I don’t know how far along pre-production was on the original film, before they canned the director threw out his script and brought JJ back with new script. But even then it shouldn’t have added that much!

Where are these goons coming from all of a sudden? Feels like there’s been a rash recently. Or have they just managed to avoid my notice until I’ve only now hit a seam of them?

I’d be a whole lot more enthused about the #ENG World Cup qualification campaign if I didn’t know that sure as clockwork come the Finals next year they’ll completely go to pieces while treating the whole thing like a massive personal inconvenience and imposition on their valuable time.

So that’s it then. Eldest daughter has Moved Out. She’s been independent, had her independence, for a while, was as likely to be spending the night at her BF’s as here. But it’s quite symbolic, 20.75yrs of… stewardship… over. We’re still supporting her until uni finishes, but now her life is… hers.

I think the worst thing for me, at first glance, was the use of Marilyn Monroe, a woman whose face and body were and have been continuously exploited well beyond her death, as an example of someone whose likeness you can manipulate.

A miracle they’re still alive. Elated for their families. Can’t help but think of all the hostages who would have also come home two years ago had Netanyahu chosen his own people over his thirst for war.
