Domestic neo-nazi terrorists getting deplatformed, accidently doxxed and slapped on a no-flight restriction is 'chefs kiss' so good.

It is bloody brilliant.

Those who lob about snowflake as an insult are turning out to be the biggest snowflakes of all, especailly with calls for unity. Seriously? After the last four years of this horrible Presidency. The Democrats need to push for punishment of all those involved, including any member of the Republican party who questioned Bidens win.

Actions have consequences as a lot of them are about to find out, and that applies to the Politicians as well as the MAGA mob. The party of personal responsibility might be about to be put under serious criminal investigation for the actions of some of their most senior members, and with the FBI now tracking down people, phones, computers we are most likely going to be even more shocked when the whole truth of this awful affair comes out.

Wasn't the ignorance that the script is done, but that Bisley only did a bit of it (which then dovetailed into Mills complaining about how Rebellion pay everyone really badly)?

I think I read that Simon had finished 1 or 2 episodes, but that he hadn't worked on it in some time and they got tired of waiting.

Christ. It would have been lovely to see a full series by Simon.

I think Pat is working on a Joe Pineapples series. Simon Bisley was taking huis time and I think Clint Langley is taking over art duties.

I thought Pat was finished writing the story, from snippets I've seen out and abut, I think the story has been ready for about six years, just waiting for Simon Bisley to get it done.

Excuse my ignorance, but if Pat wasn't finished, and has now ceased working for 2000AD, i assume that Rebellion would just get someone else to finish the story? ( Inevitable leading to more squabbles between Pat, Fans etc. online )

The guy, face down on an airport floor, screaming that the cops were treating him "like a black man" sums his ilk up.

Disgusting people.

Seeing them being rounded up at Airports, and taking it very badly that they are seen as Domestic Terrorists, is really something beautiful. The video of a man proclaiming "they are going to ruin my life" sums up these arseholes perfectly. No personal responsibility, always somebody else's fault and all the better for them if that person is a different colour.

The Right-Wing media response has been a thing of grotesque Fukery. Again, everybody else to blame, not Trump or his inciting, not those "Patriots" who desecrated their own Democracy and actually murdered a Police Officer. No Sir. Antifa, BLM, Soros, False Flags...

I remember when they were casting about, eventually picking Matt Smith, and there was talk of the brilliant Paterson Joseph having been in the running.

Don't know if he would be interested, but he is pretty brilliant in everything he does, especially Peep Show, and he can do just about anything that could be asked of him dramatically, comically.

Yeah I'd have loved Paterson Joseph to have got it. Don't get me wrong I was happy with Matt Smith but at the time was disappointed he didn't get it after being hotly tipped. He has a brilliant otherworldly quality mixed with a healthy dose of utterly menacing when he needs to and a light cheeky charm when that's required. If we've going to have to go back to a man - I for on would like another woman to drive the point home that we really need to move past the whining - then he'd be my choice.

Be a quality Doctor, but I'm equally open to another woman Doctor.

With the right showrunner, and Whittaker or another brilliant woman they could blow the show open, and deliver something special.

I would take Anne-Marie Duff if Jodie Whittaker wasn't sticking around. Love her in everything she does, and those eyes convey and say so much.

Will continue the Predator 2 love.

Was this one of the first movies to hint at a franchise crossover?


I think it was. Or was the alien skull just an in-joke?

Such a great moment.

Will continue the Predator 2 love. Just a great movie, with so many great character actors, and some lovely, shlocky Horror / action moments.

That shoot-out at the start puts a lot of modern movies to shame.

Was this one of the first movies to hint at a franchise crossover?

Coincidentally, I watched Aliens the other evening, and it is still as fantastic as the first time I watched. Lovely ratcheting tension, the design of the Alien Queen, Lance Henriksen with one of the greatest moments of synthetic body horror in a movie when he "meets" the Alien Queen!

Sad if the rumours are true, but I can understand why. Jodie is throwing her everything into role, and it all just seems a confusing mess across all hear seasons so far.

Hopefully, the scripts improve if this next mini-series is to be Jodie's last, and I'd hope that a new Doctor will lead to a change of showrunner.

Got a Beer Sub, which is lovely, and will be used excessively from 3.30PM today.

Good Lady also bought me a Nintendo Switch, just a shame I haven't seen it since she started playing Zelda : breath Of The Wild.

Hopefully Unionists and Loyalists are finally able to form or reform one of the Unionist parties to better serve them, and actually help their community. Perhaps to deliver a better message.

Time they realised you can' eat a flag, and that the bigger issue than preserving the "precious Union" is actually improving their voters lives, and perhaps actually being honest with them rather than selling them fantasies and the same old bollix.

The DUP have made a United Ireland almost inevitable, I just hope that if it comes about, that we actually change NI society from top to bottom. Education, integration. I'm fed up of living in a zombie state, that is served by crony Politicians maintaining the Status Quo as our Economy turns to shit and our young people leave for better opportunities and to escape the sectarian shite. Throw all the flags in the sea. If I was never to see a Union Flag, Irish flag, Paramilitary flag ever again, I'd feel blessed.

DUP now blaming everyone for a deal they brought about.

Hilarious, tragic. Predicted years ago.

I'm fairly sure this blog is a plea for help.

It's like that old Megazine Dredd Texas sting story. Anybody replying or commenting has had their details taken, and the men in white coats will be along shortly.

If it is half as good as Fargo has been, I'm in. And seeing as the Fargo TV show has been littered with UFOs, I'm looking forward to seeing a Pregnant Minnesotan Police Chief fight off the Xenomorphs, culminating in an Alien Queen being fed through a woodchipper. If the Alien Queen has Peter Stormares face, so much the better.

A very interesting, and promising, choice of showrunner. Mind you, there is still time for it to fall apart, Hawley leaving the project and it then being handed off to a Walking Dead showrunner. Ugh.
