Owns too many books. Likes James Bond (esp. Sir Tim of Dalton), Star Trek, Blakes 7, Doctor Who & Quatermass. And that is me smiling.

I'm continuing to revisit the Predator series with Predator 2. First thoughts on the early scenes is that it's trying too hard to be Robocop with the "1997 is the future!" scenes. Plus, lots of movie cop dialogue like "the feds are up my ass", etc.

A very good catch by The Guardian on Russianisms that make the “peace deal” sound like it escaped from a Russian grammar workbook and got run over by Google Translate on the way out.
I’d add “NATO expansion” - their trademark phrase, not “NATO enlargement.”

Ukraine is the vanguard of civilization, standing against imperialist Russia and its puppet regime, the United States.
The few remaining rule-of-law democracies in the world must stand behind Ukrainian defenders with everything we've got.

Donald Trump could have just kept his mouth shut about Jamal Khashoggi.
But to smear a dead journalist, while sitting with the person accused of orchestrating his murder is just vile.
Every time this administration hits rock bottom, a trap door seems to open.

Cost of abolishing university tuition fees = £17bn
Cost of making care homes free = £8.3bn
Cost of making trains free to use = £11bn
Cost of hitting net zero = £30.7bn
The annual cost of the above is £67bn, which happens to be the amount of money given in tax relief to the richest 20% of the UK.

Columbo is on tv. It's an episode from 2003. A guy in it looks just like a young Matthew Rhys. It is Matthew Rhys! Mind blown. I still think of Columbo being from the 1970s. Rhys has just checked his email. Weird to see email in columbo. This was the show that guest-started Robby the robot.

Tonight I watched Predator, because it had been a while.
Big on explosions and matcho arm wrestling. Hardly any Predator. Repeated use of the same Silvestri music.
Then the last half hour kicks in, and it's damn near perfect.
Fun fact, "get to the choppa" was actually said twice.

Saw the Nuremburg movie. Perhaps a little simplified, but it was gripping enough that it seemed shorted than its 2.5 hour running time. I'm impressed that in this day and age we got a movie with longish scenes of talking in a courtroom. And frankly, there's no better time for this movie to be made.

I've just been to see Predator Badlands and I enjoyed it very muchly. I would never have predicted it would be a movie about an alien outcast and a broken robot, and that it would work so well. Elle Fanning was particularly good as Thia. Probably one of my top two movies of the year so far.
