This movie is based on the Lynda La Plante British miniseries from the early ‘80s. La Plante, who also created Prime Suspect with Helen Mirren, is something of a British legend and well worth J’bel’s attention.

I was fascinated by the backlash to The Last Jedi, since I really enjoyed it. I joined a TLJ Facebook group and browsed around some reddit threads. Wow, the insane fans who think TLJ ruined their childhood really, really, really hate her. Any female character is obviously just there for political correctness and are…

He’s got nothing on 2016 champ Nihar. That dude was a straight up ice machine
