Beware of Toddler: Pest Control (2021)
Crazy dream I had.
I dreamt I was in my mid twenties working in London for a government department.
I was eager and one way to progress was to join "the club".
The hitch was the youngsters had to entertain the oldsters.
It was raining when I got to the club...
In a just society you'd be able to retire off the back of that.
Private equity is a societal cancer.
Today's random thought is, what the hell was going on in Ross's head when he got back with Rachel instead of trying to stick with Chloe the Xerox girl!?!
Retro sabers would have been so cool!

I apologise for the chicken.
Emerald Fennell's next film will be a re-boot of the Transformers franchise and will cover Optimus Prime's early years at Oxford.
😆
My crime thriller, Nine Knives, is out!
So Whitley Bay now has two published crime writers.
Ann Cleeves (Vera) and me.
If you steal a car, make sure there isn't a body in the boot!

Yeah. The first lightsaber, I imagine, would look like a hacksaw
I was going to say that,
Nothing's harder.
Nothing takes longer.
Especially in genre stuff, characters should get one thing that they are, and character development is overcoming that thing.
Angry to chill, sad to happy, cocky to humble.
But be careful with character development.
Because it's also interesting to boring.
I had a similar reaction to characters in Alien Romulus.
What's Rain like? It's not a two word answer.
Rain & Osha seem, to me, to be normal people.
Not characters
Characters aren't people.
They are parts of people.
They're thinner, less rounded than real people.
& being thin, they cut through...
After 3 eps, what's Osha like?
Er... she er... seems... nice?
There's no naive farm boy, angry princess, cocky smuggler.
Osha has childhood trauma but seems to have gotten over it completely by ep 1.
I'm sure it'll come out later?
I've been trying to watch the Acolyte.
I've liked Star Wars & was interested in seeing if the negative fuss was just the culture wars.
It's a bit like some older Star Wars
The dialogue feels similar to Phantom Menace &, like Phantom, no one's any fun.
I'm 3 eps in & it's hard to describe anyone...
Thanks! 😄
Whooo!
Beano artist and writer creates twisty crime thriller!

This looks pretty awesome!
But then I would say that wouldn't I!?
Sad to hear Rob Grant has died.
Red Dwarf was a huge part of my life.
I remember reading Backwards in my 20s
Fantastic stuff
He made the backwards time flow so logical and stuck with it so long that when time went forward again it was jarring and felt weird.
A sad day.
Im a highly capable individual.
It doesn't come up very often as that's not funny.
How did Vivian and Eddie end up being Mr. Star Wars and Alien?
Wife, "I can't find the tiles i want for the fireplace. You'll have to make some."
Me, "WHAT???"
Also me...
This is my second attempt.
The first one broke.
The circle should be circular.
Gimme a break! It's my second tile!
