Pete's doing his Sean Dyche impression again, I see...

Tell you what, #FootballManager really is missing something without international management. I, it barely ever comes up in the news, but also: I'm idea on for a perfect, no points dropped anywhere season that makes 15 trophies in 3"years and a quintuple-treble. Not one mention of the England gig.

"It honours our country" - right, I'll stop you there, man. We're talking about slippers. In airplanes. There is absolutely no need or reason to bring patriotism into this. People just want to be comfy on their flight.

no bloody wonder the world is suffering from testosterone poisoning...

I'd rather a Dorothy Must Die adaptation.

OK, look, Universal. We know you're going to put For Good up for Best Song at the Oscars, so hurry up and put the script out already.

(They never talk about this kind of stuff on Star Trek, and maybe they should).

Technically, time travel is possible. Only backward, but if you spent one Sol, or year, on Mars and came back to Earth, your personal timeline would be 352 days out of sync with everyone else because one revolution around the Sun on Mars is 687 day, not 365.

You, uh, may want to rethink the name for that plug because it may be a brand name for another kind of plug.

So Mikey's going to be a lazy, goofballing slob and talk in memes because the execs think it's funny. Yay.

If he so much as mentions "six seven" I am going to scream the screen down.

Well that's another couple thousand hours of next year sorted...

It's probably bad that I'm hoping, if nothing else, this legaboot-spinoff thing makes the original shows more available, isn't it? They're like bloody good dust these days, especially at decent prices.

Universal Studios Monsters! ASSEMBLE!

Not you, Russell Crowe, you're banned. Go back to your ship with Ultron.

OK, I know Gambit's cards explode, but is anyone else kinda hoping Marvel give him some of the card-throwing tricks they use in Now You See Me? The way the actor throws those things just feels so visceral it hurts to see him take out the poor nooks with a three inch but of card.

OK, so the money's right, the message is wrong.

Any chance I can have my full prize money for Women's Champions League wins, SI? Keep getting 46k for draws when I'm winning. #FootballManager26

Now You See Me, Now You Don't has far too much in it to be 110 minutes, so clearly some time wizardry is involved there, and I have Questions about Rosamund Pike's accent, but it was very good fun.

Westminster Abbey in "Pissing Off Greek God of the Wild" shocker.

(Yes, he does turn up in the book. No, nobody knows why).

For the record, I posted this before finding out about the latest round of cast announcements. And if they can cast Michael J Fox as Michael J, the Fox, they can make Mihami a thing.

If Zootopia 2 drops a line about a place where a bunch of pigs live in the continental American South called Mihami, I might have to award it Film of the Year.

Heads up: If you haven't read A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking by @tkingfisher.com (and frankly that's criminal in the first place) and you're on Audible, it's part of the 2 for 1 sale right now. You won't regret it.

It has a possibly sentient, probably murderous sourdough starter in it.

Ruin a #Transformer's name by changing one letter:

Bumblepee.

So I looked into picking up Power Rangers Prime again after I fell off at issue 3. Issues 4-10 aren't on Kindle.

Welp, guess that's me out of Power Rangers Prime, then. Thanks, Amazon. Bastards.

... I lived in London. For THREE YEARS. I studied a Creative Writing degree in that time. And NOBODY TOLD ME ABOUT THIS?! I was writing dumbass POS stuff about assassins on a university campus who took a game too far when THIS was literally twenty miles down the damn road?!

Sod's bloody law, that.

So I'd get fired in about ten minutes then. Been working my current job for seven and a half years now and I can only make eye contact with maybe four or five people, all of whom work there and I've worked with directly. Never had a customer complaint about me looking at their teeth, though.

From one kind of horror creature to another! Very much enjoyed Predator: Badlands earlier (somebody give Tratchenberg a JP movie already), now for Frankenstein!

I'm willing to bet Sean Bean's Irish in Patriot Games was... Not great. Been a while since I watched it.
