I'd be kinda surprised if you hadn't tbh. Dog Day Afternoon is brilliant. And rarely mentioned as |SPOILER|, though it very much is.

Oh, well, based on this (and assuming you're not watching remakes)... The French Connection Dog Day Afternoon Serpico Bullit ...and lots more. Also please watch The Long Goodbye with Elliott Gould

How did you like Morvern Callar? I loved the movie and have always wanted to read the book.

This looks amazing. If you are looking for one of her novels, read Howl's Moving Castle. That is my favorite Miyazaki, but the book is so much better, and too little known.

I mean, it isn't, really, it's just a lovely novel by Bruce Chatwin is all.

Mark Wallace, so-called @markwallace.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
This all sounds fascinating! Great topic for a game. And/or a book of narrative history, if there isn't one already. (Highly recommend the Chatwin regardless.)

How ever did you get on that topic? And have you read Chatwin's On the Black Hill? It's set in Wales, not Scotland, and it's not specifically droving — I mean, okay, I guess it's not really related at all, fine — but it's a beautiful novel of British pastoralism and the invasion of the 20th century.

Sorry, I spelled "metric shit-tonne" wrong. I mean, if it's metric, it's gotta be a tonne, right?

So I don't know what the fuck anyone is talking about about immigrants or whatever. Pull your fucking pants up and get to work helping someone out.

Every day, I sit in work meetings involving native speakers of 2, 3, or even (like today) 4 different languages. Today it was English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish. Every day, we get an absolute metric shit-ton of work done, helping farmworkers, the elderly, young children, and college students.

🫂 My father passed away recently from mesothelioma he contracted there. No diagnosis til a couple of years ago, despite years of respiratory problems. 9/11 Victim's Compensation Fund at least helped him out.

My wife thinks I cleaned the garage today because I was being responsible, but it's really just so I can run more TTRPGs out there.
