Amazed to find @sbsaustralia.bsky.social has #TheMovieShow episodes from the 1990s on demand. This show was my teenage proto movie geek training ground. I remember watching some of these reviews almost 3 decades ago. David Stratton was 100% correct, Starship Troopers was destined to be underrated.

Wish there were a #criticalmass for pedestrians. #stuttgart Germany is 1 of the most walking-hostile places I've ever lived. Its habit of fencing off park paths & closing footpaths for construction for years & the number of quiet streets with lights instead of zebra xings is on a whole other level.

Well I'd say fuck all the doubters. Jacob Elordi is incredible as the monster in #Frankenstein

Jeff Hiller winning for Somebody Somewhere has made my morning and put a smile on my face. Wasn't even aware he was nominated. Wish this show had more awards love. His speech was delightful as well #emmys

Sure, we're in a climate crisis and global politics have given up on fighting climate change, but go ahead and portray record breaking heatwaves as a frolic through urban water features, Deutsche Welle #climatecrisis

I was not prepared for the absolute insane final 25 minutes of #thesubstance.

Controversial opinion? Rewatching both #Lost & #Dexter 1st seasons. For me Dexter holds up much better. Is it the 25 eps vs 12 eps? Apart from a few solid central performances, Lost feels more messy & repetitive than I remember. Also features 1 of most unconvincing dog performances I've ever seen.

Rewatching #Lost and my main takeaway is how intolerable most of the characters are. I always found Jack to be hard work but many of the others are also needlessly antagonistic. Also MANY bad Australian accents.

I try not to use Amazon when possible but online stores in Germany are so terrible. Often no delivery date given, very little communication, and I just purchased something from a site where the only payment option was direct deposit. No movement on the purchase 2 days later. Already regretting it.
