Does anyone remember an epilogue to Death Note where Ryuk goes back to the Shinigami realm and meets a new arrival that we slowly realize is Light who has no memory of being human?
Everything I look up says it doesn't exist and the creator says it doesn't exist.

The Fleming Estate rejected the idea that Bond was a code name.
Christopher Lee was the real James Bond. His exploits around WWII were Fleming's inspiration.
That said, there's no real reason a reboot couldn't make it a code name in honor of the original Bond.

You either state or heavily imply that James Bond is a name that goes with the 007 assignment, not a one-man identity. I thought that was what we were supposed to assume anyway?
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.”

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

I read Godot in highschool lit. Our teacher started the lesson by telling us most people don't like it, but for some reason prisoners love it.

Hello, I'm an engineer in a movie. It's a sci-fi film because that the only time anyone finds engineers in any way entertaining.
Hello, I'm an author in a film. I will be seen doing anything but writing a book, because typing is boring. Then I will have a 30-second montage of clicking away at a keyboard, I will hand a ream of paper to my editor who will declare it to be genius and a week later I will be atop the NYT list.
Hello, I'm an attorney in a film. I have a pure and perfect knowledge of every area of practice in every jurisdiction. Nevertheless, I will be corrected by a plucky law school grad who just passed the bar. After some stubborn resistance, I will silently nod and take her under my wing.

We celebrate the ideals this country was founded on. Ideals we have always fallen far short of. But it's the striving toward those ideals, the slow inevitable progress, that we have celebrated.
And in this dark hour, we need to renew a commitment to achieving those ideals.
And in this dark hour, we need to renew a commitment to achieving those ideals.
What, exactly, are we celebrating tomorrow?
Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy?
Our new concentration camps?
Our dying economy?
Our ditching due process?
Our corruption?
Our broken legislature?
Our corrupt SCOTUS?
Our ridiculous buffoon president? #FourthOfJuly

Woodworking day. Added some bench dogs to my "lightweight traveler's bench" designed by Rex Krueger.
Working with this bench, realized I need every inch I can get planing longer boards and needing to sit on the bench to add weight.
Just hammer from below to pop them up and hammer them down.

Maybe it's just me, but there really hasn't been a lot of sci-fi films in the last few years. And the quality of what we have gotten has varied wildly.
Is it because we're actually living in the scifi future we dreamed of in the 90's and it's so disappointing?

POTUS is openly accepting bribes.
The only two bodies that can hold him accountable, are compromised and will do nothing.
The DOJ has endorsed the deal and said it is legal.
Congress will not lift a finger out of fear.
A Midterm landslide is the last chance we have.

With the failure of the US to lead, we're also seeing the uselessness of the UN to step up.
But NATO is very slowly waking up. They're starting to ramp up their own military production and making plans for their own defense without US involvement. The question is will they enter Ukraine.

Lil Marco is learning that diplomacy is difficult, despite the fact that his boss promised to end this war in 24 hours with one phone call & said it “wouldn’t even be that hard to do.” What he won’t say is this isn’t getting done because Putin WANTS war.

The time for politics as usual has passed. The strategizing for the midterms is too little too late. Lives are being destroyed, rights trampled and lawful orders of the courts ignored.
Act now or there may not be a midterm.
