Alright, don't mind if I do. You can post further requests here or drop me a line via PM, whatever works.

That can be arranged. Is there any particular image you'd like to see as Julia's thumbnail?

I swear, the only time Chrissy Teigen ever seems to come on my radar these days is when she's being called out for doing something wildly hypocritical. Hard to believe though that a grown adult did this for what sounds like several months or maybe even years. I know a decade ago, the internet was something of a different place, but that's inexcusable.

Granted, it's a little out of the ordinary since things like OnlyFans are usually the domain of celebrities who no one has heard from in years. However I think I'm right in thinking that Diora has done numerous nude scenes in the past, not to mention posing for Playboy at one time, so it's possible that she simply doesn't view this as being much of a departure.

I think the way both arcs ended were pretty definitive and coming back in any capacity would probably just harm that. In the case of Iron Man too, I think Stark and "Stark Tech" had perhaps become a bit too much of a crutch that they would often lean on for explanations and connections to the extended universe. Yeah, I'd been something of a fan of the Inhumans books beforehand, but the production values of the show were just so pedestrian, particularly in relation to how grandiose it seemingly wanted to be. They were restricted to the point of having to play down the powers of the characters and obviously, that was a pretty big part of what made them compelling.

If I'm honest, it always surprises me when video game movies turn out so badly, especially when they're based on genuinely immersive material. It shouldn't be too much of a stretch to think that one could take something like Uncharted or Tomb Raider, which (in the nicest possible way) are reasonably linear and simply do a straight adaptation, yet for some reason they still can't seem to get it right. Overall though, as you say, I do find that's usually the problem, perhaps coupled with the comparative lack of interactivity in movies. Obviously, in games where the story is bit silly, you can just concentrate on the fun bits, but it's harder to overlook in a movie with a poor plot. I'd heard that Road to Perdition was, albeit never sought out the original book, but I didn't know about History of Violence. I guess many movies have been adapted that don't really advertise their comic roots.

Yeah, while maybe not the most faithful to any particular game in the series, the first film does provide a decent blend of action and horror with some good sets and visuals, as well as a pretty good performance from Milla Jovovich. Unfortunately, it was nearly all downhill from there. Incidentally, although I'm not sure who's in the director's chair for the reboot, it feels to me like the sort of thing that could perhaps have played to Snyder's strengths.

Woah Blind Man's Bluff or Blind Man's Buff?

Yes. Have you ever fallen down stairs?

Yucky Broccoli cereal?

Hot Kate Bush?

They're thinking about their next meal. If you make the decision to describe yourself as indecisive, does that make you decisive or indecisive?

Props to Geraint Thomas, hanging on for a stage win in the Critérium du Dauphiné. Obviously made possible by good positioning at that narrow hairpin, but still a real gutsy effort.

Frustrating for Sabalenka but an all too familiar tale today. Converting tour domination into grand slam form appears to be elusive and unfortunately, it's not new for her any more. Despite Kenin being the highest seed left now, I think it's still Swiatek's to lose.

Sad to see Barty have to retire hurt, particularly after being unable to defend last year through no fault of her own. While the men's side is shaping up with only Thiem's exit really seeming notable so far, the women's draw is looking more and more unpredictable. If the unexpected were to happen again with Swiatek, dare I say things might just fall into place for Serena 24?

Proper Everton that, as the saying goes, but a "Big Dunc at Real" documentary would have all the makings of another four-quadrant smasher for Netflix. "Isco, stick yer heid on it, son!"

A pretty awful game, but I will admit to getting a kick out of some of Savage's commentary. Particularly during the shoot-out when, having spent the previous 120 minutes treating Villarreal like a team who'd collected enough crisp packets to win a trip to Gdansk, he kept predicting that their players would miss penalties, only to see them dispatched with ease into the top corner. "That was probably the best one of the night Robbie."

I couldn't help noticing that Barty and Swiatek are drawn to face each other in the semi-final. If they both get there, and obviously there's no guarantee that they will, I feel like it could be the beginning of a new rivalry on the clay.

I believe that was the jist of the Roland Garros statement, which I also had a hard time wrapping my head around. When the "official" position is that media appearances are emotionally and physically draining enough to create disadvantages in the first place, it really only serves to confirm Osaka's stance.

Must have been pretty disheartening for the ones that were going for the stage win, especially after watching Ganna kill himself at the front of the peloton for practically half the race.

I know for me, because until last April I hadn't ridden for many years and wasn't sure if it was something I would stick with, it made more sense to buy a "budget" hybrid, but I'd now quite like to upgrade to something that will really last. Usually though, I have a moment before buying something online that leads me to try and read more, then I procrastinate, look at other bikes, get confused and end up missing out altogether.

Hopefully, Naomi Osaka is okay after withdrawing from the tournament this evening. On one hand, I suppose I can see the perspective of people saying hey, she earns millions per year and this is the least one can do. On the other, post-match pressers have been unwatchable for a very long time now. The questions are basic at best, clueless at worst and usually met with curt, disinterested answers that offer as little as possible. The best solution for all concerned would probably be to think about revamping the format. It's a real shame that one of the most forthcoming and insightful speakers on the tour is being put off doing them.

Bernal is the real deal. A very impressive win, especially given his back injury. Bravo.

Option #2 it is, then.

Yeah, we didn't really get the fireworks we were expecting in the GC, but a show of strength from Bernal instead. In terms of individual efforts though that was dynamite from Caruso and Martinez. On a side note, I find it impossible to believe that the riders are in any way happy about having crazy fans running around the roadsides brandishing chainsaws. They may be the loveliest blokes in the world, but just no.
