If you’re looking for something to cheer you up these are genuinely hilarious (especially if you’ve watched Hannibal – if not then spoilers, I guess?)

It gets real about 3 minutes in. Whatever you do, watch till the very end.

Jason Bourne
**resists temptation to use Bourne Again post title again **
It’s hard to believe it’s been nine years since Ultimatum. And in those nine year Matt Damon appears to have got buffer and hotter.
Edit: Also…
Last night I asked my wife to describe me in 3 words.
She said 'Identity,Supremacy,Ultimatum'.
She must have thought I was Bourne yesterday.— Paul Eggleston (@pauleggleston) March 24, 2015

Death Note, Outlander
These two have made up the majority of my recent viewing (on Netflix and Amazon Prime respectively).
Death Note started off as something I was watching attentively that drifted into background watching. When I saw there were almost 40 episodes I began to wonder how it was going to drag itself out though some of the twists around the halfway pint have got me interested again.
(For reference, a Death Note is a book belonging to a Shinigami, a god of death, when a human’s name is written in the book they die. Light Yagami, a human, gets his hands on a Death Note and starts to kill all criminals with the aim of creating a utopian world in which he is god. Trying to track him down is L the greatest detective the world has ever seen.)
Outlander started off as something I was watching in the background that I am now utterly gripped by. I just watched episodes seven and eight and my heart has been in my mouth more than it’s been in my chest.
Holy shit.
While he may have been a bit wet as Edmure Tully, Tobias Menzies is terrifying as Black Jack Randall.

…they fought like seven hundred!
Oh, I am the last of the giants,
My people are gone from the earth,
The last of the great mountain giants,
Who ruled all the world at my birth,
Oh, the small folk have stolen my forests,
They’ve stolen my rivers and hills,
And they’ve built a great wall through my valleys,
And fished all the fish from my rills
In stone halls they burn their great fires,
In stone halls they forge their sharp spears,
While I walk alone in the mountains,
With no true companion but tears
They hunt me with dogs in the daylight,
They hunt me with torches by night
Oh, I am the last of the giants,
So learn well the words of my song
For when I am gone all the singing will fade,
And the silence will last long and long
From A Storm of Swords.
