I was reading a book on the battle of Blenheim I picked up on a whim when I was surprised to discover that the author was the brother of Princess Di. He's quite good at writing readable popular history books!

I read that a few years ago. It was surprisingly good.

Hungarian Star Wars poster.

I like using R2's dome as Vader's pauldron. I'm confused about the green lizard with the sword, though.

Star Wars was always more about fantasy than SF anyways. Even Lucas said so once. Granted, the backtracked more than once, namely about artworks preservation for instance.

The Crown is probably my favorite thing on Netflix but every time I watch an episode I think to myself "Why haven't the Brits rid themselves of this ghastly family yet?"

Episode 2 of this current season gave me 100% that feeling.
