Wow. Just wow. “Frankly, it’s tiring to look out at combat formations, or really any formation, and see fat troops,” he said. “Likewise, it’s completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon leading commands around the country and the world.” Hegseth […]

A fascinating interview (as a podcast) with Michael Kurinsky, who got his first time directing gig with Scoob: Holiday Haunt, a film that was cancelled so Warner Bros could claim back $42m in tax. The joy in his voice describing the project (Andre Braugher's last acting role), and then the […]

Well, I've stuck two games into my basket at the ol' Steam Sale. Rise of the Tomb Raider, as I just completed the first game in the reboot trilogy. (Since playing it in the PS3 days) Also, as I've completed Far Cry 5 ( & New Dawn), and a fair chunk of FC 4 & 6, I'm tempted by Far Cry Primal […]

Oh FFS! Not this again. He really has no idea how the film industry works. Donald Trump warns US will impose 100% tariff on 'all and any' films made outside America https://www.lbc.co.uk/article/donald-trump-tariff-films-outside-us-5HjdDf5_2/

Now that EA is part owned by Jared Kushner, do we have to hate it even more?

I did some writing the other night, for the first time in several months, and I suddenly noticed the Y key on my keyboard is slightly larger than all the rest. Now I'm battling with learning to ignore it or buy a complete key cap set to let my mind rest! 😁

Windows 11 oddness. When I run a program from my quick launch selection, it runs with a little box around the icon and the blob underneath. However, when I run Librewolf, it creates another instance. Hopefully the picture makes more sense. What am I doing […] [Original post on mastodon.me.uk]

Thank god he didn't have a brother called Wayne! (Sorry. 😂) Dwayne Johnson says playing Mark Kerr is the hardest thing he’s ever done. https://www.joblo.com/dwayne-johnson-mark-kerr/

I'm sorry, but no. I can see it's a special edition but I don't think any game is worth *checks notes* £259!

Ugh. Fake digital actors. Hollywood Wants To Sign Its First AI Star https://www.darkhorizons.com/hollywood-wants-to-sign-its-first-ai-star/

Genndy Tartakovsky, director and creator of Primal, Samurai Jack and Dexter's Laboratory 😻has leaked test footage of an unmade project (via IG). The Black Knight, set in the 14th century, is the story of a 20ft tall suit of armour, operated from within using an intricate system of ropes. The […]

On November 15th, 2025, I will be performing at the Circuits in the Woods electronic music festival in Brattleboro Vermont. It's an absolutely banging line-up of workshops and performances, spread across 3 venues in scenic Southern Vermont. Brattleboro is close to the the Mass border and less […]

Ooh. I'm liking this news, and I quote, Edge of Tomorrow 2 The newest issue of Production Weekly suggests the “Edge of Tomorrow” sequel is targeting a late 2026 shoot with Cruise and Emily Blunt set to return. Director Doug Liman himself confirmed that he and Cruise have been revisiting the […]

#nowwatching Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (2025) A rare evening to myself as I'm in a hotel. Let's see how the Mission: Impossible franchise is doing. Dead Reckoning let me down a little bit, I felt there was too much humour, but I'm willing to […] [Original post on mastodon.me.uk]

Judging by the picture in this article, It looks like this is the perfect film for him. 😁 WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre Joins The “Highlander” Reboot https://www.darkhorizons.com/drew-mcintyre-joins-the-highlander-reboot/

No idea if this is a mistake or a genuine discount, but Amazon France suddenly has Metroid Prime 2 on Switch 2 up for €55. It might be gone soon and if you grab this, don't expect to get it at launch day. It can take a couple extra days, or even weeks, knowing amazon preorders, but it's […]

I just watched the retrospective documentary on the 1993 Super Mario Bros film. Absolutely fascinating and well worth a watch. It seems like everything was going great until 10 days before the start of shooting, the studio supplied a new revised script. The film we all know and love (or hate) […]

I can feel the pain. One of the near completed films that was cancelled and written off by Warner Bros as a tax loss was The animated feature Scoob: Holiday Haunt. Warner Bros phoned the director FOUR hours after the trade press had reported the story! Ouch! The poor guy. I look forward to […]

Good morning you beautiful tooters!

