James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

This was my 100th movie review to go live this year, a milestone of import to no one but me, but what else is social media for? 🥳
ENZO 📽️ is about a teenage boy with a crush, a crush which is not quite sexual though it kind of is, and I liked how it handled its issues of privilege and maturity pretty well movieswetextedabout.com/enzo-review-...

Enzo (Eloy Pohu) is sixteen or seventeen, a dangerous age. He’s still very much a child, but thinks he isn’t. Having a scooter and some limited amounts of freedom isn’t quite adulthood, but he is too ...

It’s difficult to underestimate the extra burden that this is placing on our public libraries. For example, on a daily basis library workers are now filling the in-person/human service gap that billion euro banking institutions have abdicated from to maximise their profit margins.

As more of our lives move online by default, digital ageism has quietly become one of the last unchallenged prejudices, writes Fiona Daly.

The Bosco Leroy Biopic

120 Bahadur (looks like one hell of a war movie)
The one where the rival enters doing the splits between two cars, which only JCVD or Buster Keaton could ever have done in the West

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.
It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

If you were a visitor from a distant land and had to understand the purpose of the democratic party elite from only their actions not their words, what would you say their function is? I think this is an important question to understand our situation clearly.

Middle Aged Men are difficult to think of gifts for- it is why there are so many jokes about just getting them socks.
