Star Wars: An Angry Black Man

"I quit on you when you cleared outta De-troit with Willy the Pimp!"

For some reason this fucking kills me every time.

I saw The Tempest on Friday night. Patrick Stewart excelled as an imperious powerful leader far from home, who had to confront strange and exotic natives. But that's enough about Star Trek : The Next Generation.*

I also watched the original version of Casino Royale at the weekend. It's a pretty trippy film, treading a fine line between surreal, hysterical, and abysmally bad. It features Bond in a car chase with a remote-controlled milk float, Orson Welles' Le Chiffre performing magic tricks at the Casino Royale card table, Bond shooting exploding ducks with M's widow and her 11 daughters, and a UFO landing in Trafalgar Square to kidnap the love child of Bond and Mata Hari. Watching this film on drugs would only improve it.

On the tube this morning a woman sat down next to me and started reading the Multiclass Characters section of a Dungeons and Dragons source book. Two stops later a man rushed onto the train, talking on his phone, and sat down saying "Yeah, bruv, all I know is, I'm gonna plead guilty straight away." I bet everyone around him was wondering what it was he was going to plead guilty to.

* Apologies for the recycled gags, I'm trying to be eco-friendly. ;)
