RIP C.S. Lewis you would have loved traumagenic therianthropy
Wikipedia snippet:

When his dog Jacksie was fatally struck by a horse-drawn carriage,[7] the four-year-old Lewis adopted the name Jacksie. At first, he would answer to no other name, but later accepted Jack, the name by which he was known to friends and family for the rest of his life. When he was seven, his family moved into "Little Lea", the family home of his childhood, in the Strandtown area of East Belfast.

As a boy, Lewis was fascinated with anthropomorphic animals; he fell in love with Beatrix Potter's stories and often wrote and illustrated his own animal tales.

Holy shit the Wikipedia page is just BRUUUUUTAL
Three massive paragraphs slagging off the Fierce Bad Rabbit book as harshly as possible.

"Potter's three panorama books of 1906 – The Story of A Fierce Bad Rabbit, The Story of Miss Moppet, and The Sly Old Cat – are vignettes rather than the typical tales she produced of causality, extended plot, and variety of character. Each story has a very limited cast of characters with one dominant character (the title character), and each is dependent upon an archetypal animosity: rabbit versus hunter and cat versus rodent. In their simplicity and unusual format, these stories were intended for babies and very young children, but Potter was never at her best when writing for a clearly defined audience. A Fierce Bad Rabbit fails for this reason, and for its overt moralizing and stiff illustrations. Most damaging to the book's success are the two rabbits. Both lack the adorable cuteness of Peter Rabbit and his kin.

A Fierce Bad Rabbit focuses on a traditional rather than a creative approach to storytelling and reflects Potter's inexperience with babies and very young children. She appears to be more interested in naming and designating this or that rather than developing plot and exploring character. She names and directs the child's attention to the rabbit's tail, whiskers, and claws, for example, rather than to the animal's facial expression. When the hunter appears, he is blandly introduced with "This is a man with a gun." The gun goes off as expected with the stereotypical "BANG!" instead of a more creative onomatopoeia term Potter would have surely devised had she been writing this book for older children."

This goes for a third paragraph but there's not enough space to paste that in as well sorry.

I seem to recall Joanna Cherry saying something about how the cartoon girl was holding a Real Gun and that accentuated the threat. Much like how the filmmakers in this scene are threatening Bob Hoskins IRL
A cartoon weasel points a REAL GUN at Bob Hoskins in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
Do you agree that that adds to the sinister nature of this?

The bit of his Wikipedia article that goes "he was too much of an open nonce to become a teacher so he went off to work at the BBC instead" might be the most "ok yeah that tracks" sentence ever
Although Liddle considered becoming a secondary school teacher, he decided against it on the grounds that he "could not remotely conceive of not trying to shag the kids", clarifying that he wouldn't have "dabbled much below Year 10". Liddle instead returned to journalism after graduating from the LSE, and was taken on as a trainee producer by the BBC

If I was The Economy, I would simply not make myself completely dependent on The Addiction Plant That Kills You
From an ad page by a tobacco company:

"Honest retailers are being forced to shut down as they can no longer compete with the criminals’ pricing. JTI’s cheapest cigarette brand on the market costs around £13.60, most of which is tax paid to HMRC, whereas a pack of illegal cigarettes costs as little as £5 [5].

Communities are feeling the burden, with money that could be invested into regenerating high streets and local areas diverted to organised crime instead."

I love when blu ray releases of weird obscure films have a whole "this was all we had to work with, sorry" on the main menu
Message that comes up when you hit Play Movie on the Arrow release of Arena: Despite a thorough search, the best quality film material that could be found was a 35mm theatrical print, which is the source element for this remastered version. The opening titles and onscreen text offset was an error in the initial film printing and has been retained for this presentation"
