Just seen that all 15 seasons of ER are coming to UK Netflix on Feb 10th. I've seen up to about Season 10, but fell away from it (I think the SECOND time a helicopter landed on Romano was my breaking point), but I may well take this opportunity to run through the whole series...

Been playing Rise of the Tomb Raider and I appear to be stuck. I'm in the Soviet Installation section, done the communication towers mission, but now wherever I turn I need equipment I don't have, and only get through story missions, but I'm not sure how to GET my next mission so I can progress...

Put this on because I was up early sorting a few discs. It also happens to count as the start of my #AlphabetFilm series, so I guess this will be the thread for those viewings.

I've hardly watched any films this year (just 18 so far), so, in search of some motivation, I'm going to try going to various parts of my collection and pick at least one movie I've not seen starting with A and then on to B etc on once I've cycled round the various genres and labels.

One of Band Maid's simpler songs, but this live version (with a drum solo in which Akane, as ever, seems to be having THE MOST FUN) is one of my go to tracks for introducing people to them. It's just so infectious.

I put the new NEK! video on a discord where we mainly talk movies (there is a music channel too) and people shared a few of their Japanese recommendations, including this one, which I also recommend.

New video from the brilliant JRock group NEK!. This is for Scrap Book, for me the best track from their 2025 full length debut, Meme.

Better having finished the game, but still not great.
A ★★½ review of Tomb Raider (2018)
Thought I'd give this a second look, having finished the 2013 game yesterday. I can see how it's a mixed bag as an adaptation. There are some smart decisions in how it highlights iconic aspects of bot...

I like this stupid, stupid series despite myself. I think it's not so much that they're great movies (they aren't) as I like the concept and the world, and keep hoping they'll make one that really excels. A TV series might be the place for it.
Any fans of the 2003 film, Underworld?

New NEK! video tomorrow, and it's for my favourite track from the album.

Another great track from Luli Lee. This is older, but it's also worth mentioning that her new EP, Brave New World, came out this past Wednesday.

I'm... of a certain age... the right age for this to hit the nostalgia centre of my brain. I'm not sure we need to do the fish out of water thing again though. Why not just set the movie fully on Eternia?

This popped up on my Yotube homepage, Never heard of the artist before, but I'm liking the style, the vocals, and the use of the bass as a lead instrument.

And here's the video for the new Scandal single. Liking this track more with each play.

I hope there will be online tickets, live or as an archive, for Scandal's 20th anniversary gig in August. I was there virtually for the 15th anniversary, and they were great. The 20th should be an incredible show.

New single from Scandal. So much better than last year's EP. After a couple of albums that largely moved in a more gentle direction, this is classic spiky guitar pop Scandal.

Scandal are doing a live presentation right now leading up to the debut of their new video. No translation on this intro, sadly. I assume they are talking about the single and other plans for the 20th anniversary (which is in August this year)

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the second sentence.

I think this is one of, if not the, first list like this where I've not seen a single entry and, tbh, only even heard of two of them. That in itself means I'm interested in all of these.

Brilliant movie. Also has one of my favourite cinephile nods to another film: Rose Lynn stays at the same motel as Samantha Mathis' character in The Thing Called Love, and the same song lyrics that character wrote are still up on the billboard at the motel.
Throwing this out there given the Jessie Buckley love going round:

If you haven't seen Wild Rose, fix that now.

I do find Jimmy Stewart interesting when his decency has a bit of darkness mixed in.
A ★★★½ review of The Man from Laramie (1955)
The last of James Stewart and Anthony Mann's Westerns keeps up the high standard and interesting take on Stewart's persona, which is always interesting when his inherent decency is tinged with darknes...
