LOVING this show for Jimmy Yang & Chloe Bennett, spoofing US cop shows and skewering of ethnic character tropes and stereotypes in the process. It’s clever, funny and a little Wing Chun-ny.
No, really, it has Wing Chun in it…

If we ACTUALLY get snow next week I will forgive the universe for sending an angry wasp to attack me this morning. If it happens, if there is a light dusting, I will consider us even.
‘Us’ meaning me and the universe obvs. Not me and the wasp, for his head is now his ass.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE #MissionImpossible, but that trailer is a James Bond trailer. Seriously. It is.

What? Oh, nuthin’, just reading the article where leading entertainment platform @variety.bsky.social gets its black actors mixed up. What about you?
Pro tip: Don Cheadle is NOT Samuel L. Jackson.

I’m of the squishing opinion but my wife, who HATES them also refusing to kill them or let me kill them. So we got one of these things instead, which now just means they fall to floor first and a mad, screaming chase scene ensues.

I think there is more chance of Tommys spirit having landed in a Vision mainframe and he is reborn as their android son. (4/4)

So, my theory for how the finale of #AgathaAllAlong will resolve:
S
P
O
I
L
E
R
Y (kinda)
Given Agatha’s origin in killing her mother who was trying to kill her, I think Agatha will end up saving Teen who is trying to save her. (1/4)

As a palette cleanser to awfulness, here is a beautiful #Irishpub called The Long Hall in Dublin. Its interior has remained the same since 1881.

I have quite a few streaming services available to me, but none of them have The Goonies or Monster Squad available to stream right now.
I mean, what the hell are we even doing people?!

Saw #TheCreator last night: thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s not perfect - timescales and editing are a choppy, but in terms of spectacle it is GORGEOUS small-p political sci-fi. The central message will take some thinking on, but ❤️is at its core. I rushed home to see my kids after.

Watched #DialOfDestiny last night and aside from THE WORST LAST 10 MINS IN THE HISTORY OF CINEMA (honestly someone should be in The Hague) I really enjoyed it. Not an especially good send off for the character, but an entertaining adventure nonetheless!

I - a screenwriting lecturer- go to the cinema on my own all the time and no-one who knows me, bats an eye.
But tonight I am seeing Barbie on my own, and let me tell you: otherwise reasonable/rational friends and family are LOSING THEIR DAMN MINDS 😂

Yesterday, for the first time in a long time, I read a comic that blew my mind, and then straight away I read it again. Setting aside the Tempus problem; the last minute saves, the dying desperations, the story seeds that are planted here = wow. LOVED it @GerryDuggan. #XMen
