My brain has been fuck so it's been a week of watching movies.
Wyrmwood: Road Of The Dead (2014): letterboxd.com/judges119/fi...
perfectly Aussie, perfectly over-the-top zombie film
The Long Walk (2025): letterboxd.com/film/the-lon...

#AzAbsorbs
The Thing (1982): letterboxd.com/judges119/fi...
Green Room (2015): letterboxd.com/judges119/fi...
Can't believe I took so long to watch it; tense and confronting.
KPop Demon Hunters (2025): letterboxd.com/judges119/fi...
Perfectly made to be a hit, just like KPop idols, but gorgeous/cute

#AzAbsorbs
The Creator (2023): letterboxd.com/judges119/fi...
visually gorgeous scifi allegory for American interventionism in SEA
The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025): letterboxd.com/film/the-fan...

The Fall Of Cadia by Robert Rath: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

re-read of The Complete Aliens Omnibus Vol 1 by Steve Perry: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

also we can't forget that politics is like professional sport - people train for so much of their lives to appeal to whatever group will get them in regardless of their actual beliefs.

hell, even he's gone back on being a commie and saying ACAB

i googled it and first article said "matching skull and crossbones reminiscent of a totenkopf he got with colleagues while deployed" and my first thought was "drunk/stupid/young soldier" (that still doesn't excuse not getting it covered up)

but buried the lede finding out he worked for Blackwater!?

#AzAbsorbs
Finished campaigns of Modern Warfare (2019) and Modern Warfare 2 (2022).

No Steam reviews because I pirated. I only wanted to play the campaign but forcing me to shell out a hundred dollarydoos for a six year old cash cow is a fucking rort.

Review: unintentionally incredibly hilarious.

Wolfenstein: The New Order: steamcommunity.com/id/judges119...
everything you want from a wolfenstein game: killing nazis.

Dead Island 2: steamcommunity.com/id/judges119...
Leagues ahead of any Far Cry or Borderlands I've played for chaotic/silly/fun and good design.

Flux by Jinwoo Chong: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
Camouflaged in trappings of a techno thriller this book is ready to pounce and force you to confront grief, the marginalisation of Asian-Americans, and realising you are repeating abuse cycles you promised to break.

#AzAbsorbs
Nock Loose by Patrick Marlborough: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

John Wick by way of He Died With A Felafel In His Hand. Truly the Great Australian Novel of my generation.

#AzAbsorbs
