Ask anyone close to me and they'll tell you that I'm annoyingly committed my belief in the possibility of change, not only in society, but in the hearts of individuals (even those who I don't like at all).

And its not like that belief hasn't been rewarded sometimes.

But man.

I think Ghost Protocol and Rogue Nation are my favourites. They’re lower stakes and more grounded (in a world where both of those things are only in comparison to Dead Reckoning and Final Reckoning!).

I enjoyed Final Reckoning. The underwater sequence was genuinely amazing, I’m a sucker for a lost sub story and (and this will be meaningless to most) once I realised it was Metal Gear Solid levels of nuts I was way into it. Too long at the beginning- could’ve got to the aircraft carrier quicker.

Cis allies loudly declaring support also helps push back on one of the main goals of the anti trans movement, convincing the world that hating trans people is Normal

Every random cis person going "well duh i'm chill with trans people who isn't" means that idea can't spread

[turning up to the fist fight with a loaded gun]

maybe Americans wouldn't be so obsessed with "seasoning" if they actually had access to produce that tastes of something

A series of three screenshots from the film "Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade", from the humorous scene where Indy is telling the bad guys that Marcus Brody is multitalented, only to cut to Brody bumbling his way through a crowd. 

The following captions are below each panel 

1. Showing Indy and his father: "Millennials - Generation Alpha are digital natives. They've grown up already using every technology you had to adapt to."

2. A close up on Indy, his father still in the background:
"They know every smartphone, watch 3 screens at once, spend 10 hours a day online. With any luck, they've got the tech skills we need already."

3. Showing Marcus Brody in a crowd of seemingly Middle Eastern people:
"Gen Alpha - Does anyone here know what a c drive is? Is itanapp?"

Having now finished Slow Horses Seapn 4… I did not realise how much I needed someone to write the cross between Thursday Murder Club, Smiley’s People and The Prisoner set in the retirement home for Service folk who know too much

If you want an evening of very funny family entertainment, Harrogate Theatre’s pantomime β€˜Beauty and the Beast’ is highly recommended.
