Still, I enjoy all the reboots so I have to fall back on suspending my disbelief.

That's a very long fall for those films.

My girlfriend just admitted she used to be a Christian, so I broke up with her.

It might seem judgemental, but I have only known her since she was Christine.

If ST:V had been the last film of the original crew it would have made a nice bookend to the films. From the overly cerebral TMP to the plain silly FF, but no, they had to go and spoil it by giving us Undiscovered Country. A quality Star Trek film and my favourite ST film after WoK.

Anyone else afflicted by this seemingly intermittent bout of pure madness?

Ab-so-bloody-lutely.

I recently spent over £100 on a board game I really can't get enough people to play.

I can't walk into a bookshop without coming out with something. I have too many books as is.

I have a horrible affliction of buying minis I don't even have games for. 

Which game?

Kin I play pa?

Soon as I get the wheel on my bike fixed, I'll be round.

[Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.]

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. I've probably only watched this film about three or four times, and certainly not in at least ten years, because I hated the whole Genesis-Spock-rejuvenation angle.

But.

You know, it's not so bad as I remember. It's not the best in the series by a long chalk but holds some classic moments - from the destruction of the Enterprise to Christoper Lloyd's joyous hamming as Commander Kruge to, "Jim. Your name... is Jim." For the first time ever, I actually enjoyed watching this one - and I'm not even stoned!

Now onto the enjoyable romp of Film IV.

...And the adventure continues...

Not to mention the destruction of the Enterprise. Not as heartwrenching as the death of Spock, but a wrench nonetheless. The Klingons really came into their own in this film as well. Well, they did until Discovery.

I may fund it, but I'm waiting until they confirm the Naughty Photos of TordelBack stretch goal.

You have only to ask.

Well,  all doubts out the window - that is one highly polished campaign, and aside from a judge who collects antiques (How?  Where?) everything presented seems spot-on so far. I still have to find the creds somehow (about those photos,  von Boom...), but the chance to use my old GW adventures and floor plans with my Mongoose minis and a solid modern d6 ruleset under a stylish black Carlos hardcover... WAY too much to pass up.

Don't worry about the photos. Sharky hooked me up.

I'm going to go for the Chief Judge level if I can. I'm a sucker for a nice GM screen.

Artemis by Andy Weir

It's dreadful, but it makes up for it by being quite short.

[Predator]

Predator. The original. Simply fantastic 80s sci-fi action. I probably won't bother with the new comedy version.

[Red Sparrow]

Red Sparrow. Not what I was expecting, but rather a good film in the end. I'm not a fan of Jennifer Lawrence, and she was flat yet again, but for this role it works. The most unbelievable part is her as a prima ballerina. It was like watching a seal in a tutu dance.

Hamburg's football manager is called Christian Titz.

That's a funny name... Christian.
