Tonight I learned that in the real world, coyotes can run twice as fast as roadrunners (64km/h vs 32km/h at a sprint), and who can you even trust anymore?
If you’re unfamiliar with Citadel, imagine Mission Impossible as a daytime soap opera about spies with amnesia, in which sometimes the camera goes upside down because metaphors. Final episode is basically Thunderbirds. Two stars. [2/2]
Stayed up late to watch the final episode of #Citadel (Amazon Prime) in the hope that some revelation or twist would somehow justify the time I’d wasted on it. Given that it’s only 6 eps long and I’d already given up twice, chances were slim. [1/2]
If you haven’t watched episode 5 of Secret Invasion yet and, like me, you’ve been struggling with how dreary the whole thing is, I’m happy to say that with just three words, Olivia Colman makes the whole endeavour worthwhile.
Tonight there are #kakapo in the forest of the North Island of Aotearoa for the first time in over a century. We released four into Maungatautari Sanctuary Mountain today. #conservation#returnofthekakapo
@hotelfred @AoDespair The less they try to be superhero movies, the better the superhero movies are. Cap2: Winter Soldier is the best of them precisely because it’s a 1970s psychological spy thriller starring Robert Redford & very little to do with Marvel… yet it moves the canon along like no other.
@IrvineWelsh No. This is also how things work in the real world. I recently played cards with a man I killed in a duel in the 19th century, and had a clandestine romantic affair with a woman I’ve been married to for years. Put it down to “life is complicated like that”.
@realjahwobble The one that stayed home was working on an Arc de Triomphe jigsaw puzzle and had recently overspent on 70s crockery and exotic percussion instruments, so was laying off markets this week.
@realjahwobble It did. The pig went shopping. It bought organic produce, vintage t-shirts and second hand vinyl. Pig was heavily into Sun Ra and risotto. There is nothing in the text that contradicts this.
