I watched IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE for the first time today after a very difficult week, an eyes-bigger-than-belly lunch and four drinks: fucked me *right* up.

Off to bed, gonna put my phone in a box for the next 24 hours. Have a lovely Christmas, pals x

Oh no I made the mistake of saying I enjoyed something on The Reheated Film Takes Site™️.

Rewatched STAR TREK ‘09. We gotta get JJ out of director jail, man.

Then: Star Wars The Force Unleashed Now: Audiosurf

If this is half as good as the IMAX prologue they showed before Avatar we are so very, very back youtu.be/Mzw2ttJD2qQ?...

A Christmas princess

Bob Hoskins in … The Long Christmas Day

Then: Super Meat Boy Now: WHEN HE TRIED TO MATCH THE STRANGER WITH THE BIG IRON ON HIS HIP (Fallout New Vegas)

Resigned myself to the fact I’ll need to go back on SSRIs to get through the first bit of 2026. Desperate to move out of this shithole flat for my mental health, but moving house always triggers a massive amount of trauma-related stress. Can’t win!!

Steam backlog/sale grabs looking real good for those long Winter nights

Then: Awesomenauts Now: Hotline Miami

At AVATAR last night the usual IMAX countdown was Mandalorian-themed. Guy next to us: “Oh god, they aren’t about to show that instead, are they?”

My review of AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH in IMAX is that the ODYSSEY prologue fucking rules.

A friend has sent me this photo from the website of the Sandringham Estate. That fireplace looks *remarkably* familiar, doesn't it? bsky.app/profile/jame...

[eerie chorus from 2001]

You know what they call AVATAR 3 in France?

Here we all are, the lads

David Walliams has been dropped by his publisher following an investigation by The Telegraph into inappropriate behaviour towards young women. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/12...

Off to see my good friend Jake Sully.

Then: Battleblock Theater Now: Papers, Please (I still have not played GTA V)

Someone is *delighted* that I have Friday off

Muttley’s pronouns are he/he/he/he/he/he/he/he/he

I spent that 20 minute walk home from the cinema to my student flat in almost complete shocked silence (to the bemusement and concern of my best friend). Killing Han and leaving Luke until the very end was so ballsy to my mind back then that I couldn’t even fathom that they’d pulled it off.

God I love it when Star Wars is populated by breathing, sweating, bleeding human beings 😭 what happened to the game I loved

Incredible moment at work drinks tonight where a relatively new colleague asked “Are you and your boyfriend up to much this Christmas?” I APPEAR FRUITY TO STRANGERS!! TOTAL CULTURAL VICTORY!!

Then: Borderlands The Pre-Sequel Now: Alien Isolation

"they don't know how to express the idea" here's rian johnson's storyboard for knives out pick up a pencil and a napkin

There are Goatses everywhere for those with eyes to see

Then: Powerwash Simulator Now: Citizen Sleeper

One day I’ll come to terms with being too young to have gone to Ibiza at the height of Amnesia like in KEVIN AND PERRY GO LARGE.

u at 21 He’s a BB-unit, orange and white, one of a kind

Daisy for fuck’s sake, why??!?

Was given a giftcard from work for Christmas and put it towards a proper dehumidifier. “The device will auto-detect the humidity and lower it to 55%RH”. Cool. Just turned it on in the back room where we’ve had myriad damp/mould issues in the past. Humidity detected at 95%RH 😶

Oh gee, I bloody wonder

One of those posts where your hand just reflexively starts to make a wanking motion in the air.

Fuck off. Fuck. Off. FUCK off. FUCK OFF. FUCK. OFF!

Carissa Codel if you read this I am free on Thursday

I need them to stop counting ‘sessions’ as ‘every time you launch a game’ because half of those are New Vegas or Helldivers crashing 😭

Well, then.

Glad it exists because it gave us Andor and is a solid movie on it's own terms, but IMO it is very much to blame for the 'ooh look, stuff from your dad's old toybox now in hi-def!' aesthetic philosophy of The Mandalorian and company.

Then (but forever in my heart) - Star Wars Squadrons Now - DOOM Eternal

A long time ago (10 years tonight) in a galaxy far, far away (Norwich)…

This made it into my Favourite TikToks of the Year video, which we screened on Sunday for a bunch of friends with some booze and pizza. Maybe I'll put it on YouTube sometime.

Sorry to boomer-post, but sitting down with a big contented sigh after finishing the post-gathering tidy up on a Sunday night is an almost unparalleled bliss.
