Didn’t take part in the 31 days of horror #Shocktober challenge last month, but still managed a few Halloween horrors amongst my monthly total of 22 films watched. 197 viewed so far this year. Aiming for a modest target of 250 total for 2025 now… #FilmSky

After watching The Conjuring - Last Rites last night (which I thought was pretty decent), it dawned on me I never actually saw the last Annabelle spin-off film, from the same franchise. So better make amends I suppose… #NowWatching Annabelle Comes Home (2019). #Horror #Halloween #Annabelle #FilmSky

My Amazon Prime ‘Watchlist’ is getting a bit out of hand, so I suppose I better start watching a few titles I’ve added to it, starting with this “Frightfest presents” offering… #NowWatching The Farm (2018) #FilmSky #Horror #FrightFest

Well, that was abysmal. I chuckled maybe twice, cringed multiple times, struggled to make it to the end (& it’s less than 90mins!). One of the worst remakes I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen the remake of Get Carter!!! #TheNakedGun #FilmSky

I had an operation earlier this week which included a Rigid Cystoscopy (seriously DON’T Google it!) but I actually think I would rather have another one of those than listen to any more of Tool #backtothebeginning #MusicSky

I’ve finally made my way through the entire new Springsteen Tracks II box-set. 7 albums worth of “lost” material. I must admit as big a Boss fan as I am, there is a huge amount of absolute garbage on there. I’d struggle to compile a single album’s worth of songs which shouldn’t have remained “lost”.

Watching that incendiary Turnstile Glasto set & they’re such a melting pot of diverse styles & influences from all the best sources. I rattled off Bad Brains, Snapcase, Jane’s Addiction, RATM, Public Enemy, Fugazi, Shelter, 311, and even elements of Aphex Twin, ambient & funk in there. Incredible!
