This Poirot novel is taking a real turn

“Special forces kidnap a foreign head of state” is literally the opening scene of Air Force One and I will believe until the day I die that wanting to do a cool thing from a movie was a significant factor in the decision-making process

Poirot thoughts so far

1. The Mysterious Affair at Styles: Quite good for a first novel! The plot is clever and Poirot is one of literature’s premier Weird Little Guys

2. The Murder on the Links: A little too reliant on sheer coincidence, but it does cement narrator Hastings as a hilarious dunce

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Been reading the Poirot novels while laid up with the flu and one thing I think the Kenneth Branagh movies fail to capture is what a prissy little bitch he is. This dude is talking shit 24/7

This this this. And if you, the public, cease to care, why should the President?
NB: When I, a professor of law, profess that an act is unlawful, I am not doing it to inform the lawbreaker, but rather to inform you, the reader.

So the question “what, like you think he cares?” is inapposite. The question is whether *you* care. I think you should, which is why I bother.

I've spent the last three weeks wrestling with Wake Up Dead Man. Here are some of my thoughts—I have many more.

I am wildly grateful to talk about art that deals seriously with the world we've created, and somehow still holds on to hope.

My mom: I would never have done Elf on the Shelf if it was a thing when you were younger

Me: Because it’s too much work or because you oppose the surveillance state?

My players every new campaign:

>looking for a new villain
>ask your DM if this one is Sylvanas Windrunner again
>he doesn’t understand
>pull out illustrated diagram showing all his previous villains were Sylvanas
>he laughs and says “it’s a good villain, guys”
>start the campaign
>it’s Sylvanas

Insane but true fact: making US roads as safe as Canadian, Australian, or European roads would save more lives than eliminating murder from the US.

to have an affair with one longshot presidential candidate twice your age that you’re profiling may be regarded as a misfortune; to have two looks like carelessness
