On the basis that the surrealism (if that's the right term) of 'La Bergère et le Ramoneur' influenced both the roots of animé and French cinema, I'd quite like to see what Les Films Paul Grimault would do with Mood Indigo (and perhaps Amélie, too)
I'll try to think of something serious, but Filmation's Slow Horses, including an important safety lesson at the end of every episode.
(yes, I realise not a film)
Moreover, that's why Baldwin gets the call: the Hero of Canton is put in charge , and the rest of the film is his legs slowly ( and ideally agonisingly: perhaps literally) being sawn out from under him
{3/3} but too much power in too few hands. Strange bedfellows are found from all walks of society, difficult conversations occur, and continue to occur between disenfranchised Alliance citizens, and browncoat worlds.
{2/#}... managing to put a charismatic, seemingly-sympathetic populist leader in charge who deregulates and destabilises everything.
The old rebels recognise that resultant anarchy and corruption is a step too far, and that the real problem is not a nanny state, but rather ...
There is one way this works:
The original series was always libertarian-leaning-mostly-decent folk just trying to get by in a [world] where most of society is seemingly over-goverened and over-regulated (see also Demolition Man). But what happens when those 'shackles' are removed, say, by...

The question ought to be is there anywhere it /doesn't/?
Within reason, anywhere served by a [functional] postal service /can/ be delivered to, provided Lulu is prepared to work with them.
Without reason, I hear Alpha Centauri is challenging, especially if you're waiting for expenses to clear
Seaspray and Cosmos must be so proud
Who puts out a press release on a Saturday?
That's the PR equivalent of a broken software patch going out late on a Friday afternoon (or Christmas morning *glares at #Duracell *)
Subliminally appealing to Labour and Lib-dem supporters perhaps?
You're seen, you're heard, come to the green-side
First person, on-rails, espionage thriller with seamless ranged combat mechanics and animation.
Having got to York in /that one/; 'historically accurate' is a poor description indeed 😜
Meanwhile, 9 and 13 just glare at each other across the Pennines
10, 10 wouldn't want Scotularity... unless the whole point of the story is 7, 12 and 15 ganging up on him until he gives in and stops putting on the English accent.
I don't believe there's a town by that name, or a variation on the spelling, but it someone was clearly thinking along the same lines as you:

Don't Look Up has the disadvantage of happening during the crisis it's reporting. The Big Short is, well, Acts one and two are 'there's a disaster about to happen', act three is it happening, then act four is post crisis... Don't Look Up, only has the facts for acts 1 and 2
Honestly, I'd start with private and corporate collections whose artefacts are held in vaults simply to acquire value... some of which may have originally found their way to market via routes that make colonial spoils look legit. At least with national collections we know where /most/ of it is.
Have to disagree with Hamilton here: complex strategy is what divides F1 from most other motor sport, and is perhaps half the reason we watch it. It's condescending, if not insulting to the fans, to suggest they aren't going to understand it.

News from small-minded island: From 25th February British dual-nationals will need an up-to-date British (or Irish) passport, of an extortionately priced certificate of entitlement to get into the country.

In this week's episode of 'Where do I know that voice from?'
Commander Tomov:
Admiral Hackett? Did someone reboot Lance Henriksen?
It was that or 'boil the frog'
...The skill in Threads, and in Adolescence for that matter, was keeping the viewers attention and getting the message through.
I'm in no doubt that WtWB and Threads had some impact on policy; we need just enough gentle terror to maybe nudge it again.
I approach the two, WtWB, then Threads, in that order. Not to blunt the reality but to soften the blow, to give the viewer a chance to brace themselves before they absorb the message. Yes, you can hit them square in the face, but they'll switch off...1/2
I should, Seattle, are playing after all, but I don't have 5 hours free to watch a 60 minute ball game
There were some odd calls in the original run: Vincent Price, Spike Milligan, Peter Ustinov... so in that vein, the more mismatched, the better:
Danny Trejo is the first name that comes to mind
Really? I could have sworn it was John Stewart and Zack Polanski

Side-note: Assuming dilithium was being mined on Praxis, and assuming (like the Earth and Moon) that Qo'nos had some geological composition in common with Praxis... does that suggest that Qo'Nos was destroyed, or rendered mostly uninhabitable by the burn as its dilithium deposits detonated?
