Geek, nerd, spends way too much time in the cinema.
Pinned
In light of recent events, a new pin is needed.

Bigots, TERFs and other such morons, including those who believe DEI practices take jobs, just fuck off. They don't, you're an idiot, I'm being polite, and no you won't change my mind.

Everyone else? Hello! Film and TV nerd here. It's nice to talk.
OK, can see why Sammy is the official "Money Run" character. 641k earned in one Bone Zone run.

Also, Game Killer did 5.2MILLION damage in 41 seconds. Vicious Hunger and Star Flail did 5.4m and 5.7m respectively, in 15 minutes. #VampireSurvivors

Sisu 2 and Good Boy drop on blu-ray on the same day next month.

Hell yeah, let's have a Fucking Fuckers Up trilogy as a late Valentine's Day pressie to myself.

Y'all have my permission to call me an idiot because I didn't know he was a literary character, I've only ever known him from the film.
Puritan. Fiend. Fanatic. Solomon Kane.

Actual musical: Six*
Musical film: Anna and the Apocalypse

* This will almost certainly change in twenty days when I FINALLY see Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, the musical.

So. Avatar. Good way to start the cinematic year. Definitely more of a 2.5 than a 3, and I think Kiri got a lot less screen time than the stuff I was hearing implied, but pretty damned fine. Did spend most of the film trying to remember Sigourny Weaver's name though.

OK, own up, who's studied crocodiles and/or alligators far too much lately?

(Dentists needn't worry, I've seen croc/gator dentistry, you'll still rack up a fortune in no time).
“If the trial is successful, the researchers hope the drug will become available for all forms of toothlessness sometime around 2030.”

The article leaves a lot of questions open but this would be amazing if it works.

The last book I finished was a Dresden File, so, uh, well... technically I think I'm unemployed, but either way: Fuck.

I am the biggest fanboy of this universe in my county, so obviously it's Percy Jackson.

BYO Torches. Flame ones preferred.

Bugger all on tonight, but no matter, I've got John Hurt and Michael Gambon telling stories for the evening.

(Which is to say I got The Storyteller and TS: Greek Myths on blu-ray this year).

Oh. My. Gods. The Tactician just wiped out the first boss in three turns. It was my first run with her. and she didn't take a speck of damage.

Vampire Survivors may have a rival for Most Bonkers Game of the Year. #BallxPit

So I've just found Transformers Cybertron on Prime.

Why did nobody tell me someone had made Transformers: The Power Rangers Edition?! BAD INTERNET, COAL FOR YOU THIS YEAR!

Great Scott, that's awesome!
My 14-yo-son has recreated the climax of Back to the Future in gingerbread and I thought you should know.

Sorry, Jim, but you can bloody wait a week. I've just worked a retail shift today and I'm knackered. I've got other stuff to sort tomorrow that I can't justify sitting in a cinema for four hours for, too. But mostly, Muppets is on tomorrow.

Just seen an image of the 1999 LEGO Sebulba.

in other news, I have a new nightmare.

War Between Land and Sea and Strange New Worlds S3 both drop on blu-ray the same day.

Well that's an interesting double-bill.
December 17, 2025 at 8:45 PM
Yes, and? This news is almost as old as you are!
December 17, 2025 at 4:12 PM
Was the guy in charge of this the same idjit that was in charge of OG She-Ra from the 80s?! It looks fucking horrendous.

Willy's back, and he's pissed!
December 15, 2025 at 6:48 PM
Uh, was anyone else aware that there's a pair of Godzilla novellas based on the first two original movies and that they're available in English? Because until about twenty minutes ago, I bloody wasn't!
December 13, 2025 at 4:41 PM
I'm going to watch Avatar 3 at some point, but look: It comes out the week before Christmas, it's four bloody hours long with ads, and I can watch Muppet Christmas Carol at my regular in half that time and still do something else (mayhap some last minute shopping) on the same day. Sorry Jim.
