Hot damn. Episode 9 of The Morning Show - Season 4 is fantastic!

This Marion Cotillard at her most sinister as Céline.

And Alex and Mia attempting to free Bradley from Belarus with a risky, hush-hush deal at an opera house was exciting.

Haim live at the O2 is exactly what I needed this season. ❤️

I finally managed to get my hands on an EU copy of MotorStorm - Complete Edition.

I rinsed this game back in the summer of 2007. This version contains all the DLC released for the game, additional music, and EFIGS.

So pleased to add it to my collection.

Black British romcom Rye Lane (2023) is now on BBC iPlayer.

Everybody should watch it. It’s a good time.

Beautiful cinematography, charming performances and a script that captures the excitement of young love in London Town.

And, being the Monáe superfan that I am, it’s exciting to see what she’s doing creatively.

I’m like: Janelle Monáe + 19th century period drama/horror + fresh new 21st century outfits? I’m in! 😄

I watched Antebellum (2020) for the first time over the weekend.

An unusual film that see Janelle Monáe living as a slave on a US plantation in the past, and as a successful author championing the black perspective in the present.

Some bright moments, but its structure and ending didn’t satisfy.

Started season 4 of The Morning Show. This show has had outstanding drama since it began.

Power games. Affairs. Unresolved conflicts. Honestly, the way this show has weaved in moments of reality is exciting and tragic.

It’s got me hooked again.

Last year, after more than a decade in my backlog, I finally steeled myself and devoted time to play and finish Dead Space (2008) on PS3.

I loved it.

So, for spooky season this year I’m playing Until Dawn on PS4. 💀

I am so pleased that Judith has won #DestinationX. 🥳🙌🏾✨

She had the spirit, the fortitude and the grace to push on, despite being outcast and overlooked by her fellow finalists.

What a twist. And what a well deserved winner.

Judith forever.

Just finished watching the final episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks.

A fun finale and a fitting send-off for Mariner and co.

I discovered Lower Decks back in 2022. It’s still the best animated sci-fi show since Futurama for me.

Long live Lower Decks. 🚀

Yukimi’s set was spectacular. 🎶

A lot of the songs on her debut album are chilled and self-reflecting.

But there was no storage of energy and passion from her and the band. Beautiful tributes to her children and her late parter, too.

Before Yukimi stepped on stage, the support act Bina blew the roof off. Serious energy from her songs, which she likes to refer to as “soft rage”.

One to watch.

Visited the #SouthbankCentre yesterday evening for a bit of its annual #MeltdownFestival.

This year’s festival is curated by the indelible #LittleSimz.

I went to see Yukimi Nagano – best known as the lead singer of Little Dragon – performing songs from her debut solo album. It’s was super fun. 🎶

Back from watching Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning at the BFI IMAX.

This was a very good time.

More tense, high-pressure action sequences for Tom Cruise and co with the world on the brink of catastrophe because of a rogue AI.

I visited the BFI IMAX for the first time in over 15 years (!) yesterday to see #Sinners.

It’s really something: charming, soulful, sinister, and totally gripping.

Also, nobody told me that Faye Marsay is in it as the street crew’s mechanic, Amy.

She is so funny in the Channel 4 sitcom Fresh Meat, and it’s no different here.

I’m probably gonna have to keep playing just to find out what happens to Amy and her crew.

Watched Thunderbolts* at the cinema today.

I’d was doubtful of this one – remember 2016’s Suicide Squad? But it was impressive.

No homework needed. Straight to the point, right from the jump. Intrigue, action and great characters and chemistry.

A very pleasant surprise.

Terrific writing, performances and direction. And terrific music, too.

This is not television: it is a cautionary tale of dreams meeting reality. It’s pressure, it’s pain, it’s drinks with old friends. It’s learning to find your creative spark again.

This is a masterpiece. 🎻✨👏🏾

Striving for a dream job – or any dream – only to get there and discover that it is not what it seemed (difficult masters, rising expectations, the constant need to keep working when you want to, and should be, taking a break) is something that truly resonates in this episode.

The story follows cellist Sylvie (Annamarie Kasper) who lands her dream job as part of the Mythic Quest Orchestra, led by the formidable maestro Gustavo (Esai Morales).

We see Sylvie go from joyful and confident to anxious and out of sync as the demands of life as a touring musician hit her.

Wow! Side Quest Ep 3 is some of the best TV I’ve seen in years. Bar none.

We’ve seen stories of dream jobs turning to nightmares, but to express a whole arc in 30 min with the character, verve and cinematic excellence that this does is incredible. Watch it! 🎻✨

I don’t think I’ve ever been to a black-owned comic book store.

There’s some good humour and commentary about nerd culture in it, and how these black characters identify.

Also, a perfect needle drop with ‘Bliss’ by Amber Mark. What a tune ✨

Watched WarGames (1983) for the first time over the weekend.

How I managed to miss out on this Matthew Broderick classic for so many years I’ll never know.

Computer games! 👾 Floppy disks! 💾 High school mischief! 🤭 A deadly military computer that can be thwarted with logic! 💡 Loved it.

Found my way back to the mesmerising music of @alunageorge.bsky.social last night.

I relistened to their debut album Body Music today. It’s a real masterpiece: beats that are supple and otherworldly, and Aluna’s unique voice that brings a soft intimacy and energy to every song.
