So, I've basically watched all the mainline Japanese #Godzilla movies - all 30 of them. So here's my overall ranking of them all. (Alt text for all the names and scores).

Watching old MOTORHEAD gig footage, because it never gets old. Still miss Lemmy, but glad I got to see him with the band many times over the years.

I'd rather UHT milk have the Milk name removed. That stuff is far more offensive because it actually pretends to be dairy-milk, and not the liquid plastic garbage it actually is.

I can happily watch boxing, MMA and all sorts of painful sports, but I turn on the Winter Olympics and see it's the moguls skiing and my knees just wince and I have to watch something else.

I watched this last night. I can't say it wants me to spend time in a Thai prison. Not that it was something I was planning on doing anyway.
A ★★★★ review of A Prayer Before Dawn (2017)
Feels like it was shot in a real Thai prison with actual inmates as supporting cast. Which is to say if feels a pretty realistic and harrowing depiction of life in such a prison. I loved how very litt...

Finished THE EXIT 8 this morning, although I'm pretty sure some routes I took were just on vibes, rather than actually spotting abnormalities. However, having finished it and read up on the abnormalities I think I identified all but 1 of them so it can't have just been vibes.
Fun, short game.

I'm going to be in London on Tuesday 17th evening and I see that Prince Charles Cinema has a mystery movie at 8:15pm. Have any of my mutuals been to one of those showings? Tend to get a good crowd?

New MAYHEM album is fantastic, if you like that kind of thing. Pity I've not been paying attention, because they're playing in London tomorrow and if I'd known I would've tried to go along.
I've hardly seen any old school black metal bands live. Attila's operatically evil vocals are still superb.

This match is like when England won the Rugby world cup in 2003 just from Jonny Wilkinson taking a bunch of penalty kicks. #superbowl

Whenever I watch a Superbowl halftime show it makes me think about how much trouble people would get into from the groundskeeper for just thinking about putting a single foot onto a Premier League pitch, even 5 days away from a match, yet these folks are stamping all over theirs at half time.

Went to see SEND HELP. It's good fun, but I think because it's Raimi it's also a little disappointing.
I wonder what people who haven't seen a Raimi film before thinks about it?

A ★★★½ review of Send Help (2026)
It's good fun, although probably loses half-a-star or so purely because it's Sam Raimi and not some fresh new director. Which seems unfair, but it does feel like he played it a bit safe, when we know ...

Having a chill morning with a cuppa while reading some conspiracy theories that Epstein is still alive, because his Fortnite account was still active and has been buying V-Bucks. Which, as far as Epstein conspiracies go is at least a fun one.

Friday nights are for watching 2.5hr Korean movies that you know nothing about other than a) it's apparently good, and b) I shouldn't read up about it before watching it.
So I'm doing that.

One of the best places to listen to music is when you're sat on a train for an hour or so with decent headphones and nothing else you need to be doing.
Which is what I'm doing right now, with possibly my favourite album of 2025.

Damn I loved that D&D movie 'Honor Among Thieves'.
I was one who actually went to the cinema to see it too, so I can't even be blamed for not giving it a try.

Honestly i just want more of that D&D movie the entire industry seems to want to forget about because they accidentally made a film too charming and now people have experienced a pleasant time and have expectations

Damn, I loved every single second of this. All recorded into the one mic? Everyone with smiles on their faces as they rattle through this performance. And they make it all look effortless too.
Bluegrass is great too. Just such happy music. It's impossible to play the blues if you're on a banjo.

A solid entry into the 'look how many famous people are in this movie' genre of movie poster.
Looking forward to this one. No idea how a sequel to the first could work, but I'm interested to find out. Mostly because Samara is back for it.

We keep trying to make things like this work in the UK, and we keep failing. But I'll hope for the best, and if things go well it means we have some much needed new comedy faces on our TV, which is a good thing.
I just pray it's actually funny and not just SNL funny (i.e. 1 hit to every 20 misses)

I've had a few decades existing in the world, but still can’t tell where "West" is without a struggle.
Every time I have to pause a few seconds, picture a compass in front of me and say "North, East, South, West" to myself.
I even physically point to the imaginary nodes on this compass. Every time.

It's an old clip, but I just saw it again and it made me smile. Alec Guinness talking about how he got the extra 0.25% (or was it 0.5%) on top of his 2% Star Wars deal.
Turned out pretty well for him.
