Mark Hamill: Luke Skywalker, the Joker. We know him by many names. However, recently he’s been dishing out some serious laughs when it comes to the Trump Administration, much to the distaste of some of Mr President Orange’s employees.

Like this, for example:

This was after Trump won last year, and Hamill described his cabinet as a “who’s-who of really despicable people.”

I mean. He wasn’t wrong.

He bit back, rather bluntly:

*EXPLICIT*

Everyone flippin’ loves him.

And perhaps my favorite response:

We know how you feel @SustyAdvocate. We know how you feel.

Hamill also, last month, did a dramatic reading of Trump’s most awful tweets in his signature Joker voice.

It’s pretty decent.

So yeah. Don’t mess with the Joker. He always has the last laugh.

    4/5 If you love a good theme, Las Iguanas is a restaurant you might like to try. The Latin American-style chain has restaurants all over the country, but I recently popped into the one on Grey Street just down from the Theatre Royal. As always, the restaurant itself is pristine and the atmosphere is super […]

  • Books Book Review: 1984 by George Orwell
    1/5 1984 is always cited as one of the best books ever written. It’s supposed to be intelligent, sharp and profound. Instead, I found it to be dull, rambling and unremarkable. Oh, and rampantly sexist. George Orwell was clever – I’ve read his essays and I like them. But 1984? It was hard to believe […]
