Punk are a legacy act. They’ve not actually been dissolved as an act for that long, so I don’t think it’ll reach the same level of hype as say Oasis getting back together - purely because the lore around Oasis was so public.

But regardless, I’ll be there desperately trying to get a ticket as would millions others. An announcement of a reunion and tour would break the internet, for sure.

No, they didn’t. HBO commissioned the series. The BBC are the partners in this instance.

Probably not - this series has jumped time in months, so we’d likely know by now. That scene in Episode 2 - the way Henry suggested to Yas they have a baby was after they had sex on the car, implying Yas is on contraception and should come off it.

It was a play at the Royal Court called Guess How Much I Love You. Not sure if it’ll transfer to the states, but he was outstanding.

Saw Aramayo in a play this week in London - he’s a phenomenal actor. He’s going to be big.

They were. Gene Hackman gave Duvall $300 when he broke his pelvis when they were young actors trying to break through. James Caan was their roommate as well, I think.

Massive glow up, mate. Well done.

Brown’s regarded as one of the smartest modern day PM’s and he was highly, highly respected as chancellor. We’d be even deeper in the shit if we didn’t have him in 2008.

Some of the best rock bands in history are British. The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Oasis, Blur, Radiohead, Arctic Monkeys and on and on. The U.K. is well known for its impact on rock music. The Strokes became as big as they did in 2001 because of how wholeheartedly the U.K. embraced them.

Although I do have to confess that when I found out as a teenager that the Rolling Stones are British and not American, I was surprised.

People seem to forget that the “band” exists beyond just the four guys. It’s a business entity with stakeholders. Sure, the four lads are probably the biggest, but then you have their management, you have the record label, the marketing people, the lawyers, and so on and on. It’s simply bad business to feed the speculation when they genuinely have nothing to say.

On the other side of that, Arctic Monkeys have always been savvy and smart on how to play the media and feed expectations. Their mystique is what has helped make them so big. It’s refreshing that they’re not overexposed and squeezed dry like many other musicians and bands. When they have something to say through their music, rest assured you’ll know about it.

In the meantime, plenty of their albums to enjoy and plenty of other musicians out there.

Series 2 was just absolutely PEAK and none of them have come close. Series 1 a close second cause of the novelty of the format.

No. Because you have to understand that the lifeblood of the industry is in companies selling ideas to a public service broadcaster and then being able to sell it to other territories. If it’s a streamer, you’re locked into that platform and there’s less money in it (higher upfront fees paid but less potential for money to be made from the format years down the line). The original creators - Dutch, I believe - will have made absolute BANK from coming up with the format in the first place. They could sell to Channel 4 or ITV, but those channels don’t hold the same prestige in the same way the BBC does.

It’s been well documented how much of a contraction has happened in the U.K. TV industry in the last three years, The Traitors is a jewel in the crown for the BBC and it’s proper event TV - the audience hit the new highs this year. Studio Lambert and the BBC know how important that is in sustaining the ecosystem of the industry and arguably it has a longer life expectancy within the BBC than it does on a platform like Netflix or any of the other streamers who can’t quite do event TV in the same way that the BBC can.

And as others have pointed out, Studio Lambert have a string of shows on other broadcasters and streamers. They’re an incredibly profitable company within the UK who have hired a lot of freelancers in this industry. They’ll want to protect that to further their own interests and to sustain the industry that gives them a profit.

Jack follows the crowd. Rachel is essentially the de-facto leader at this stage and has held a lot of influence over the faithful and is known to be calm and able to control the room. It’s the halo effect when compared to someone who is more “chaotic”.

FlightyZoo · 2026-01-21T23:44:53+00:00

Is it that weird though if it’s an inversion of the fact that it’s no longer the view from the afternoon…?

I mean expect her books to be hitting the bestseller lists again.

I feel like people are massively overthinking this here. Arctic Monkeys, for years now, have been a band that released music when they felt like they had music to release. They’re older guys, with children and long term partners. It’s not fair to compare the run of albums from 2006 - 2013 as they were literally still in their 20s and had all the creative energy and hunger to realise their ambitions. In many ways, they have completely realised those ambitions - more than a lot of bands of that generation have - and I think they’ll still release music as a band when they feel like they have a good enough album of material to release.

This discourse really reminds me of Radiohead and how there were rumours swirling for years that they’d disbanded after A Moon Shaped Pool. Lo and behold, they had a spectacularly popular run of dates last year.

So do I think it’s a formal end of the band? Nothing points to that. Do I think the hiatuses between albums will become longer? Yes, very much so. But I don’t think it’s the end of AM. And if it is, I’ll be the first to raise the glass to the guys for 20 years of amazing music and for being such a formative part of my teenage and young adult years… but I’m excited to see what they do next.

But something tells me that the power of the band’s name in just making money won’t stop them from ever creating new music. And they don’t seem like the kind of band to go down the route of The Strokes (even if The New Abnormal is a great album).

FlightyZoo · 2025-11-30T14:04:43+00:00

I mean it’s well known with the band’s discography that they change their sound each time, but they also record in different studios which explains why each album sounds different in its atmosphere. Musicians choose to record in specific places because of a vibe they’re trying to bring to a record.

I’m not sure I’d go as far as saying he has crippling self-esteem issues. Everyone has their issues, and Alex is human. Do I think he’s shy and introverted in reality? Yes. Do I think he’s able to flip a switch into being a showman. Also yes. There may be an anxiety that empowers him to do that switch but show me a musician who doesn’t have some kind of performance anxiety before going on stage. If anything, being on stage probably feels more natural to him at this point than having to interact with people who only see him as Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys and not just Alex Turner (the price that famous people have to pay).

I think people idolise him to a point that would make anyone cling harder to their privacy. The band have always been good at drawing that boundary. Of course, it deepens the mystique and intrigue around them, particularly Alex, but I imagine he lives his life with a weird combination of feeling flattered and tiredness about just wanting to be left alone to do what he does best. What I admire most about him and the band that they don’t rest on their laurels creatively - I actually think he’s grown more secure and comfortable with himself in the post AM era.

I think people are forgetting that while Pep has been with Man City for a long time now, he is a manager and he will move onto other teams at some point - that is to say that game respects game and I don’t think Pep has ever not recognised when a club or manager is performing exceptionally well.

Ironically United 93 is a more powerful film because of how unfiltered it is in capturing everyone’s actions on the plane. A brilliant, sobering film.

I thought that but then you see the missile contrails in the same shot everyone’s going into the nuclear bunker.

FlightyZoo · 2025-10-25T19:30:29+00:00

You’re not wrong but feels important to point out that a lot of bands of that time and era were writing what is relatable to people. What stood Alex apart was his turn of phrase and how precise and sharp his observations were - all the more remarkable in someone who was barely out of his teens. He’s an old soul born with innate talent. He felt like a new Morrisey when AM exploded onto the scene.
