Couldn’t find an un-smiling photo this year, so I guess tis a very merry Chris Messina to you all.

Didn’t expect HFR to get all up in Avatar in IMAX, literally switches between frame rates within shots in dialogue scenes at times. Looks bloody good during action though fair play.

Enjoyed the new Avatar more than expected but my highlight of that several hours was the Odyssey prologue by a distance. That score is going to be an all timer.

Have to say, The Force Awakens being 10 years old? Could have told me it was older and I’d believe you, we’ve had more Star Wars content in that time than between ‘77 and then and it feels like there’s been the opposite of a temporal pincer movement because of it

Watched Megadoc last night. Coppola changing his mind about why he wanted to make it, Shia alternating personable and insufferable, Hoffman seeming not that grouchy and Figgis looking like he’s going to vibrate when thinking about how much he enjoys Aubrey Plaza? A very good time.

Well that Budget… from a professional POV, it’s just made life harder lol, historically hard to get people to be serious about paying into a pension and now it’ll be even more so. Very much doubt most employers will be as generous in their schemes going forward and people won’t be paying more in..

@alexdaviesjones.bsky.social Ponty resident who had a Labour sign up in last election here. Feeling pretty defeated by today’s news, very much would like your feelings on the new immigration proposals. I’ll be honest, this could be the straw that breaks the camel’s back, I’m so disappointed

Shouting into the void here but fuck me, Labour are so disappointing. Not on a local level, at least for me, but the fact today’s events and the phrase “performative cruelty” feel like they match is just awful. The Home Secretary should really be gagging on her every word.

LOVED Bugonia. Very much twinned with another film I 5 star’d this year in its take on humanity but as entertaining as it is very very sad. Plemons and Stone both bloody brilliant.

I kinda need some BTS footage of Good Boy where Indy is given treats and cuddles after takes. The bit with the doghouse in particular, genuinely bothered me how frightened he seemed. Sad fucking film overall but damn.
