Season 3 of Amazon Primes Jack Ryan was a major disappointment to me. I was unable to even finish watching it. Mostly because it was a rather poor depiction of how Tom Clancy wrote stories and had no understanding of any of the characters from the books. Along with not writing a story in the vain or a Jack Ryan story.

Yet I found another show that does a really good job at depicting the type of plots that would fit Tom Clancy. It is Andor. How the story progress and grows as the character touches others was great. It was a great spy thriller. No character felt overly important.

But it is important to say that Jack Ryan is not Cassian Andor, Cassian would fill the role of the bad guys. But Jack is more similar to the character Dedra Meero. A bureaucrat who has a high rank, and is generally an up and comer who chafes the people around them, but is liked by the bosses. But you know, Jack is a good guy who is working towards positive goals.

Any writer who wants to create their own Jack Ryan story for TV should pay attention to Andor more than the Amazon Prime series. Andor is a master class of how to write a spy thriller that feels real, even if it’s in a fantasy setting. All Amazon prime has to show is how to write an American rip off James Bond, it’s not even good to learn who the characters.

#Andor #Jack Ryan #jack ryan is not a secret agent!#he is a bureaucrat #Andor is great at writing a spy thriller #much better than Amazon Jack Ryan #that’s American James Bond #Jack Ryan should be more like Andor #just change which side is good and bad #and change the setting to our world

This 70s pulp fiction book I picked up off the street awhile ago that had cigarette ads in the middle printed on higher quality paper than the actual book lol

#I read like 3/4s of it then put it in a little free library. it was really funny #hannah is talking #wiki describes this series/character as ‘one of many American James Bond clones’ but he was surprisingly way less racist and misogynistic #than Bond lol. way more miserable though. all this guy does is shoot people and cuss and smoke and then ideate suicide. and then decide he #actually wants to continue living for the thrill of shooting people and cussing and smoking

A Falco Feathursday

This Feathursday we showcase three of the smallest falcons in Europe and America: the Eurasian Hobby (Falco subbuteo), Common Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus), and American Kestrel (Falco sparverius). All are in the genus Falco, and all occupy a similar niche within the falcon genus, although the Hobby is more falconesque in its hunting behavior. The American Kestrel, however, may not be a true kestrel, but seems more closely related to other North American falcons.

These paintings are by the British bird artist Terance James Bond and are reproduced in our folio volume Birds, The Paintings of Terance James Bond, published in Cambridge, England, by the Lutterworth Press in 1988. Of his painting of the American Kestrel, Bond writes:

The species . . . can be found in parkland, farmland, and the margins of towns and villages [and cities!]. To hint at this association with modern man I have chosen to illustrate my male bird against a setting of sawn logs. This I feel works very well, the firewood is a perfectly natural element but the presence of civilised man is suggested through the obviously unnatural arrangement of the timber. The bird could be sunning itself in somebody's farmyard or rural garden and has taken advantage of the perching point whilst it sits and waits for the arrival of a potential snack.

I've been stalking Javier Bardem's filmography, and I'm just dying at the fact that his typecast in the 90s seemed to be hunky male whore, I mean, well deserved but 😭

#i love two things:#a lot of european actors always seem to have some gay movie they starred in before they got big #<- i.e ewan mcgregor in velvet goldmine. daniel brühl in love in thoughts etc etc #2. so many european actors go from being typecast as sexy romantic leads to being cast as villains in English/American films #i mean think abt Mads Mikkelsen. iconic ass villain in american/british stuff like james bond and hannibal and harry p*tter #but in danish films i feel like hes often a quite sympathetic character?????#and then javier bardem. literally the same case #silva in Skyfall and I literally just watched him in his renowned villain rule in no country for old men last night #but then in these films i found 😭😭 sexy seducer!!!!!!!#this post is sponsored by the fact that i was trying to find gifs of him as stilgar in dune #and came across gifsets of: 1. just his crotch in tight underwear(😭) 2. very passionate kissing scene w another man #....my interest is peaked 👀#catie.rambling.txt

Pulls out a notebook, a pencil/pen, an envelope, and laptop.

Alright, enough putting this off. Starting tomorrow, I am going to start writing my letter to The Supreme Court. It's gonna be a gods damn essay hopefully.

I swear if they pass this bullshit, I am starting a revolution officially. And then I am most likely going to run away to like- the UK or something if Trump gets reelected.

I am done with this bullshit. Please join me in writing letter to the Supreme Court. The more voices, the better
