Owns too many books. Likes James Bond (esp. Sir Tim of Dalton), Star Trek, Blakes 7, Doctor Who & Quatermass. And that is me smiling.

Hollywood actors spend a lifetime honing their craft to imitate the seething malevolence here. No portrayal of Kathy Bates, Nurse Ratched or Dolores Umbridge comes close to this horror.

That’s exactly what he thinks, because that’s simply his way of thinking. And Europe is sleepwalking into a fucking disaster.

I've loved Sigourney Weaver ever since one of my all-time favorite movies, ALIEN. Couldn't resist going all fanboy on her yesterday & asking for a photo. She told me she's now in the cast of The Mandalorian. Talk about bad timing: she's now in that galaxy far, far away, years after I checked out! 💔

The thing about Hitler's rise to power is that we have known how it was done for a long time and that the constitutions of other western democracies are vulnerable to the same methods, but nothing at all has been done to raise our defences. Why ?

I don’t understand why people attempt to denigrate Hallmark Christmas films by referring to them as “too cheesy”, as if that is a bad thing? I mean, have you *had* cheese? It’s not exactly the insult that you think it is.

It sure looks like Russian intelligence attempted to use military drones to assassinate the President of Ukraine inside an EU country.
Looking forward to more thoughts from Belgium on why freezing Russian assets is an escalatory move that might compromise the peace process.

So Matt Smith has been my favourite Doctor Who since 2005.
I've been rewatching his episodes. Brilliant. So, I continued with Peter Capaldi's episodes. And recently I got to Heaven Sent and Hell Bent.
And Peter Capaldi is now my favourite Doctor Who since 2005.

I'm continuing to revisit the Predator series with Predator 2. First thoughts on the early scenes is that it's trying too hard to be Robocop with the "1997 is the future!" scenes. Plus, lots of movie cop dialogue like "the feds are up my ass", etc.

A very good catch by The Guardian on Russianisms that make the “peace deal” sound like it escaped from a Russian grammar workbook and got run over by Google Translate on the way out.
I’d add “NATO expansion” - their trademark phrase, not “NATO enlargement.”

Ukraine is the vanguard of civilization, standing against imperialist Russia and its puppet regime, the United States.
The few remaining rule-of-law democracies in the world must stand behind Ukrainian defenders with everything we've got.

Donald Trump could have just kept his mouth shut about Jamal Khashoggi.
But to smear a dead journalist, while sitting with the person accused of orchestrating his murder is just vile.
Every time this administration hits rock bottom, a trap door seems to open.
Cretin behavior.
