“I remember as we were walking out General Gerasimov said, ‘Never again will we be humiliated. We used to be the fourth army in the world, we’re now number two.”

I think he was right, they have shown themselves to be number 2 💩

You now need photo ID to vote in the UK. Even if you don’t need one because you have valid ID, I strongly recommend you apply for a Voter Authority Certificate here https://www.gov.uk/apply-for-photo-id-voter-authority-certificate

Read Phillips apologises but wants to stay WRU boss
Chief executive Steve Phillips says he believes he is the man to lead the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) after apologising following accusations of sexism, racism and misogyny.

Meh. Good luck to him. He’s hardly the first person to fail to resign from a job he is clearly unfit for.

Loving Brian Tyree Henry’s Oscar nomination. He was excellent in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse too.

Watched Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) by an author from letterboxd.com
Returning for his fifth year of study at Hogwarts, Harry is stunned to find that his warnings about the return of Lord Voldemort have been ignored. Left with no choice, Harry takes matters into his own hands, training a small group of students – dubbed 'Dumbledore's Army' – to defend themselves against the dark arts.

It’s hard to fault this film for the turgid story upon which it is based. In fact, the film actually excises a lot of the cruft. But even stripped to the bones very little actually happens to further the story.

★★★

My review

I could listen to @KyleBrandt talking about how the Bengals beat the Bills all day. The Bengals may not beat the Chiefs but this was still a great win.

Watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) by an author from letterboxd.com
'Toon star Roger is worried that his wife Jessica is playing pattycake with someone else, so the studio hires detective Eddie Valiant to snoop on her. But the stakes are quickly raised when Marvin Acme is found dead and Roger is the prime suspect.

It surprises me to say that this looks as good as it ever did! Probably the main thing that dates this is the boob gags. In a kid’s film?

Possibly my favourite film noir.

★★★★
