I’ve also witnessed the same crime attempt. The owner’s shout instructed Siri to play “Wrapped Around Your Finger” at high volume. This provoked an involuntary spasm which appeared as an intentional fling.

In tribute to Mr. Chavez, I organized a grape hunt for the neighborhood kids as an alternate Easter activity.

I am always up for a cracking story. Unless it is about a boy named Jimmy and some corn.

I’ve seen the light. From now on I plan to root for the North in all films on the topic.

BEEEEEEEENZ! I enjoyed the movie, but am not a diehard fan like you. I do like how this isn’t a reboot, but an alternate timeline. Is this the darkest timeline?

Once I saw Robocop on screen, I KNEW not to trust him.

Thanks for your reply about the recorded message Smiley hears again and again as he pieces things together about the mole. You’re right–the recording sounds like Tarr’s voice, but I couldn’t figure out where the recording came from. Irina must have been a real insider at the Russian spy agency and that she told Tarr everything she knew.

e.mike – I think that’s a recording of the debriefing Smiley conducted with Tarr.

Smiley told Jim Prideau that after the incident in Hungary when Prideau was captured, the agents in Hungary were “blown” and the story was that Jim had given them up to save his own life. I think this was Smiley’s way of motivating Jim to take action without telling him what he needed to do. It may have happened another way in the novel, but this is the way it appeared to me in the movie.

One minor note: When Prideau is introducing himself to his class of students, what looks like an owl flies into the room shrieking before Jim smashes it to the ground. Later in the movie, we learn that when he was in custody he was forced to listen to constant shrieking through earphones.

I still think that Jim Prideaux killing of Haydon was directed by circus. (smiley)

I think it is highly unlikely that Prideaux acted on his own. This would be an act of high treason in that they would have traded Haydon for captured British
agents. it would be no mystery who shot Haydon .

Likely., Circus never intended to send Haydon back because of the risk that circus procedures/policies/etc would be further compromised.
