9.1.2025 03:12Comment on My 2025 Goals and Hopes by Lord Matt ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️OpenMentions asked about New Year’s Resolutions. These are mine:
9.1.2025 03:07My 2025 Goals and HopesJames asked for top picks for the next Doctor. I replied, me. Assuming not me, here are some others who’d be great in the role. Patrick Stewart Patrick Stewart is a national flippin’ treasure. Plus all anecdotal evidence suggests he could play the role a hundred different ways and they’d all be definitive. Not to mention he’d pull the Star Trek fans in as viewers. Patrick Stewart’s god-tier acting chops would be amazing for the show. You know he’d bring us an amazing Doctor. Who wouldn’t want him as the Doctor? Helen McCrory Helen McCrory was Rosanna Calvierri in the Doctor Who episode The Vampires of Venice. Can you imagine the whole “I’ve seen this face before” plot the showrunners could do with that? Plus she’d make an interesting Doctor. Orlando Bloom While Orlando Bloom might be outside of the BBC budget, he’d be an interesting Doctor with some serious star power to draw in new viewers. Plus, the man’s got range – he’s not new to Sci-Fi or TV. He’s good-looking and a “serious actor”. Orlando Bloom would be a great Doctor. Tom Hiddleston With the BBC’s connection to Disney at the moment, I’m sure they’d lend them Tom Hiddleston. He’s sexy, funny, and would look great in the role. Also, can you imagine the Loki/Doctor fan-fiction that would create? Bill Nighy Tell me that Bill Nighy would not be a great Doctor. He’s been in the show before (Vincent and the Doctor) and, I mean, come on – he’d hardly have to act at all. He already radiates Doctor-knows-more-than-he-is-saying energy. Who would you pick? Who would you pick to play the lead role in Doctor Who?
11.12.2024 20:03Comment on Who are your top picks to play the Doctor in the future? by lordmatt<a href="https://replying.isbrill.com/author/james/" rel="ugc">@james</a> Not gonna lie, I would LOVE to play The Doctor. I probably will never get the chance but a boy can dream, right?<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DoctorWho" rel="nofollow ugc">#DoctorWho</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DoctorWhoPicks" rel="nofollow ugc">#DoctorWhoPicks</a>
11.12.2024 18:53Comment on Who are your top picks to play the Doctor in the future? by Lord Matt ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️Doctor Who is a BBC show that has lasted over 60 years. It can do this because The Doctor can regenerate into a new body. Thus a whole bunch of people have been the titular Doctor. Who would you like to pick to play The Doctor when Ncuti Gatwa is ready to move on?
11.12.2024 18:50Who are your top picks to play the Doctor in the future?What I want from life is more time – more years to live it. In answer to this post
10.12.2024 13:00What I want from life…In reply to: What’s the smallest lie you told with the biggest consequences? I once told my baby cousin that the reason I don’t couldn’t come to see her was that I worked for the Queen of the Fairies. To answer her questions, I fabricated an entire detailed account of fairy politics. The United Council […]
10.12.2024 12:54I work for the fay nowI would leave on Mars something that looks like part of a burned book titled “To Hunt Man” along with traces of gunpowder in the hopes the press dubs the find “the Martian man hunter”. In reply to If you could leave something on the surface of Mars just to confuse scientists…
10.12.2024 12:08To confuse the scientists,The people of each district in the country should be penalised with an additional tax of £1 per homeless person who became homeless in that district. Just watch how fast politicians would prioritise providing homes for people. This was in reply to What are your ideas to change the world?
10.12.2024 11:55Today’s hot take:<a href="https://replying.isbrill.com/author/james/" rel="ugc">@james</a>I agree that mental health has impacts on ability to function, but I would like to add that society shouldn't value us solely for our levels of productivity. A lot of un/non-economic activity is also valuable (consider maintaining connections, supporting community, etc), as is simply resting. And people have value regardless of our capacity to work.
6.12.2024 11:32Comment on If Labour want to reduce economic inactivty they need to fund mental health by Kavana RamaswamyMy hot take is that if Labour were to find a shedload of cash for NHS mental health services, they would create jobs and chip away at one of the underlying causes of economic activity. The Tories f*cked us up mentally. Labour needs to unf*ck the population’s mental health. Convince me otherwise (if you can).
6.12.2024 11:20If Labour want to reduce economic inactivty they need to fund mental healthI struggle with staying motivated. I put treat breaks in my to-do list for hitting milestones. It helps but I have cats who need cuddles. In reply to: How do you get motivated for difficult tasks?
