I have done my part for Kate McKinnon's continuing film career.
...by which I mean that Wife and I went to see THE SPY WHO DUMPED ME.
It was fun! I would be totally down for a TV series involving the three main characters, as set up by the last five minutes. (In case anyone else has seen the movie: Wife wants fic involving Kate McKinnon's character and Gillian Anderson's character. I could possibly see it but it would involve a fuckton of relationship development and also action scenes, so I ain't writing it.) On the other hand, the part where the only two characters of color were (a) the super-bitchy friend, and (b) a traitorous spy? Less fun. Also, in this theoretical TV series, maybe less no-homo with Kate McKinnon's character - they couldn't manage it totally, because it's Kate McKinnon, but they really did try.
In other news, Wife and I are playing Lego Harry Potter, and have finished Half-Blood Prince. We're going through and playing the whole series as Story, and then doubling back to play it all again as Free-Play, to Find All The Things. (Also we find it cathartic to be able to run around and Smash All The Things.) However, Lego Harry Potter dates before the period when Lego had the rights to use the voices as well as the soundtrack, so cut-scenes are done entirely in mime. I'm a little sad - Harry Potter has some really epic lines! - but on the other hand, this means we get to see Dumbledore's ongoing wrestling match with his cursed hand, so. Also Snape is the sole teacher not to do the cheerful non-verbal noise that Lego characters use for 'hi there,' which seems legit.
