This was lovely

Oh for fuck's sake

So Begin Again is really lovely. Warm, witty, and wondrous, a nice little escapist dramedy. Great cast, damn good music.

New blu

Sorcerer Supreme

Lunch

Apparently they're jumping straight to the fifth book for this adaptation. I get skipping one and two, but the third? Boo.

"Hey Sean Bean, would you like to create a sign for us?"

And directed by Jim Mickle of all people. What an oddity this movie is, and it's not even out yet.

Carlos is an expert

Goblins are saying the quiet part out loud.

Tim Doyle a famous Marvel artist is making some of the most Metal Anti-ICE art right now! Ghost Rider, Wolverine and the Punisher taking ICE out!

letterboxd.com/themarckoguy... Took a little break from the film fest stuff to watch Wait Until Dark, and I had a great time.

Calle Málaga is lovely. A warm, tender, funny, and at times somber look at hope, aging, and rekindling one's personal spark. Carmen Maura is superb, delivering a wonderful performance that is nothing short of magical.

Toy store across the street from my job are having a clearance sale, so got me some treats after my shift ended last night.

Not perfect, but it's probably the cleanest run I've had at the Let it Be solo, and damn it, I feel proud about my progress.

Megadeth's new (and allegedly final) album is here, and it's... alright. Nothing outright bad on here, but it also plays it was too safe to really pop, with even the familiar elements feeling a little watered down. A passable metal album.

It has begun...

Post-cinema chai, because it's cold as fuck out there

Kicking off 2026's cinema visits with Park Chan-wook's latest!

Bone Temple's being given shitty showtimes, because of course it is.

You never realize how weird a piece of music is until you look at the notation. There's this sixteenth rest in the Let It Be solo that feels so awkward to try and implement. In the actual song it sounds right, but when I practice my brain goes blrrrt.

Season 3 of Primal is off to a suitably gross and fascinating start. Not 100% sold on the direction it's taking so far, but I'm hoping Genndy can prove me wrong.

Dolores Claiborne is really great, a haunting thriller exploring abuse, strained relationships, and the damage that secrets can cause. Interweaves the past and present to masterfully fill in the viewer while also creating tension around what is reality or not. Fantastic performances all around.

42 is a really engaging, if slightly pedestrian sports drama. Robust storytelling, solid direction, and great performances keep it watchable. Chadwick Boseman in particular shines in the lead, playing Robinson with a quietly simmering intensity that is beyond riveting.

I assume they’re all narrated by Brian Blessed.

Of course the wi-fi gives out when I need it

Had this shared with me this morning, and too good not to share with you. Courtesy of 'Peanutismint' on Instagram.

THAT'S WHAT I HAVE TO DO EVERY TIME, TED

Here's hoping every last one of you has a killer fucking weekend. Whether you're off or working, I truly hope you and your loved ones get the much deserved rest, relaxation, and recharging we all need right now.

Took a while, but I finally finished The Count of Monte Cristo. Dragged a little in parts, but overall it's terrific. Absolutely deserves its accolades and shining legacy. Tragic, epic, suspenseful, and poetic, I loved it.

Had the privilege of having Aksel Hennie himself (!) share my @nordicwatchlist.bsky.social review of Stayer over on Instagram 🤩 You can read my thoughts on the new #Viaplay series at the link 👇🏻 #TVSky #ScandiTV #AkselHennie nordicwatchlist.com/2026/01/14/s...

Kathleen Kennedy is able to finally achieve what many grown men have been unable to do: Move on from Star Wars

Sam Raimi’s AMA was great overall. Personally, this was my favourite response.

Blue paint and some rollers

The lads are in a spooky castle. Finally an episode concept I can get behind. #StarTrek #LikeZoinksSpock

... I make pretty decent cookies

The Fynches debut album is great, bringing 70s folk rock into the modern era with a swaggering confidence and the skill to back it up.

Just watched Ordinary People. Absolutely fantastic. Utterly devastating.
