boxd.it/sTj40 I've got your Christopher Nolan hot takes right here - spoilers, I was really underwhelmed by Inception but other than that I kinda think he's neat.

Just been sent a work email which begins: "We are aware of the very large number of bees swarming around the building entrance"

It's my cats' 8th birthday today and so I'm taking a day to fuss them even more than usual and get them special food for being special little guys.

My review of Greenland 2: Migration (2026) - Have you ever had a film where you just wish the main characters would die so the film will stop?

Alternative title for "Lee Cronin's The Mummy" - "Lee Cronin's poor script and story, which manages to be both inconsistently stupid and really really boring" 1 star

The dawning realisation hit me tonight that my future may very well be to become emperor pope king of a religious order attempting to reign over an entire kingdom in the midst of a civil uprising. At the start of this game I was a fisherman.

Stop all the presses. My Norway holiday may now involve a seal encounter!!

I've reached the threshold where I own more than 50% of country flags (and so obviously I will need to buy the rest to complete the set) A friend has just raised the salient question "Andy, what are we supposed to do with all the flags after you die?" and I'll be honest I have no answer!

Make rocket go now.

Leonardo da Vinci, Luciano Pavarotti, Giorgio Armani, Galileo, Silvio Berlusconi, Maneskin, Mario Mario, Julius Caesar, Monica Bellucci. Can you hear me Monica Bellucci? Your boys took one hell of a beating!

It turns out ChatGPT is actually Conner4Real.

My brain having to do the double correction here of learning he was a real person and not fictional, and then also remembering that he was a human and not a dog. Next thing you'll tell me Willy Fog was real, and not a lion.

"I'm watching that Kevin Costner baseball movie." "Oh, I love Field of Dreams!" "No, that other Costner baseball movie." "Wow, I haven't thought about Bull Durham for a while." "No, that other other Costner baseball movie." "🤷🏼‍♂️" "The one directed by the guy who made the Evil Dead."

My 9 Games

Hoppers is so very very good. Pixar still has the ability to take something ridiculous and turn it into gold. Possibly seemed even better because I went in with fairly low expectations, only to then end up crying about a sad beaver and laughing so much about [redacted] being carried by seagulls.

This is now a Pombon fan account.

It's payday. A rare hopeful thing happened in UK politics. It's Pokémon day (the 30th anniversary) And a new Resident Evil is winging its way to my letterbox as we speak. 2026 has been pretty shit so far, but apparently it's trying to cram all the good stuff into a 24 hour period.

Discover the name of the Labour MP nobody has heard of who's about to be installed as third favourite with the bookies to be the next Prime Minister by taking the name of your first pet and adding it to the last job you applied for but didn't get. Lucy Trainer

Not exactly where I would think of myself as being if I'm totally honest.🤷🏼

I don't get to say this very often, but I just finished the Expendables 4, and honestly Jason Statham is too good for this shit.

There should be a word for when I'm trying to complete one film list on Letterboxd and get distracted by something that leads me into finding out I'm only four films away from logging all Stephen Sommers movies. I mean obviously I have to find and watch all four of these now don't I?

Fuck this planet.

Does anyone think Kevin Bacon and Alison Brie would work well together?

Also this.

And, in answer to the question, what's this year's random film that will forever now be able to tout itself as Oscar nominated, akin to Bad Grandpa, Norbit, Young Guns 2 and Mannequin? I give you, The Lost Bus.

Sure, that's some tasty battles in Best Director, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor. But we all know it's the Best Original Song category where everything really kicks off.

Has he considered an Avatar film where Ice Cube has to stop the blue aliens invading but without leaving his office and webcam? It'll cost peanuts and if you get Amazon to do product placement it'll probably make a profit before a single ticket is sold!

You gotta have Triples of Warrington.

It's the end of 2025 - so a quick glance at what was great this year, in terms of films. Top 5: 1 One Battle After Another 2 Flow 3 Weapons 4 Friendship 5 Wake Up Dead Man With honourable mentions for We Live In Time, Eddington, A Real Pain, Sinners, Superman & The Naked Gun

It's the end of 2025 - so a quick glance at what was great this year, in terms of TV shows. Top 5: 1 Andor 2 The Rehearsal 3 Severance 4 Dying for Sex 5 Silo With honourable mentions for Pluribus, Poker Face, The Chair Company, Alien: Earth, The Residence & Film Club

What's it called where you're sexually attracted to Rob Delaney and only Rob Delaney? Asking for a friend.

But now, I'm going to watch War of the Worlds.

So every year between Christmas and New Year I do a bad movie day. I try and catch all the worst rated things to have been released that year that I've not already seen. I'm 5 films deep into a 6 film run, and these are the results so far.

I'm watching Hurry Up Tomorrow.

I'm biased, I know that. But to me, it's just perfect. Die Hard is 5 stars and number 1 on my list of Christmas films. Here's to the 2026 watch in a year's time!

Al Powell puts a gun in his hands again for the first time and immediately murders another person. He really needs to be stopped.

Annual reminder, Kristoff doesn't die there. When all this is done, him and Theo are going to prison for a long time.

He is an exceptional thief!

Best line delivery in the whole film

Schieß dem fenster!

Bill Clay is probably my pseudonym of choice. It's just above Glen Mothman and Wet Feet Pete.

Ellis and his coked up shit eating grin is officially the beginning of the third act and everything ramping up to the finale.

Up to this point Argyle still thinks he's going to have to drive John to another location. So the fact he's already onto his second whisky is hilariously unprofessional.

People (including me obviously) love the Beethoven's 9th motif, but not enough is made of how good the rest of Michael Kamen's score is for the film.

Al Powell is a child murderer.
