Fin du cinema

In celebration of The Queen's life, the BBC has said that it will air Paddington and Paddington 2.

The first film will air on BBC One this Saturday and the second on Monday, the day of The Queen's funeral.

Weird times and all but this connection between Paddington and The Queen is so so bizarre..

i'm thinking somebody reasonably smart noticed at some point that the Paddington movies played very well with cupcake fascists - nb this isn't strictly the movies's fault - and figured it was a good brand to associate the monarchy with

also something something 2012 Olympics i'm sure

I guess.

Meanwhile..

thread for KING CHARLES III (regnal name george vii)

Paddington not even a British subject ffs

Paddington being a royalist has been canon since this 1986 book

'Rolling Stone' reports that Kanye West has decided to settle all outstanding beefs following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

wife's breast cancer appointment cancelled Monday, which means all breast cancer appointments are cancelled on Monday. She has a new one in a month. I'm sure she'll be fine, but that's a wait that will almost certainly cost lives. This is an obscenity, in the name of the monarchy

@GrieveWatch Vue cinemas will be open on Monday for the funeral. Only the funeral. Vueneral, if you will. pic.twitter.com/Aq4Z828Zfg

5 fucking hours? Nolan has gone too far this time

are they covering the wake and all?

IM:HMQE 1 was good, but kind of dated

I assume a lot of this is due to the bank holiday being "well your employer may or may not force you to work it BUT all the schools will be closed" - not the Vueneral though.

odds on Brian May playing on the roof of the Abbey?

I hope we don't have to wait so long for Bezos to die.

I like the way she has handled this, totally unapologetic and no whining self-pity about getting dragged and locked out of twitter.

Imagine the convos you will get

Government warns of 30-hour queues to see Queen's coffin https://t.co/VH6rUQQVcy

UK to population: "pssst, wanna see a dead body?"

Well it'll take a bunch of twats out of circulation for 30 hours, so all good.

Hearing someone describing BBC News coverage as Mourn Hub has made my day.

Wouldn't it be easier to drive the coffin around for a few days so everyone can see it? Take it to Barking and Edmonton or wherever too, let all her loyal subjects join in. In fact they could spend the next couple of months trundling it around the country as the cadaver decays and starts to seep out the cracks, while the Beeb continue their wall-to-wall coverage as a distraction from imminent mass starvation.

YouMourn

trundling it around the country ... imminent mass starvation

Might be the opportunity for a two-birds-one-stone solution here...thinking...thinking...

How do you pay virtual respects, walk past your laptop or something?

It will be available on the BBC home page, the BBC News website and app, the iPlayer, BBC Parliament and Red Button.

“the iPlayer” jesus fuckin wept

The Queen is bigger than Jesus.

trigger warning: it's a corpse!

It's hard to manufacture the sacred these days, and the more they try to pump up theawe the more ridiculous it becomes.

Wait, so day 6-9 is an open coffin, this says? I somehow doubt that
