Do not be telling me that that buffoon Meltzer rated the typically bloated mens B&G match higher than the exciting and perfectly-paced women's one.

Review catchup!

Hocus Pocus (1993) - boxd.it/byA9al Good Halloween fun
Bugonia (2025) - boxd.it/bz44Rp Another Yorgos banger
Caught Stealing (2025) - boxd.it/bA3i49 Average at best
The Smashing Machine (2025) - boxd.it/bC96xD Rock and Blunt carry it
A ★★★½ review of The Smashing Machine (2025)
Certainly Big Dwayne's best performance, at times he's really outstanding - but also far too much of him just acting like Big Funny Lovely Interviewee Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, to the point that the ...

New @chairshot.bsky.social is uploaded, but Squarespace is having some issues so the feed seems to not be working and I haven't been able to add time stamps

Coming soon hopefully!

this lad says some mad shit - "even our proper XI would would have lost tbh"
Arne Slot utters some more of his trademark utterly inane thoughts - rapidly becoming a regular occurrence as the pressure of Liverpool defeat after defeat slowly cooks his egg head into a tasty scrambled brain breakfast.

In funny anti-twitter news, if you take the first letter of the name of every person who has wrestled on AEW TV this year, the only letters currently missing from that list are "F, U, X"

Review catchup!

Two movies that were great, but maybe a bit long and one that was about a walk that was long! Ahhh life.

The Wailing (2016): boxd.it/bnEnlV
Contact (1997): boxd.it/bmxmp5
The Long Walk (2025): boxd.it/bkHTup
A ★★★★ review of The Wailing (2016)
You could trim a good 30 mins of the early goofiness off this and youll have a serious film on your hands. Ritual scene was top notch

Spinal Tap 2: The End Continues (2025)

Wanna hear "(Listen to the) Flower People" again... again?

A ★★ review of Spinal Tap II: The End Continues (2025)
You'd have a really good, funny, 45 min TV special if you cut out the 45 mins where they just matter-of-factly play the old songs. I was amazed how little of it was actually improv comedy.

This was fine. Nice little story, never felt overwrought or aggressively annoying like so many MCU movies. Great little design choices like the alternate 60s aesthetic and the more Geiger-inspired sci...

All is Lost (2013)

RIP big Rob

A ★★★½ review of All Is Lost (2013)
Like Flow, but if instead of a cute little cat, the protagonist was a 70 year old man, and instead of going on a magical adventure, he bonked his head and fell into the water over and over.

Jerry Maguire (1996)

Never has there been a bigger gulf in quality between the lead actor in a movie and LITERALLY EVERYONE ELSE IN THE MOVIE.

Everyone in this is so, so good, except Tom Cruise, who is absolutely dreadful. Outacted by a 5 year old. Good thing he quickly figured out that hanging off planes was his forté because moving romanti...

Mentioned on this week's new CSP, my little collection of cards / autographs from stuff I'm into... thread & notes on each in the "ALT" section
So I try to get one autograph card of each of the men's AEW world champions. You might notice, I try to get them from different sets to no two cards look the same... May one day start with the women as well, cos some of them are bloody class. I love Twin Peaks and bought myself a hobby box for my birthday this year. Some, uh... less prominent characters (though the principal who announces Laura's death to the school is kind of iconic), super happy to get a dual auto (and Richard Beymer / Ben Horne too!) It's Lost, it's a bit of John Locke's shirt. My God. So I loved Man Utd since I was a kid, specifically Eric Cantona (hence the auto + the match worn relic). Have also tried to pick up some autos of other players from that era who I was / am fond of.

Companion (2025)

Yer man looked so much like Donny Osmond I couldn’t concentrate on anything else when he was onscreen.

A ★★★½ review of Companion (2025)
Very good, but never quite crossed the line into great. Good fun nevertheless.

More like 'The Ugly Cinematohraphy Boring Club' amirite?

A ★½ review of The Thursday Murder Club (2025)
Absolutely anodyne, thrill-free whodunit. Indistinguishable from the random TV inspector guff you'd see on ITV at 3pm on a Wednesday.
