To my UK friends, today is a very good day. You have the chance to correct the pain inflicted on you since the Tories came back to power. It won’t be perfect or pretty, at times you’ll doubt you voted right, but it’ll be a damn sight better than what you currently have to deal with.

as long as you source wood from managed forests and steel from as sustainable supply chain as you can find, guillotines can be surprisingly eco-friendly to manufacture, and their potential positive impact on the oil, tech, and financial industries is immeasurably high

Of course, my favourite of his performances is Oddball. I was describing him to someone as a hippy tank driver in World War II and, while that description was overly simplistic, Sutherland's energy and enthusiasm make him shine above his other co-stars (who were all trying to have their 5 minutes).

Snow was evil through and through and for him, he's using evil to maintain the way of life he'd helped to invent. When the final denouement occurs, suddenly Snow isn't the most evil but that's only because of a race to the bottom of the barrel. That's all behind that wistful smile of Sutherland's.

Watching the last of the Hunger Games movies with my girl, I was amazed at Donald Sutherland's ability to make a monster like Snow still feel likeable. It was the way he interacted with Jennifer Lawerence, it had the cadence of a grandfather chiding their favourite grandchild.

Hmmmm, you can almost smell the “I’ll ALWAYS have another job lined up” BS coming off him. And by another job, I mean that in a supposed meritocracy, this person brought no merit to the endeavour at hand.

We tried, of course, but it was only after we grabbed a taxi home and decamped into the family kitchen that we started to describe it. And since then, it’s helped me with designing my own OC’s and scenarios.

I remember going to see it at the midnight opening screening with my two siblings and just coming out and just breathing air in the cold night, being unable to figure out words to describe what we just seen.

While A Space Odyssey deals with space distances and man’s place in the universe, Interstellar deals with relativity and how it can interact with people and their personal connections to each other.

Rewatched this after five years, I think, since my last viewing. Can’t believe it’s a decade old already. While I went into the film with expectations it would be like 2001. It’s since gone on to become a whole other thing for me. (1/2)

Since it’s Kino, there’s a good chance they will re-release if this does well for them since they’re very 4k friendly.

I forgot to buy it when it was out from the previous label so I might bundle it with some low-cost blu-ray's the next time I'm on Bezos' yacht fund marketplace.

Oh, you don't like its weird four cuts with multiple ways to win or lose? ☺️ I prefer the All Good ending because it's the most implausible.

I'm more partial to her HK stuff too but I got a chance to review it and couldn't pass it over. The villains are so dumb/good and Richard Norton's clearly supposed to be in a different film. It's great.

Working on reviews and I’m thinking that I want to tackle Gundam, but there are a couple of titles I’m avoiding as I promised colleagues and friends I’d look at them with them. I think I’ll try Double ZZ because it hardly gets chatted about beyond “connection to franchise/best boy/girl/suit”

Finished X-Men ‘97 and my god, what an ending. Looking at how many of the comic storylines that were woven into the end and yet, fresh and new. Plus my favourite X-Man is still my favourite. #xmen97

Today would have been Starblazer voice actor Amy Howard Wilson’s birthday. A very kind person, I only interacted with her once or twice online and she was lovely to talk with. RIP.
