Thoughts on games, films, politics, other random stuff.

Don’t follow me if you don’t believe Black Lives Matter, trans women are women and we should protect the most vulnerable in society.

End genocide in Palestine 🇵🇸
Damn though, that Avatar trailer. I know the plot of these films is rote af, but they have a FEELING, man. I cannot wait. I wish I hadn’t seen the trailer though. (At Predator Badlands and I’m not a true unsullied like @jeffcannata.bsky.social).

Just saw the trailer for the new Anaconda film… woof. All I can hope is that as a comedy they’re not showing too many jokes. Also, Paul Rudd is showing signs of aging! I mean unbelievable for 56, but like Keanu, someone has discovered his portrait.

The fact that we live on a planet that is potentially rewarding a man who says shit like this with a trillion dollars is… just… what? bsky.app/profile/iwri...

God, from the few reviews I've read it sounds like Lumines Arise is a game I sort of NEED right now.

And another great piece to share, this time from @lexluddy.xyz - her review of Lumines Arise through the lens of coping with personal trauma, mental health troubles and eating disorder, with Tetris Effect being an anchor for that point in her life. Powerful stuff: bsky.app/profile/lexl...

Make Bond a codename. Grizzled Pierce Brosnan with his unbelievable head of hair is the baddie. "Oh, this is who they're calling Bond now?" he says to Mr. Dua Lipa. "That's what they called me, before they burned me. MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T BE LIVING HEEEEEERE."

This makes zero sense. There is no continuity across all of Bond. There's little to no chance that the next film will reference anything from Craig's era. bsky.app/profile/will...
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Some other good pieces I’ve read recently - the casting hypocrisy and idiocy from RGG studio by @ashlikeadragon.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/skyb...
Hamazaki Has To Goh - where does Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio draw the line on casting, and why is it not at sexual assault? by @ashlikeadragon.bsky.social

"it’s particularly insulting and disgusting for him to be cast in a series that has historically featured sex pests being (rightly) beat up"

This BBC stuff is doing my head in. Absolutely daft edit of course, but that great orange fool did incite violence, and it's ridiculous that he's now threatening lawsuits.

I really really enjoyed House of Dynamite just because I love that kind of shit even though it sort of says the same shit 3 times and ends with a whimper.

It’s funny how even just a few hours later I cringe reading this. I haven’t written anything in so long so it’s rather muddled, but I just wanted to get something out there. 😂 bsky.app/profile/sixt...
I wrote about Bugonia, the delicious new thriller from Yorgos Lanthimos that has become perhaps my movie of the year - sixtytwomike.substack.com/p/not-the-bees
Not the bees!

Man, I adored everything about Bugonia - including the fact that a 8pm Thursday showing of a Yorgas Lanthimos movie in my hometown was pretty full and although more crowd-pleasing than some of his other movies, doesn’t coward out of the weirdness.
