Up far too late creating characters for Age of Rebellion. I only need six for a one-shot but have come up with twice that many and I love them all. Two groups?

My son tells me that four Beatles films are currently in the works. Is this the Beatles Cinematic Universe? Will we also get Stuart Sutcliffe and Pete Best films and eventually an Avengers style crossover film? BEATLES INFINITY WAR.

Bond and Ms Innuendo slowly drift to earth on a parachute, debris from the falling Spectre Killsat leaving trails in the sky.
"Oh James, I thought you were dead?"
"Ah, that's a long story, and if I told you I'd have to kill you. And I do have a license to kill..."
*Winks at camera. Roll credits.

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.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

More research. Manga adaptation of Guardians of the Whills, the book by Greg Rucka about Baze and Chirrut's adventures. Also Dawn of Rebellion, a brilliant source for FFG Star Wars covering the Rogue One / Rebels era.

Cannonball Run is such fun. Burt Reynolds and Dom Deluise were such great friends and you can really see that in the blooper reel, which is so funny.

Have had a great day at Fanboy3 playing DCC ably helmed by @amacdon6.bsky.social - great to role dice with @clownf1st.bsky.social @daftoldefart.bsky.social @jaje7406.bsky.social and the rest. Now I'm watching Cannonball Run trying not to think about work and other things.

I mainly bought this for the punny title and really nice artwork, but I am now enjoying the story. Feels like it could have been a 90s TV show. 😂

Birthday film choice by me was The Wrath of Khan, as my mother in law bought me a boxed set of the films. It's fitting as it's Kirk's birthday in the film, as are the themes about accepting mortality and aging. A lot of the plot would work in an age of sail setting. And that score by James Horner. 😍
