Politics is tedious but this photo of #Trump is so annoying. He's got a face you just want to punch until it's a bloody pulp. Don't really know about #Rubio but when you see a photo of him his eyes don't seem to work properly and he always looks like he's puked or he's about to. Wankers all of them.

Maybe tentacle body horror is too much for you. #Urotsukidōji isn't to everyone's tastes certainly. You like your horror slightly more...cerebral. Thoughtful. Unsettling. Try #NeverLetMeGo by #KazuoIshiguro. The reality of what is happening creeps up on you and its grim. #booksky💙📚

#Urotsukidōji: Legend of the Overfiend (1989) They don't make anime like they used to. We watched this in the 80s, too stoned to follow it. Nowadays I watch Studio Ghibli. It's a little more...how can I put it...restrained. #animesky

The United Kingdom has much in common with Canada, for reasons. If you want to get under the skin of a nation, watch #TrailerParkBoys (for Canada) or its UK cousin #PeopleJustDoNothing. A warts 'n' all expose of the lives of working men and women, ordinary folk just trying to get by. Not. #tvsky

Finishing my 30 day #bookchallenge 30/30 A book that's better than the film Moonraker by Ian Fleming I'd like to see the next run of James Bond films redo the films that didn't follow the book plots, like this one. Moonraker is a much better story in the book. #booksky📚💙

Cover of the first edition of Moonraker by Ian Fleming, published by Jonathan Cape in 1955. Features a bold, stylized title in white capital letters against a dark, abstract flame design, evoking a dramatic and suspenseful tone

Vulcan, stardate 8390. Smacks of #Mars but I guess if you look at the Universe from a holistic perspective then its perfectly reasonable to assume that Mars could easily be replicated 1 billion trillion times across the Cosmos. How many star systems could be supporting life like ours. Who knows.

Famous Film Quotes #3 Pulp Fiction (1994) What a mind-fuck of a movie. The opening set the scene. 'Any of you fucking pricks move and I’ll execute every motherfucking last one of you!' Well we didn't and we were well rewarded. Even 30 years later its like a breath of fresh air. #filmsky💙🎬

Famous Film Quotes #2 'We've gone on holiday by mistake!' In #WithnailandI our heroes end up in a tumbeldown cottage in a very soggy Wales, with no idea what they are doing. They are more like siblings than friends. One of the most memeable scenes of all time. The film is a timeless joy. #filmsky

Famous Film Quotes #1 'I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse'. In the #TheGodfather films this line occurs three times in different guises, spoken by #Pacino, #Brando and #DeNiro. I like De Niro's version best. And in reality the offerees did refuse, and found out. #filmsky💙🎬

Continuing my 30 day #bookchallenge 28/30 A book with a satisfying ending Solar by Ian McEwan Our protagonist (a some-time Nobel winner) lurches from one crisis to another. The fact you're not rooting for him makes the end work better than it otherwise should. #booksky📚💙

Book cover of Solar by Ian McEwan. The top section is a bright orange background with the text "THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER" in small black font, and the title "Solar" in large black font followed by "Ian McEwan" in white. Below, a vivid, abstract illustration shows a stylized sun with concentric circles of yellow, pink, and red radiating outward. Jagged icy landscapes and rock formations in white, blue, and purple fill the lower half, evoking a polar scene. At the bottom left corner, a quote in white reads: "A satirical masterpiece" — Daily Telegraph.

30 Day #Sci-Fi Challenge 9/30 A sci-fi concept you'd like to see happen #Alcubierre drive - a concept that bends space-time, contracting space in front of a spacecraft and expanding it behind, allowing faster-than-light travel without violating physics. But - it requires dark matter.

Futuristic spacecraft concept titled "The Alba Clockwork," featuring a sleek, elongated central hull encased within a large, circular ring structure. The design suggests a warp bubble mechanism, with glowing energy fields around the ring and a dark, space-like backdrop, evoking the idea of faster-than-light travel via an Alcubierre drive

Cover of the book Roderick the Red by S. K. McCullagh, part of the "Griffin Pirate Stories" series. The illustration features a large sailing ship with striking red sails (bleached somewhat by the sun to a pale pink) sailing toward the viewer on calm greenish water.

Cover of the Stephen King novel 'Christine' featuring a frontal view of a 1958 Plymouth Fury convertible in red emerging from a lock up with a light bulb above it. The back ground is red. Next to it is a real photo of a similar car parked in a cul de sac in a classic Californian suburb

Continuing my 30 day #bookchallenge 19/30. A book that plays with history Making History by Stephen Fry I really liked this, though I didn't get to the end. Counter-historical fiction (call it whatever) does appeal. It opens up no end of possibilities. This is a novel take on the Hitler idea.

over of 'Making History' by Stephen Fry. The background is a pale yellow, with the author's name in large, bold, orange-red serif font at the top, and the book title in smaller black serif font below. The main visual element is a fishbowl positioned in the lower half of the cover. Inside the fishbowl, an optical illusion creates the image of a cat's face appearing behind the glass, with a goldfish swimming in front of it. The cat's eyes are wide and green, giving the impression of it watching the fish closely. A quote from the Sunday Times at the bottom reads, 'Stephen Fry at his twinkling best'.

Fourth and final entrant in a series of must-see conspiracy focused films. 4/4. JFK I saw this in 1991 at the cinema and it started a life-long fascination with Kennedy's story. A real conspiracy because Oswald didn't act alone. Who was involved and why is lost to history.

POSTER FOR film JFK. Star sapngled banner creates overspill of several images including Kevin Costner as Jim Garrison.
