So today I learned that there were tie-in novels for THE DOLLARS TRILOGY that went beyond the movies and boy do they have some amazing titles.

It's got everyone in it from Paul Young to Young Marble Giants, and from Salt-N-Pepa to Chas & Dave.

Tony Hadoke has piqued my curiosity with his book about The Quatermass Experiment, and as ever eBay was there… lurking…

One of the many things I hate about that “I poured too much sugar on my pasta, hewp me I’m a dumb widdwe babyyy” AI ad is that a person who can be bothered to make pasta from scratch can be bothered to properly research a solution.

Fourteenth Doctor watching the world collapse on May 23 whilst idly picking his teeth: I’m sure he’s got this #DoctorWho

Look, I like Billie, she’ll be great, and if (as it looks) it’s a “what’s going on here” regen with a familiar face then that isn’t in itself a terrible idea, but WE ONLY JUST DID THIS and this one is THE OTHER HALF OF THE GUY WE JUST DID IT WITH. Do! New! Things! #DoctorWho

Bit funny really that Final Reckoning bothers to tell us what the Rabbit’s Foot was from M:I-III but it can’t be bothered telling us what the main villain of this movie’s motivation was. Did JJ Abrams tinker with it as revenge?

Most of fandom Saturday evening if he doesn’t, y’know

Rushing to the shops in the hopes they haven’t run out of The Wheel In Space novelisation. The fucking state of me honestly

I’m finding it a bit bizarre how RTD handles villain reveals given how well he did it in 2007. Show us what this means! Don’t just go oooOOOooo, that’s a name that is, ta-dah!

That lady who dies in the Dead Reckoning flashbacks ought to win some sort of fridging award. Her death is the catalyst for Ethan Hunt’s entire life and we don’t know anything else about her whatsoever. RIP Dead Doris, maybe you were good at crosswords idk

I wish the Mission Impossible Reckoning movies had left in the de-aged back story stuff. It might be nice to understand the villain’s antipathy towards the hero, and more broadly why we should give a shit about this inexplicably magic bad guy - or Hunt’s entire alluded-to past.

I do know AI is useful for some people. Great. I get that. But when someone says, “I don’t like it” and you say, “Fuck you, eat it all,” you’re not really making a case that it’s actually something the other person would in fact like if they just gave it a chance.

Ooh! Fancy book alert. Time to find out what this whole Quatermass thing is about… @tenacrefilms.bsky.social @tobyhadoke.bsky.social

Do Labour base this kind of stuff on positive feedback of some kind? Because all I can find online when they do a Reform dog whistle is “you no longer represent me, what are you doing” or “not bigoted enough, nice try.” Can’t they see this doesn’t have legs?
