Fishing, woodland walks, sustainable food and goode times

Jim Murray, The Crown actor, shared some lovely pics (on IG and TW) of Matthew and his friends Burn Gorman and Dominic West fishing in Tayside, Scotland.

Extract from IG post:

"Without a studio funded, highly fastidious, professional production team working 24/7, rounding up actors and creative types to do ANYTHING puts cat herding firmly in the shade.

It was therefore a happy surprise when my guests all arrived pretty much in one piece for a spring salmon session last week.

They were also keen to learn more about the plight of the king of fish and the challenges it faces so expert scientist David Summers of the Tay fisheries board was on hand so that they too become much needed advocates for this fast dwindling, endangered species.

Yes we were lucky enough to connect with a few fish but the real win was spending time in nature with friends, decompressing and turning (for some) new tricks."

Also more about the trip in this local news article ⬇️

Matthew & friends were said to also have gone for woodlands walks & offered to do a group photo supporting the environmental campaign Off The Table. They were very jolly!

I hope Burn and Matthew were plotting their appearance in The Offer 2! My favourite characters, they were on fire.

I totally get that there’s an expectation that Brennan Lee Mulligan DMing for you would include the whole package of everything the production team of D20 has to offer but if I’m being perfectly honest, if that man said “sure! I’ll DM something for you” and rolled up with dry erase map boards and mancala beads, I’m LOCKED IN and asking if he has a preferred almond flavor

Since it's almost Easter, I want to tell everyone the story of the cafeteria lunch lady at my school who I sort of on purpose, sort of accidentally convinced I was possessed.

So once upon a time, before J. K. Rowling was radicalized, back when the books were first becoming popular, a bunch of Christians got it into their heads that J.K. Rowling was in league with Satan and the books had real spells, and the books would trick the children who had read them into becoming satanists and witches, and selling their souls to the devil to work magic, and they would all become possessed by demons, and die and go to hell. It was all very much the same thing they were saying about Dungeons and Dragons in the eighties. For the most part, this was a Protestant Evangelical phenomenon, but the occasional Catholic bought into it too, and one of those Catholics who bought into this was my school's lunch lady.

She saw me one day at lunch reading a book from the incredibly popular Harry Potter series, and told me in that solemn way that adults sometimes do when talking to a young person they think is going wrong, that I needed to stop reading that book, because otherwise I would open myself up to demons and wind up possessed.

Now I have severe ADHD, and one of the ways this manifests is that I get songs stuck in my head at the drop of a hat, and they stay there for weeks on end and are very, very annoying and distracting. And my mother loves musicals, so we listened to them around the house all the time. And at the time the musical we were listening to was a not-at-all controversial little number by the name of Jesus Christ Superstar. This musical is a pretty standard retelling of the passion, which is to say the last days of Jesus's life from just before his entrance into Jerusalem until his crucifixion, and it was also written by two Christians, but in spite of this, the same kinds of groups who decided Harry Potter was a tool to get children to sell their souls to the devil, decided Jesus Christ Superstar was blasphemous.

But anyway because this is a passion story, Caiaphus, the high priest, is one of the main villains, and he gets an absolute banger of a song, which at that very moment I had stuck in my head, and I had been doing my very best not to sing all day, because it is not appropriate for school. This song is called "Jesus Must Die".

So here we are, and the lunch lady has just told me that I needed to stop reading a book or I would be possessed. So I turned to her and looked her straight in the eye and started singing at the top of my lungs: "FOOLS, YOU HAVE NO PERCEPTION, THE STAKES WE ARE GAMBLING ARE FIGHTENINGLY HIGH! WE MUST CRUSH HIM COMPLETELY, SO LIKE JOHN BEFORE HIM, THIS JESUS MUST DIE!"

She screamed, crossed herself, and never spoke to me again.

I've seen people talk about how the bunker only has one bed but I haven't seen anyone mention how FIDDLEFORD was the one that designed it like that. like ford put him in charge of that. I bet ford didn't even think twice about it too he was just like "this arrangement was a great idea! imagine how much less space we'd have with two beds!" and fidds just had to deal with the fact that he's in love with a fucking moron

In 2006, the Tamil-language film Paramasivan was released, about a criminal sentenced to death but employed as an assassin instead.

It is, of course, a localized remake of Kartoos, the 1999 Hindi-language film, in which a criminal is trained to assassinate by government agents who have him on tight leash, having already sentenced him to death.

Kartoos (meaning "cartridge", as in firearms) is directly based on Point of No Return, a 1993 American film about an assassin who is trained instead of having her death sentence carried out.

This film was released internationally as Assassin, or (in France), as Nom de Code: Nina (Codename: Nina). Anyway this film is a remake of Nikita.

Nikita is the 1990 French film by Luc Besson, about a criminal, sentenced to death, works as an assasin, yeah. That story. It was released outside of France as La Femme Nikita. This is the original, Nikita.

Which of course should not be confused with the 1997 Canadian TV adaptation: Nikita!

Nikita (also known as La Femme Nikita outside of Canada) is (well, this one is) about a innocent woman sentenced to the death penalty, but forced to become an assassin instead.

The same name, identically, was used for the 2010 American TV Adaptation Nikita.

In this one, it's about a woman who has already been through a whole-ass Nikita situation (which I trust you should understand by now what one of those is) and is now trying to get revenge on the secret organization that put her through a Nikita-Situation.

But the first remake was the 1991 Hong Kong action film 黑猫, or Black Cat.

黑猫 (Black Cat) is about a woman who is sentenced to a Nikita-ass situation. This time she's on the leash of the CIA. And then there's a sequel, 1992's 黑貓II：刺殺葉利欽, or Black Cat 2: The Assassination of President Yeltsin! *

黑貓II：刺殺葉利欽, or Black Cat 2: The Assassination of President Yeltsin is about ... exactly what you'd expect, really. She's still in a Nikita-ass situation and now they want her to kill the then-president of Russia, Boris Yeltsin.

Is that enough? No! No of course not. Because there's also 2017's Korean adaptation, 악녀 (The Villainess)!

악녀 (The Villainess) is a loose adaptation where she's already an assassin before she gets her death faked.

I'm not even going to go into the canceled PS2 game.

But yeah. There's a surprising number of these Nikitas.

* BTW if this was the point where you went "wait is foone just making up movies?", I'd like to say: thank you. Thank you for thinking I'm creative enough to make up BLACK CAT 2: ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT YELTSIN.
