I'm a bit jaded based on the fact that any TV show that runs long enough and has a sci-fi or fantasy element will almost always hit these tropes:
- time travel
- time loop
- body swap
- alt dimension
- enemy mine
- minor character chosen one

DUNE is the example I use here. Why did it do so well, despite being a 60 year old franchise? That sizzling fucking young cast. Even the older actors were favorites. A Zendaya fronted Tron movie could have had the chance to rip.

I know it's a daft thing to say as a resident of the Wellington region, but I am particularly over this relentless strong wing. My uninformed reckon is that this is a less discussed aspect of the changing climate.

Aw, man. Keaton was legit one of the greats. The people I know who worked with her all have nothing but incredibly glowing things to say about her. Worked right up to the end. A real loss.

"The All Blacks could maintain their mana and independence by ignoring their coach, and walk off the field after the haka to de-fang their opponents' potential attacks and bring the focus of the match back to the Springboks' performance".

Absolute fucking clown shit.

Comment: Ruling itself out of any government would leave the party free to maintain its mana and independence, de-fang the centre-right’s potential attack lines and bring the focus of the election campaign back to the Government’s performance, writes Peter Dunne.
