I decided to throw on a bit of Fleetwood Mac's Rumours tonight in Blu-Ray Audio / Dolby Atmos format. I got this for Christmas last year, and you just CAN'T go wrong with owning the album however you can. I plan to revisit the Purple Rain BD Audio release soon, too.

Miniature musical instrument makers admit defeat as violin size requirement for story is declared "too small to build."

Once upon a time I thought there was no way an analog video tape could contain better quality footage than a digital video file. I was a fool. A naive fool.

Best thing about Christmas? All the biscuits and cheese.

It's not a Christmas film but we're watching one of my favourite Godzilla flicks... Godzilla Vs. King Ghidorah! It has everything!

May your pets be warm and snuggly on this day. I’m gonna stream some Splatterworld on my discord later!

I think Christmas is a good excuse to open one of the bottles of Dassai 39 that I brought back from Japan this summer. By far my favourite sake, and hideously overpriced in the UK.

This is what "performative reading" looks like.

The Black Hole (1979) “He said, ‘Would you like to meet with Peter Ellenshaw, our production designer and head of the matte department? He’s done some renderings of some of the spaceships and things like that,’” said Nelson. “I met with Peter, and he took me up to his office and showed me..."

Shopping for a new (Windows) computer as my 2013 desktop is on it's last legs. Always had desktops before but I've been impressed with my work laptop the last few years. Is PCSpecialist still the best place (UK) for desktops? Is it possible to buy a high end laptop any more without fucking Co-Pilot?

Had a look at these reels on a Steenbeck and they are a fascinating mix of off-cuts and b-roll from a variety of programmes including #DoctorWho. Due to the large variety of shots I'll share some pics over the coming days, in case anyone can help identify them.

damn @snazzylabs.com was right, this thing is SMALL and 100% worth the 40 euros i spent on it lol

This should replace the Nativity as something schools make kids reenact in a play every Christmas.

Florence: "I'm a present!"

Happy Gauda Prime day to all who celebrate.

The excellent MLBF YouTube channel has uploaded a collection of my favourite things; Jim Steinman meets J-Pop! www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qfu...

Just checked...Star Trek Nemesis is still shite.

BBC Film Cans We’ve received several messages asking us to provide more information on the dating of BBC film cans and labels, which were mentioned in a previous video.

A gentle reminder if you've received an invoice from a Freelancer/Self employed person which is due before Christmas. Be a love, and pay it today.

Ever since I started following @nanoraptor.danamania.com I'm never sure if things like this are real or not...

I've not been getting great sleep this week because Her Ladyship has suddenly decided that 3am bunny cuddles are a thing.

Thanks to @laserdiscturtle.bsky.social it was The Alan Parsons Project "I Robot" on this morning's walk

Yesterday was the 23rd anniversary of The Two Towers, and today The Fellowship of the Ring is 24 years old! What I call “my Star Wars” (I was too young for OG SW) is starting to get old. 😅

Okay what the actual fuck this actually looks hilarious youtu.be/ZfNLApPCa8E

Still exceptional 👏 boxd.it/c6ELCr

Happy holidays!

Train highlights from September

When you try to take a picture of your rabbit with the Christmas tree.

Me, reading online auction listings that claim the item is 'rare', 'original', 'an antique', 'in mint condition', 'a 1st pressing', 'a 1st edition,' 'definitely not a reproduction.' Them: 'Super-rare 1953 original' [Ask The Seller A Question] Me: 'Why is 'Reproduction 1991' printed at the bottom?'

Last night I finished reading "I Who Have Never Known Men" by Jacqueline Harpman. What an incredible book! Easily the best book I've read this year and given we're midway through December I doubt it's going to be dethroned. Highly recommend to everyone. Go in knowing as little as possible.
