Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 24th August 2025

24th August, 2025.

Yay!!

It’s Sunday … !

And … ?

The last bank holiday weekend before Christmas.

You can tell two things, right now.

One?

I’m excited!

Two?

My weight management meeting is off, tomorrow.

Which means I get an hour, extra, in bed.

Three?

I can’t afford to go to the Notting Hill Carnival.

Which is good: I don’t have the hips for the costumes …

Ender’s Game — Mark Kermode Was Right …

*Spoilers*

26th April, 2014.

Yeah … 

OK … 

That’s possibly one way to open a post about a film: with that sort of title.

Mentioning a film: and a film critic in the title of a post about a film.

But … ?

Well, I’ve just seen the rented the recent DVD release, the Gavin Hood film, Ender’s Game, which starred Asa Butterfield and Harrison Ford.

And think that critic, Mark Kermode has a good point to make, in the various reviews he’s done of it.

Somewhere in the competently done Ender’s Game, are some interesting ideas.

Hmmm … I think I’ll sleep on that.   I can maybe tell you why I agree, when my eyeballs have stopped aching … !
