I like self-service checkout machines, because it means the staff can sit and gossip to themselves while getting paid, and not judge me for buying "Bluey" stickers.
(I put @sachajudd.com's sticker with my stack of Bluey stickers because this is all about my love. Of shiny metallic sad Bingo.)

Enjoying Royal Sussex Hospital's Urgent Treatment Centre. There is the BIGGEST seagull outside looking very threatening to anyone who comes nearby. I can only assume he's representing the resident doctors.

Welp, I'm a casualty of #ffconf. That fall I took on the stairs on my way to the afterparty has wrecked my knee. Time for knee supports, pain killers, and a lot of swearing.
(And I specifically brought one of my coelacanth shirts to wear to the aquarium 😭)

Today I watched "Prey" (2022) on Film4.
A review of Prey (2022)
Yet again, I'm so sad this never got a real theatrical release. I would have loved to see this on a huge screen, all the action, all the sound, everything. Dang, Trachtenberg knows how to make a Preda...

Tonight I watched "The Wedsworth-Townsend Act" (1972), the TV movie that kicked off "Emergency!".
A review of Emergency! (1972)
I used to watch this show obsessively every weekday between the ages of 10 and 12, while I was being home schooled. Then if I ever found it on TV, I'd watch it again. I started watching 9-1-1, but it'...

Today, I watched 'All That Heaven Allows" (1955), part of the Melodrama season at the Broadway.

When I bought "House Flipper 2", I didn't think I'd reach a point in the game where I'm obsessing about kerning.

Today, I saw "The Running Man" (2025), which was the "mystery movie" at the Vue in town.
A review of The Running Man (2025)
I'm not sure what to think about this. I mean, as an action film, it's a lot of fun – Edgar Wright knows how to make a movie, and he does well with a great cast (I don't think I've really seen Glen Po...

A review of Predator: Badlands (2025)
It's obvious Dan Trachtenberg has one true love in his life, and it's making fun smart-ass Predator films. Just give him a good budget, free rein with the canon, and set him loose. Throw in the larger...

A review of One Dark Night (1982)
I have to say, it's pretty impressive when your Big Bad for most of the film is just a flashing pink light behind a cracked marble tile. This is the kind of movie you want to show at, like, a 10-year-...

Still a delight to watch, all gothic horror, queer subtext, and houses that are just born bad. Add to it the delights of watching it at a Fortune & Glory showing, where you wave a pride flag when the ...

A review of The House on Sorority Row (1982)
A nice generic 80s' slasher, nothing too exciting, but amusing due to 1982 fashion, the mediocre rock band, and the absolutely trippy bits at the end, when the final girl is sedated and hallucinating....
