Well done!

Ford is really good in it. Surprising for the time, but now he's so grumpy in real life, it's like ah yes, I see the anger.

The Brigade was a symptom of something I see a lot of in US TV predominantly written by middle class white writers - the worship of the middle class white culture and people's aspiration to be much, much richer: Ivy league universities, white literary writers, European holiday destinations etc. etc.
(You could argue…

Thank you! And luck to you as well.

Surely we need the question answered: who's the translator?

I love Empire of the Sun. He's a made man after that for me. (! ) Munich was great, but I was friendly with two guys who were way too pumped at the 'Jews kick ass' thing, and it turned me off the film. My fault.

Thanks for the rec!

Is a rollmop the same as herring pickled in wine?

I want to read everything on your list!

Yep. My obsession.

Oh buddy - Good Luck.You are a better reader than I.

Women Looking at Men Looking at Women - Siri Hustvedt (I cannot recommend this enough!!!!!)
The Hate Race - Maxine Beneba Clarke (started this last year, subject matter is hard, very emotional)
Rubik - Elizabeth Tan
Essays - Durga Chew-Bose (that's not the title, but the book is across the room from me! I am lazy)
Things…

They were interested in the character having a penis? Many penii? As the actor changed?

Run!
I'll say the goat did it!

Agree with you except women are NOT a minority group. We are half (or slightly more) of the HUMAN population.

That's a good thing, It shouldn't be a WOW thing, It should be 'ah I really like that actor, I wonder if the writing will support her.'
So well done, you accidentally tripped into the right reaction.

YES! She a great actor and hopefully Chibnall gives her an interesting playground to play in.

wow! now I've gotta read the book!
Can't wait for this.

'Orson Welles called a movie studio the biggest electric train set any boy ever had, but in the tentpole-franchise-superhero-coming-soon era, the trains are expected to run on time. It’s rare, then, to see a film this extravagant that also feels, for better or worse, like the work of a single personality.'

I love this cover. May buy the book because of it!
