JW #JamesBond Quantum of Solace. Didn't like it on release, not that fond of it now. But I did enjoy Daniel Craig striding into a posh hotel and saying "We are teachers on sabbatical and we have just won the lottery."

Hi @finishedzine.bsky.social - I hadn't seen this #DoctorWho mural in #Glasgow before. Is it Verity in that #MissionToTheUnknown publicity shot?

Perhaps one of the reasons Jon Pertwee stayed at the Doctor for 5 years, and Tom for 7, was: they didn't have fans asking them, every minute from Day 1: "When are you leaving?" #DoctorWho

Hi @finishedzine.bsky.social, something odds going on with Edinburgh's TARDISes. One is too small and the other looks like a trap. You don't get these problems with Glasgow TARDISes, do you?

Chanced upon Chas and Dave's boisterous version of Sunshine of Your Smile. Now wondering how a C&D version of, say, Abide with Me might work. Not that Spurs have been in the FA Cup Final since 1991, but one should be ready for anything.

Feel the same about the Saint movie with Val Kilmer. Perfectly decent movie - nothing to do with The Saint.
I understand people's disappointment. One of several missing-the-point film adaptations of TV shows from around then. But TBH the direction is so dull, the script is so witless and trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, and the leads so charmless no amount of deleted scenes could redeem it.

Last night's #DoctorWho was great fun. My late father in law used to say that "all monkeys look for nuts", and that seems true for those reviewers and certain types of viewer who can't watch for 5 minutes without bemoaning real/perceived "wokeness". Very tedious.

Between some who want a new lead/showrunner every 5 minutes, and others who whinge that "my show was destroyed by Nurse Who / woke African homosexuals etc", it's hard to avoid thinking that #DoctorWho is wasted on a lot of its "fans".
