I'm reading books not on my TBR and I'm not feeling bad about it because I noticed that sticking religiously to my reading list creates a slump.

WILDWOODS is stop motion??? It looks so smooth!

"Although I write science fiction, I am primarily in the business of predicting the future." —Jerry Pournelle. Awesome quote if you ignore the next sentence where he backtracks.

I had this dream that Pluto got obliterated and was actually a sort of clutter of an astroid belt from the very start.

These 007 tracks!

A favorite character type of mine are blind characters who don't act like they are blind.

Hyottoko mask or great helm?

I need a spiderman 2 second act moment in my life.

I don't believe in the connection between Robert Pattinson in Twilight and the use of "we live in a twilight world" from Tenet.

On the Nature of Daylight is not a score that's exclusively for sad scenes o.

Shrek coming in between was a palate cleanser.

But is it really gatekeeping if the restaurant actually blew up after I stepped out of it?

Inky, Blinky, Pinky & Hyde.

Yesterday I watched a film and soon after found myself pouring my thoughts on it into a notebook. I rewrote it a few times in my laptop until it became the film review that it now is. Behind The Scenes, directed by Funke Akindele & Tunde Olaoye, as reviewed by me, is linked in comments:

One of the greatest sins in Nollywood films is on-the-nose-dialogue. (Yes, I watched a Nigerian film again).

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli.

Somebody saw the Long Walk(2025) film and decided to warn us all not to let Mr. Beast see it.

I mean, if Sir Isaac Newton didn't have homework, would we even have gravity?

Seeing Carol (from Pluribus) hold a copy of The Left Hand of Darkness made me pissed off (for the umpteenth time) at the atrocious distribution system and unavailability of notable literature in Nigeria.

Manousos Oviedo is the dumbest of the 13.

After trimming the toenails, it feels like the feet received an update.

Three episodes watched. Not bad.

E pluribus unum, or "out of many, one", struck me as a chosen one thing, and not the unity of many people thing.

Does it really work like that in real life, generally, where someone vomits after seeing or hearing something that makes them deeply uncomfortable? I see it a lot in Hollywood films and can't help but roll my eyes. Aren't there other (better) ways to signal discomfort?

Just started Pluribus.

See, right now I just need enough money to buy books, buy food, pay my bills, and gift my girlfriend. Is that too much to ask? For a job that can help with even half of these?

Did you know that there's a tunnel under ocean blvd (what a long title, del rey!). I thought it was blood, until I listened to the song for the first time and yeah, it's boulevard.

I don't believe in that 27% RT score on the MJ biopic.

It's interesting to me that I taught myself how to spell Schwarzenegger when I was a child reading from the disk jacket Arnold's full name, as well as his film collections printed on the other side of the jacket. I did not and do not like to pronounce words I cannot spell.

No female Michael Angelos, no female Jack the Rippers.

The bittersweet taste of identifying as a country that celebrates independence.

I'm struggling a bit to finish Memories of Murder.

It's annoying when you're watching a monster movie and the monster doesn't eat what it kills. Rather wasteful (sounds morbid, I know).

There is no leak in Baa Sing Se.

I have no desire to watch the leaked aang movie.

Beef is so good! (The show, not the food.) I would have commented on letterboxd, but they didn't have season 2 catalogued. The music works really, really well, especially with its timing. And there's Cailee Spaeny, my favorite young actress.

Shout out to all drivers who avoid splashes while driving in puddles, in consideration of passersby.

"But how will you die when your time comes, Narcissus, since you have no mother? Without a mother, one cannot love. Without a mother, one cannot die." - Hesse (Alien 3 screenplay by John Fasano)

I will begin with Amy Winehouse's album, Frank.

I don't believe I have seen a horseshoe magnet (or horseshoe) outside of Tom & Jerry or textbooks.

Why is the world taking the wrong lessons from black mirror episodes?

I think the captcha "are you a robot test" is part of the early development of the Voight-Kampff machine.

Just watched Under the Red Hood and I will say that Batman is idealistic to a fault.

Silksong is addictive. To me. I deleted the game about 30 minutes ago and uploaded the save file to the cloud prior to that. I will return in two months or more after I finish this last bit of university.

Seeing discussion elsewhere about whether The Rich should be able to access public services for free even tho they're rich, and like, why are we so focused on whether people "deserve" things?

Stories about going back in time to eliminate Adolph Hitler have been around since the 1940s; here are five takes on the premise, exploring different aspects of the ethical and temporal questions involved with such a mission... reactormag.com/five-time-tr...

Is the respawn invincibility window how game developers compensate for the hero hit damage upon colliding with enemy upon which the enemy is exempt from?

"Grammar is squishy, alive and changing." —Ann Leckie (2026)
