Bigots, TERFs and other such morons, including those who believe DEI practices take jobs, just fuck off. They don't, you're an idiot, I'm being polite, and no you won't change my mind.
Everyone else? Hello! Film and TV nerd here. It's nice to talk.

So I looked into picking up Power Rangers Prime again after I fell off at issue 3. Issues 4-10 aren't on Kindle.
Welp, guess that's me out of Power Rangers Prime, then. Thanks, Amazon. Bastards.

... I lived in London. For THREE YEARS. I studied a Creative Writing degree in that time. And NOBODY TOLD ME ABOUT THIS?! I was writing dumbass POS stuff about assassins on a university campus who took a game too far when THIS was literally twenty miles down the damn road?!

yes yes we all know about the Edmund Fitzgerald, rest her soul, but did you know about the ship laden with explosives that sank in the mouth of the Thames in 1944 and could explode at any minute and which attempts to disarm keep failing

So I'd get fired in about ten minutes then. Been working my current job for seven and a half years now and I can only make eye contact with maybe four or five people, all of whom work there and I've worked with directly. Never had a customer complaint about me looking at their teeth, though.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

Target is now requiring its employees to smile more
As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

I'm willing to bet Sean Bean's Irish in Patriot Games was... Not great. Been a while since I watched it.

I want to watch Prey and KOK before Badlands tomorrow, and I'm knackered after having a bit of a mooch in Cardiff today, so Frankenstein shall be tomorrow night's movie.

NCIS, a spin-off of JAG which is still going now and has itself spawned some six spinoffs of itself.
Name a sequel that overshadowed the original (can be books, movies, video games etc.)

Trust me, the '00s BBC show was worse.
Wait, the new Robin Hood show is doing fantasy magic sh-- and Sean Bean is The Sherriff? Well that sounds ...BAD? but also like I want to watch 100+ episodes of it once a week for several years?

The Twits on Netflix? More like The Pits. Absolute bollocking shite. No trace or remnant or sniff of Dahl's charm, a script full of absolute twaddle and absolutely nothing to redeem any of it. I hope the pay checks were worth it, because this film isn't.

Uh, pro tip: Old Grudge wipes out Typhon's opening phase pretty much on it's own. Max out Lunar Ray and apply liberally and you'll take him out faster than the garbage. #HadesII
