🎶“Heart and humour and humility
Will lighten up your heavy load”🎶

Joni Mitchell

Drag him.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep
But I have promises to keep
And miles to go before I sleep
And miles to go before I sleep

Excellent!

If it had aged badly, well..........couldn't bear it.

Ah, no - can't do top-down.

Not immersive enough. I need a fully wraparound world, however crudely rendered.

Cannot get over how much he looks *exactly* like every doorman’s worst nightmare come chucking out time on a match night in some scabby East End bunker bar……

And Bulgakov……

“My friends have taken to comforting me in a peculiar way. Never mind, they tell me. Your genius will be discovered after you die.”

Was already really, REALLY enjoying #Plur1bus, but my respect for Vince Gilligan (and his writers room) just scaled even greater heights with the MG gag.

IYKYK (And anyone who ever owned an MG does)

Christ, these people are thick.

I mean, it truly offends me that they're walking around, using up valuable oxygen and consuming the same entertainment media as me.

Impossible to overstate the rock hard pre-teen crush I had on Fenella Fielding in this movie when I first saw it.

Later transferred, perhaps not surprisingly, to Kate Bush.

Fascinating reading, the annals of Thorgest the Assimilator......

I mean, to be fair *none* of it is very credible/grounded/real world. The whole thing reads like a fever dream.

Why the Coen’s were the perfect choice to adapt it.

Interesting - Reagan believing in this stuff. First magic, then trickledown economics..........

At least magic works! 😂

Daniel Woodrell, ‘Winter’s Bone’ and ‘Tomato Red’ Author, Dies at 72 Daniel Woodrell, author of "Winter's Bone" and "Tomato Red," died on November 28 from pancreatic cancer.

Oh no!!

Own everything he's ever written. A completely original voice. Lyrical and gritty in effortless counterpoint.

This is a huge loss to American literature.

We can but hope........

Ferrets scare me more…..

I mean - just take all that talent and finance and **make a different movie about different cops and heavy heist men and leave one of the finest crime movies of all time the fuck alone, why can't you, it's perfect as it is, can't you fucking see that?**

Really.

I am begging you.

OH PLEASE DON'T DO THIS, I AM BEGGING YOU!

New title for Hegseth just dropped......

Damn! Would love to attend a couple of vivas for this one......

"Ms Singleton, were I to come at you with this Level 4 fire orb, what in your researched opinion would be an appropriate response?"

*hurls Earth elemental thunderbolt*

To be fair, there is a rather uncomfortable historical overlap between ultranationalism and "the old ways"........

(See also - The Good Old Days™, when >>my Country<< pushed everyone else around.)

When your administration is really just seventeen rabid ferrets in a trench coat, it's just a matter of time before the disguise fails......

(The only remaining problem is those Americans who'll see it and still say "Hey, those are MY KIND of rabid ferrets. Would love to grab a beer with them.")

Team members can argue, even fall out. They're still a team.

We walked. We left the team. Spat on the other members on our way out the door. Spent five years reviling them with childish bullshit lies and insults.

And a party that promises to smash up all rapprochement is currently polling 30%

To be fair, NB, that isn't the case with the Ghost games. Yotei is exquisite, and the dev team clearly took all the time they needed to get it that way.

It's just the Dark Souls approach to the boss fights, and a slightly queasy cake-and-eat-it approach to story.

Not like we didn't see the signs.

Once a breast enlargement hypnotist, always a breast enlargement hypnotist.

He's selling snake oil just like Farage - just to different customers.

I think in both cases, they needed longer in the oven. MP2 felt rushed out before time (limited enemy types, some rather empty-feeling levels, hastily bolted together storyline).

MP3 was more an unresolved identity crisis thing. Remedy & Rockstar having very different narrative DNA that clashed.
