Not just sunscreen and smoking, but living through two world wars and the accompanying famine that was prevalent in both (at one point in WW2 the UK was less than a week away from exhausting it’s food supplies and having to choose which citizens to starve) wars, during and after the fighting, the great depression,…

But since Clifford is already predisposed to disbelieve Howard, based on what he went through with his son, he could just turn around and call that someone covering for him. After all, what is he going to believe, an addict and his friend or his own lying eyes? 

Yeah, but that is easy to dismiss if you’ve already decided that someone is a functional addict who is losing control, which is what Clifford has, he can rationalize it as “you got someone to cover for you” or “you lied in your diary”. Especially since the play seems to be just to trash Howard’s reputation in the…

Starting to think the toughest job in the world is a Warners PR spokesperson. What is their burnout rate, do we think? 

The best place to jump in is whenever Marvel decides to wipe away this current bullshit. Then and only then will I return to X-men comics. No More Krakoa.

Nothing borderline about it, this is a company who obviously doesn’t have an inhouse legal department or the sense to see why they need one. 

They are just learning why in all major companies marketing has to run all their ideas through legal before going to copy. If they had done this then legal would have shit a fucking brick over it. 

There are always rumors, but you can’t act on rumors only on statements. 

If Willis’ acting was just lazy cash ins from an actor who had checked out but liked the pay checks, then the Razzie would be fair. That is what it is for, and to be fair we didn’t know about his diagnosis prior to his announcement so it was legit, but now knowing what we know then it is only right to rescind it.…

Still no “Monkeys Go Home”, the cowards. 

Donald Dewer, the first minister of Scotland, slipped on a patch of ice. Stood up and shook it off, he was functionally brain dead by lunch time and formally died later the same day when his family took him off life support. Blows to the back of the head are terrifying, and I remember a bit of advice I was given as a…

DiMaggio knows the industry, he’s probably just holding out for the better deal. He knows the fanbase will roast the show without him.

Old and tired out, it was also. Hmmmm, yes.

The Book of Boba Fett is The Mandalorian S3. Just we’re following a different Mandalorian in it.

Yoda wasn’t a muppet. Muppets are made by either Muppet Workshop or by Jim Henson’s Creature Workshop; Yoda might have been performed by Oz, but he was designed and made by Industrial Light and Magic with no connection to the Henson company apart from being small, green, and living in a swamp. 

Yeah, I know we don’t like the sequel series but the Empire didn’t die officially until the much mentioned Battle of Jakku. Add in a bit of rounding, because people like dealing with years in units of five, and we’re good enough. The Mandalorians were living in a basement for a lot of that, so they can’t be expected…

So the defense is that they think they may have gotten bad ammo, because they got bad ammo from these guys before? Then why the everloving fuck did they use them again? They are denying criminal incompetence by pleading a different type of incompetence. 

Hey. Shadduppaboutit. 

I think it is keeping the same cast, but who knows?

The second series is going to, probably, be 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. That is how the show ends according to the BBC iplayer, which all episodes are available on so fire up the VPN to see it, as it has the book ending and then Fogg et al talking about a mysterious giant narwhal attacking shipping.
