I watch movies, read comics, buy crap I don’t need and go to the pub but I have weekends off and I am my own boss.
Has anyone ever bought a light kit for LEGO?

I watched GDT’s Frankenstein again. Isaac is terrible in it and almost sinks the film. There’s also the scene of Frankenstein cutting up bodies in his lab that’s scored like you’re watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Apart from that I loved all the creature stuff so overall really enjoyed it.

People complaining about A.I. on social media already feels like this. I mean it’s here and staying here so why get so upset over it?

This is the first year I’ve noticed a big drop off in the number of times I go to the cinema. I used to go to everything and had a genuine fomo for new releases but now I just can’t be bothered. Only mentioning this as I’ve been reading the fair to poor reviews of The Running Man. 🤷

This show is absolutely mental.

Still watching this but, and this might sound ridiculous seeing as it’s a Stallone tough guy show, I really wish they’d dial down the testosterone a bit. Every week is just endless scenes of grizzled aulfellas growling that they’re going to kill each other.

This thing got generally good reviews but, dear god, it’s fucking awful. I don’t remember the first one much but I certainly don’t feel the HATE I feel about this one towards it. Hawke must have read the script and thought “seriously? I can film all my scenes in 2 days?”
Terrible doesn’t come close.

Looking forward to seeing the new documentary on the making of Exorcist 2. No matter how good the documentary is it’ll never convince me that film is anything more than a steaming pile of shite. How Boorman made the brilliant Deliverance THEN Zardoz THEN Exorcist 2 is a real head scratcher.

2nd go at watching Black Phone 2 but it’s so awful I’m not sure I’ll be able to finish it. Also life’s too short etc.

*live inside my mind* So with the current Criterion USA sale you can get The Wes Anderson Archive delivered for “only” €300 including taxes. Plus I’ve recently received an unexpected €150 tax rebate so I’m actually getting it for €150.

Enjoyed this. Good sci-fi with its own twist on a lot of familiar themes. Not sure where it’s going or how long it can continue (and I hope RS cheers up a bit) but I’ll definitely keep watching.

Giving blood and the place is really busy so people have obviously responded to the recent blood shortage appeals. 👍🏻😊

They said it would never happen but I’ve finally found something on the Irish Amazon site that’s cheaper than the English site and it’s a 4K movie!
The wonders will never cease.
Seriously though, it must be a mistake.

I wouldn’t class myself as a big fan of political dramas but I love this show. The latest season is really enjoyable. Russell and Sewell have to be top 10 tv married couples (this is just off the top of my head - no judgement)

A fact I read on IMDb last night - 4 directors have directed academy award winning performances in all 4 acting categories. Any guesses?
Small clue: Only one is still alive and working today.

Gave this an hour but that’s enough for me. After The Smashing Machine I’ve had more than enough turkey for one night.

Dull, flat, emotionally bankrupt sports biopic that left me scratching my head and wondering why the hell anyone wanted to make it. Imagine Rocky but instead of training montages we had endless scenes of Rocky and Adrian arguing about whose turn it was to clean out the turtles. A joyless dud.
