It was definitely broad-brush, but as I knew none of the Free French or his personal history I really enjoyed both parts.

The speed with which these parachutes open up after the craft looks like it is still above the atmosphere is mad. I was waiting for some blinding transitional phase, but no.

This movie absolutely fucking slaps hard, if you have a chance to see it do so. Especially if you like any form of Warhammer 40K. And even if like me you knew nothing about the comics. It’s just terrific animation, action, very British humor, and has heart

You could say the American revolution was started to avoid paying taxes, so turning a smuggler into a hero isn't such a leap?

Judge Dredd vs Rogue Trooper? Almost. Rogue's fearsome enemies are invading the 2000 AD multiverse, one world at a time!

Unoriginal I'm afraid. Secret Agent, Heart of Darkness, but I have a weird fondness for Romance as I find the collaboration between Conrad and Ford Maddox Ford pretty fascinating. Esp as they were each a vastly better writer after the collaboration ended.

These screenings sold out super quick, but it is so exciting to finally get to show the film in the UK, and it's just the start people.

I haven't read this yet, but my one-line comment on the win win of free movement is: 'young people come to the UK, pay tax on earnings, then go home and talk positively about the UK' and we're quids in.

This does indeed smell desperate, but that's not why I'm sharing it. No, the bit that leapt out to me was the @financialtimes.com use of the phrase "Seattle-based cloud giant" to describe Amazon, which sounds beautifully fairytale and captures the nature of this whole industry: magic beans.
