Playing Doom Eternal and Doom: The Dark Ages back to back shows a pretty stark difference. Eternal seems to be constantly finding the most annoying thing for an enemy to do. Dark Ages just always wants the player to be doing the coolest possible thing. One of these games is great.

This is ~98% complete. There’s one cupboard left to check. I’ve seen 43% of these movies which is honestly better than I expected.
Won’t be buying any more duplicates, and now I have a good idea what’s on the shelf that I still need to check out.

So this is why I’ve spent most of my weekend starting to put together a list of every single movie I own. This wasn’t even the only duplicate in last week’s order!

Delivered a few minutes ago. Looks like it went under a lawnmower on the way here.

Two of my last three parcels have, separately, by different companies, on different days, been delivered to the wrong house. How does this happen twice in a week?
Weirdly it was two volumes of the same comic book.

I hadn’t realised I was coming up to 4,000 logged on Letterboxd. It doesn’t make sense to me that around two thirds of the films I’ve ever seen have been since I graduated from university. That honestly still feels pretty recent. But that’s about when I started logging them, so I guess it’s right.

Drove 5+ hours each way this weekend to see this year’s Palme winner It Was Just an Accident in Tamworth and, honestly? Worth it. Best thing I’ve seen all year. My nephew came along to his first ever festival session and also enjoyed it.

Delivered today. Backed on Kickstarter, but I hadn’t realised it was done and ready to ship! I really loved Trust, and really need to dig deeper into his films.

Enough people said they wanted to see the final slide deck, so I took the time to put it on my non-teacher github so I could share it. I didn't end up getting in trouble. I ended up being encouraged by a colleague to share it with my dept chair, and he liked it

This one hurts. After loving his shows for many years, I met David Stratton through his classes in Sydney. The very first night I nervously spoke to him. He realised we lived near each other and immediately offered me a ride home. This grew into a cherished friendship. 1/x

The time between me learning about Radiance’s upcoming Nagisa Oshima boxset and me ordering it was about 40 seconds.

There are too many movies I want to see opening here this weekend and I decided the only sensible thing to do was to see all of them at once. For some reason my 18yo nephew has agreed to come along. Wish him luck!

Estimated delivery on my Switch 2 stuff looks like tomorrow. I knew when ordering I wasn’t likely to get it launch day. Pro controller shipped later so might be Tuesday with the public holiday coming. Close enough!

There’s a moment in Richard Ayoade’s film The Double where an alarm goes off unexpectedly and I literally laughed so hard I blacked out. I woke up and it took about a minute to realise I was still in the cinema.

Pretty stoked about there being a new Oliver Laxe film in the Cannes Competition! Loved Mimosas and Fire Will Come. Kelly Reichardt, too!

Well, I bought the new thing. Seems like I had absolutely no problem getting a Switch 2 for launch. That new Mario Kart game looks great, and I actively dislike Mario Kart. Donkey Kong shortly after launch looks good too.
