Mike.Escapee @mikeescapee.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I've worked for him at his house and he was honestly just very Richard E Grant-y. Doubt he'd be putting on a performance just for me. Didn't seem like a dick and was very completely about the work . 000
Mike.Escapee @mikeescapee.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Ah. Thought it was the Green Man. I appreciate your expertise in these matters. 020
Mike.Escapee @mikeescapee.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I'm kinda tired of people always explaining away the crazy shit Trump says. He's let off the hook time and time again. 030
Mike.Escapee @mikeescapee.bsky.social · 06/10/2026They were so in love with their own cleverness that they forgot what people have always liked about Sherlock Holmes.The actual cases. 1231
Mike.Escapee @mikeescapee.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Indeed. That third episode. Hopefully that's one Vampire that's never coming back. 000
Mike.Escapee @mikeescapee.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I present, without comment, an antique door knocker currently at auction... 110
Mike.Escapee @mikeescapee.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Sherlock. Vanished up its own arse. Far too pleased with itself. 070
Mike.Escapee @mikeescapee.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Honestly,why wasn't it adapted? It's a great story and that opening is so cinematic. I shall certainly check out 1000 blows and Richmond Unchained (Apple TV?) Congratulations on finding your niche! 010
Mike.Escapee @mikeescapee.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Ah yes.One of those benevolent dictators history is littered with... 0230
Mike.Escapee @mikeescapee.bsky.social · 05/10/2026In a similar vein, I always wondered why this story hasn't been adapted. The sheer balls on those girls! travel.yahoo.com/news/article...travel.yahoo.comCatfished! Girls Scam ISIS on Social Media for Travel MoneyThree Chechen young women are currently under investigation for fraud after allegedly swindling Islamic recruiters online. 020
Mike.Escapee @mikeescapee.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I remember being drawn in by the opening prologue of George MacDonald Fraser' "Black Ajax" and how brutal (and long!) those bare knuckle bouts in front of The Fancy were. Was surprised it wasn't adapted into a film/TV series. I shall have to check your work out. 110
Mike.Escapee @mikeescapee.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I agree! The leaves on the ground, background bushes etc are all consistent between both shots 010
Mike.Escapee @mikeescapee.bsky.social · 04/10/2026But however will we know where Welles' work ends and AI takes over? 020
Mike.Escapee @mikeescapee.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Yeah, I don't hate this. Sure it's trivial but some of it is kinda fun. Farage and Jenrick in particular are being nicely parodied. 130
Mike.Escapee @mikeescapee.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I thought these were pretty fancy. So fancy, in fact, that these were the only photographs that I took at my sister's wedding. 000
Mike.Escapee @mikeescapee.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I may have been joking... But thanks for the additional information. Appreciate it. 020
Mike.Escapee @mikeescapee.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The message they're trying to put out is a lie, and one which most people can see through when they fill up their tank or go grocery shopping. 000
Mike.Escapee @mikeescapee.bsky.social · 03/10/2026It's brilliant writing. The bathtub is introduced in the first film, and is used to save his life from the toilet bomb in the second film. It's lethal weapons version of Chekhov's Gun. 0171
Mike.Escapee @mikeescapee.bsky.social · 02/10/2026"You’re moving goalposts and/or contradicting yourself" Nope When did I say it had suddenly come from nowhere? Do you genuinely not think that it hasn't accelerated over the last decade? 000
Mike.Escapee @mikeescapee.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I know when WW2 started. I'm talking about the current rise in the Far Right. I am well aware that fascism has been around for a long time but I would argue the Far Right is in a much more prevalent and stronger now than at any time since WW2. 100
Mike.Escapee @mikeescapee.bsky.social · 02/10/2026It started in 1940, before America joined the war and dissolved after Pearl Harbor 100
Mike.Escapee @mikeescapee.bsky.social · 02/10/2026“Hurrah for the Blackshirts!” and “America First” pre-dated WW2 I think. 110
Mike.Escapee @mikeescapee.bsky.social · 02/10/2026It's no coincidence that the rise of the Far Right and Nazism is happening as those who actually fought the Nazis are nearly all gone now. Lest we forget? Well, an awful lot of people forgot. 3354
Mike.Escapee @mikeescapee.bsky.social · 01/10/2026What happened to people like him to lose all their humanity? 010
