Joining this app from Twixter is kinda like getting a new phone & finding out your fave solitaire game doesn't carry progress over to a new device, so you have to start from scratch. Equal parts annoying & entertaining. I was never one for a huge follower count, but it'd be nice to exceed my old one

Anybody who dismisses #KevinSmith and his work as juvenile? I implore you, watch #Dogma, watch #Clerks 1-3 (especially 1 & 3) , and I mean really watch. There's a cleverness to the storytelling and a well observed understanding of human nature across all of the #ViewAskewniverse My go to feel goods.

Away in #Coniston for a few nights' break. The cottage we're staying in is really nice, but the Samsung HDTV has been severely fucked up by previous guests. Massive amounts of purple blotching indicating damaged backlights, and an equal amount of burn in shadows. Pic's alt text has more info.

In #Coniston for a few nights away. Walked the dog down to the lake, and there's a small area of shops, one of which sells confectionery of a certain kind. Closed, as it's February and it was also 9am. But each of their parking places was marked as in the picture. #NudgeNudge

Watching #ZackSnydersJusticeLeague for the second time (first time in 5 years) and I'm remembering just how overblown and frankly ridiculous it is. Partly because I find elements of the DCU frankly silly, but mostly because Zack Snyder is a heavy handed, ham fisted storyteller. Fun but shit.

A slow day at work, so my mind wanders to the two #MissionImpossible movies I watched yesterday. #DeadReckoning & #FinalReckoning and just how much of a fall off in quality there was between the two. Final Reckoning felt overfilled with bloated exposition and plot convenience. Just felt off.

Myself and the Mrs have spent six hours of today watching a near OAP aged man performing increasingly ridiculous stunts to prove his continued relevance within his chosen profession.

#AmericanPrimeval on #Netflix is a stunning Western miniseries. Jai Courtney doesn't have a huge role in it, but he's damn impressive in it. As is Dane Dehaan, Taylor Kitsch and Sheah Wigham. Frankly, everybody in it shines. But, damn, if it isn't the grimmest, darkest tale.

Why does #AmazonUK bother letting you add delivery instructions to your addresses, including opening times when it's your work address? Only to schedule a delivery window that's more than 50% after closing time? And of course the eta keeps getting extended as the day goes on.

There'll be a lot of disappointed, and even angry #StrangerThings fans today. The #ConformityGate theory gathered a lit of ground and had some pretty compelling evidence. And some pretty ridiculous evidence, too. I think the Duffer Bros added layers of ambiguity that have been misinterpreted.

There's a lot of very disappointed #ConformityGate theorists across the world right now.
I know Jan 7th isn't over in the USA until 9am on the 8th UK time, but if there was going to be a secret final finale episode of #StrangerThings it would surely be up on Netflix by now.

Well, I've got about 6 hours of game time in #GhostOfYotei under my belt now, and, despite being a middle-aged, white, cis-male gamer, my penis hasn't dropped off because of being forced to play as a woman protagonist.

So, the #StrangerThings finale then? I kind of accepted that it may not satisfy completely, but I don't think it was that bad. It did a good job of wrapping up loose ends, as did season 5 as a whole. Glancing over the viewers' reviews on imdb and I despair for the state of media literacy, I do.

With the rumour that the next gen of consoles possibly being delayed until 2030, due to the #AI boom causing a #RAMshortage , I had a worrying thought. The next gen of consoles are going to be so infested with non-optional AI that they won't be able to run without and you can't remove anyway.

In an era where there's quite a few legacy sequels of varying quality and mixed reception, I've finally watched #BeverlyHillsCop #AxelF on #Netflix and, you know what? It's the perfect blend of nostalgia and revitalisation. It's a better plot, script and movie that 2&3, easily as good as the first.

Every now and again I'm reminded that #StarWars #TheForceAwakens gave us slightly updated X-Wings and Tie-Fighters, when a few years later #Ahsoka gave us the E-Wing, #Andor gave us the Tie Avenger. And I feel sad that the saga's end was built on playing it safe nostalgia bait.

Another movie to make me feel old watched. The Wild Geese. Struggling to comprehend that I'm only 3 years younger than Richard Burton, 2 years younger than Roger Moore and 1 year older than Richard Harris were when they made this movie. The movie itself is now 47 years old.

The Walking Dead #DarylDixon committed a big rug pull, didn't it? Season 2 ends with them crossing the channel from France, using the Chunnel and arriving in England. In Episode 1 of season 3, they walk the white cliffs, pass through a quaint village, get to London, find a boat, end up in Spain

Might catch flak for this but #Avatar, taken on its merits, is a pretty good movie. Original? No. Deep? No. But, visually stunning, narratively satisfying and well directed. OK, so it's characters are clichés wrapped on stereotypes and the plot is squarely on the nose. But it's a really fun watch.

I don't think it's the unmitigated clusterfuck people made it out to be. Yes, the script's a bit wanky, Dakota Johnson is phoning it in with the most wooden performance, but it's not unenjoyable. I've seen worse. Much worse.
