A new Bond actor to be announced by Christmas, reportedly, and even with a concentrated giddy-up you'd have to think a finished 007 film is at least another three years away; almost a full decade on from Craig's last outing. I haven't missed Bond. Has anyone?
Some tardy chap protesting the aliens in Spielberg's Disclosure Day outside The Savoy - 53 days on from release (not my photo)
Jaws 5: Farewell and Adieu Quint origin story; from WWII navy recruit to the USS Indianapolis to becoming a shark hunter. End on him scraping his fingernails down a chalkboard.

Struggling to comprehend the mentality of a grown man who would walk against pedestrian lights into traffic at a busy junction, knock a kid - my kid - off their bike, and jog off leaving them injured and bleeding in the road. Cowardice is too small a word.

I swear to god if a war plane flies over this stadium, I'm turning it off
Objectively hilarious to witness the American idiocracy spit the dummy over The Odyssey, led by Skidmark-In-Chief
