I am a scouse chronically ill film buff with a healthy love for Midsomer Murders. I skeet along to the things I watch. I'm also on Mastodon but over there is very very quiet on my feed so here I am.

If it was a drinking game where you had a drink everytime there was a reference to the Beatles or a Beatles song was on a soundtrack, I don't think you'd go many days without having to drink at least once.
I *am" that annoying person who hears the name of a film and then tells you what other film did the plot better.
Sorry.
Sorry.

My dearest internet stranger, I survived by buying boxsets. I survived by rotating 4 films for a whole year and watching every single commentary available on the DVD.
I survived by taking advantage of play dot cons penny sales.

We are on to week 4. I need a new crush of the week, stat, because I am genuinely out of watchable things to watch and in "obsessive rewatch" territory if I don't control myself. I am blaming the ADHD
Annoyingly Crush of the Week is now on the 3rd week and he does not have the filmography to support the amount of mental bandwidth he is taking up.

I'm watching a Christmas film with my father. It's called Hot Frosty.
I was not expecting a naked man.
Also he's just gone through a glass window and in real life he'd be cut to ribbons. Um.... There would be glass...

Alt: A gif from the movie Bridget Jones's Diary where Bridget is sitting on a couch singing and crying along to All By Myself. She is wearing red Christmas pyjamas with a print on it not very easily seen on the gif. The words all by myself are at the bottom of the gif in white text.

I either need to watch something Amazingly good, or really enjoyable rubbish. I have had a Day.
Example of amazingly good - Master and Commander.
Example of Enjoyable Rubbish - The Christmas Cure.
Something in between - Cellular.

I wish the last 2 Star Wars movies were as good as The Force Awakens. I hate how it all ended. We could have had something perfect but no, we got that incell-romantification shit fest instead.

I've just realised. Jack Black has been in two films with Joan Cusack. High Fidelity, with John Cusack, and then School of Rock.

Let's try that again - somewhere on the internet, maybe not here, I made an emphatic plea for my crush of the week to be the boyfriend to be in a hallmark style Christmas movie. It didn't happen.
And now, here I am, making the same emphatic plea.... But the crush of the week is different. Oh well.

I went through a slump a few months ago where I didn't really enjoy what I was watching, and these were newish, and/or blockbusters. Then I watched Cellular, which is a chaotic action thriller movie with Chris Evans and Jason Statham from 2004 and it was the best thing I'd watched in a long time.
One thing that’s kind of nice about so many new movies being bad is you can watch older mid-movies and they feel solid by comparison. Rewatched Phantom Menace and honestly, not bad
