You missed my favorite Mad Jack story during his time in Italy he lost his sword and had to go back into the city to find it while doing so he came across an US patrol that had become lost and were heading towards enemy lines. When Jack pointed this out to the man in charge of the patrol he did not believe him and was going to keep heading the same way so Jack told them he was going his own way and that "I'm not coming back a bloody third time!" That has to be the most British response ever.

We don't need movies about real events, we need to keep the Transformers machine well oiled so it can earn mediocre revenue in North America but will earn so much money in Asia that we won't care how shitty domestic audiences think the franchise is. This Churchill guy can't even transform ! How are we going to merchandise him ? How will we build a mobile game that sucks money up in return for obnoxious costumes or childish weapon skins, when he's the only character - only one grubby camo costume ? And how in christ do we crank out an obligatory origin story that we can lazily backfill the same old plot points into and link it to a cinematic universe with 26 sequels and spinoffs ??!? I bet this dude couldn't even perform an active reload ! Pass !
