“Perhaps you have forgotten. That’s one of the great problems of our modern world, you know. Forgetting. The victim never forgets. Ask an Irishman what the English did to him in 1920 and he’ll tell you the day of the month and the time and the name of every man they killed. Ask an Iranian what the English did to him in 1953 and he’ll tell you. His child will tell you. His grandchild will tell you. And when he has one, his great-grandchild will tell you too. But ask an Englishman—” He flung up his hands in mock ignorance. “If he ever knew, he has forgotten. ‘Move on!’ you tell us. ‘Move on! Forget what we’ve done to you. Tomorrow’s another day!’ But it isn’t, Mr. Brue.” He still had Brue’s hand. “Tomorrow was created yesterday, you see. That is the point I was making to you. And by the day before yesterday, too. To ignore history is to ignore the wolf at the door.” - A Most Wanted Man by John le Carré

If it’s bad, don’t come back. I want to remember you all as you were.

TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY by John Le Carre

Bill Haydon's death at the end of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy might be my favorite kill in any movie.

Barely reacts to his own murder at the hands of his lover, whose life he destroyed. He's dead before the bullet enters his skull. Jesus.

@deadline 📲 EXCLUSIVE: One year ago we told you that a second season of John le Carré adaptation #TheNightManager was quietly being developed under the codename Steelworks. Now, @deadline can reveal that the BBC and new co-pro partner Amazon have gone big on a supercharged two-season order of the thriller, with Tom Hiddleston returning to lead, Hugh Laurie coming back as EP and with a new director in I Hate Suzie’s Georgi Banks-Davies. A third season has also been greenlit. David Farr is series creator and Stephen Garrett is leading the production.

@empiremagazine The Night Manager is confirmed for 2 more seasons with #TomHiddleston as Jonathan Pine and exec producer. Season 2, to film later this year, will be directed by Georgi Banks-Davies. Hugh Laurie will be an EP w/ BBC & Amazon PRIME as a global partner.

Currently listening to the audiobook of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Michael Jayston clearly had fun doing Connie Sachs' voice. "Oh Geooooorge!!!" 😂
