Atkinson ended up enlisting, but her friend Mary Jackson never did.

What are Christopher Nolan’s best movies? Is ‘Oppenheimer’ his No. 1 film?
Christopher Nolan’s biographical film Oppenheimer is an intricate, meandering thriller chronicling the life of American physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, “the father of the atomic bomb”.

Blog: Wild Isles should inspire a movement for British wildlife with zoos and aquariums at its heart
BIAZA’s Andy Hall writes about Sir David Attenborough’s seminal Wild Isles, and how this is a moment to inspire a new movement for nature. There are several gut punches in Sir David Attenborough’s Wild Isles. The UK is one of the most nature depleted countries in the world. Wild salmon populations are in free fall. The UK’s globally important population of puffins is expected to decline 90% by 2050. But there were also many awe-inspiring moments from the master narrator and his team.

How to future-proof your fitness business for a post-pandemic world
By Andy Hall, COO of Volution (Olivex UK) In the past year, traditional business models have been flipped upside down, switching from physical-first to digital-first. As a result, launching a fitness business in 2021 requires a different outlook. Before COVID-19, brick-and-mortar facilities and digital solutions didn’t always work in a joined-up way, while at-home fitness was, at best, seen as the ‘frenemy’.

IFC Films via AP Andy Hall Most franchises that have made it to four films have by then traipsed the galaxy, pulled off a series of daring heists or freed Willy many times over.

Review: LOIS LANE #2 (OF 12)
Greg Rucka keeps the tension taut in the second issue of the Lois Lane 12-issue mini-series (or maxi-series as DC insists on calling it). He is taking advantage of the format to feature her in a way that Lois rarely gets shown in the comics. Even in modern stories, Lois is often the damsel in distress needing to be saved by Superman. But here, Rucka (Wonder Woman, Whiteout, New X-Men) presents her as a woman who knows her strengths and plays to them.

Review: Hawkman #12
When I was a kid I loved Hawkman. He and his girlfriend flew through the sky on giant wings and beat up bad guys with maces (because… comics). Then when I got older, I tried to make sense of who Hawkman was. Was he a space cop? Was he a reincarnated Egyptian prince? Was he an archaeologist with a bird fetish? The editors and writers at DC kept changing key aspects in an effort to “fix” Hawkman. And still, none of it made any sense.

Photo by Scott Holter, used with permission. by Andy Hall In my post on George Hatton this morning, I included a newspaper account of his participation in a Decoration Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. The story noted that Hatton made "a short but eloquent address." Sharp-eyed readers may have also noticed that, buried in the text of the article, was a passing reference to the presence there of one Frederick Douglass.