Huh. I didn't even know this was a thing! “Watch Dogs” Film Is ‘Not The Game’ https://www.darkhorizons.com/watch-dogs-film-is-not-the-game/

Rick Moranis & Bill Pullman are just two of the confirmed returning cast members for Spaceballs 2 as this official photo from the script reading shows. Daphne Zuniga and George Wyner reprise their roles from the original film, as will Mel Brooks, whose […] [Original post on mastodon.me.uk]

Whatever you feel about these films, you can't deny that the CG work is definitely top-notch. Avatar: Fire and Ash (2nd Trailer) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNscUAcW_Bw

...annnnnnnnd its official. Yodel lost my parcel. It's nothing major, an £18 purchase from eBay, but it's the point, it's frustrating. This is why I get worried every time something is sent via them. It's not the first time this has happened, and I'm sure it […] [Original post on mastodon.me.uk]

Considering all the positive critical reviews (not the ones from angry Redditors) I'm surprised this hasn't been green lit yet. Noah says it may take a few months for them to make the decision. Alien: Earth hasn’t been renewed for season 2, but creator Noah Hawley is discussing the show’s […]

I wouldn't place any bets on the next Bond anytime soon. They're not casting until well into next year (Denis Villeneuve is busy filming Dune III) and they are looking for a fresh face, an unknown. Villeneuve Won’t Cast Bond Until Next Year […]

Playstation State of Play. Well, apart from Wolverine which didn't look too bad, that was a bit naff. I think the biggest surprise was that PSPlus members get Alan Wake 2 free next month. I'll look forward to that. On a side note, I think YouTube is battling the hackers again. My patched […]

The Alien: Earth we could've had... 😂

A small win? Apparently, Lionsgate catalogue of films isn't big enough for the AI to learn from. Allegedly, even the Disney catalogue isn't big enough for this task. Oh no, real people will have to come up with ideas for films. Awwww, sorry Lions gate. Lionsgate’s plan to use AI for films […]

Quick question, On steam, can you keep save games separate on different devices? I see there's an option to disable cloud saves. Does that just affect the device that has the option turned off. Basically, my son wants to play No Man's Sky on my PC, but I don't want him having access to my […]

RE: Alien: Earth - Season Finale. Aliens and Pearl Jam! Fuck yes! 🤘 A very good episode but not the best of the series, that goes to episode 5. What I thought might be the closing shot of the series didn't happen and it's teased for the following season. One question I do have and is inspired […]

#nowwatching Alien: Earth - season finale. Let's see where this ends up.... Excited.

So in the past 24 hours, Trump has claimed paracetamol gives you Autism, climate change is the biggest con job the world has ever seen and Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London, is bringing in Sharia law. Sigh. That must be several days worth of Trumpisms compressed into a single day. Can we get a […]

Interesting. All this talk of the Rapture is because it was foretold by a South African pastor, Joshua Mhlakela, who said he had a direct vision from Jesus Christ with a date of September 23rd or 24th. Was Jesus unsure, did he say, "Its one of those dates, just let me check with Dad." The […]

I guess thirty years is long enough for most people to have forgotten about things, and so you're justified in remaking them? Fox has ordered a 12 episode season of a Baywatch (first aired 1989) reboot. Also, a new version of The Hand That Rocks The Cradle (original released in 1992) hits Hulu […]

The White House now designates Antifa as a domestic terrorist organisation. I mean, look at this! It's angry fan fiction about something that doesn't exist. "Antifa is a militarist, anarchist enterprise that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government, law enforcement […]

Americans I am begging you to sort this out. Your mad racist uncle has shat himself in public again.

Something old and something new arrived today. #physicalmeda #bluray

Boring life update. My parcel with Yodel hasn't moved in 48 hours according to their tracker, so it's now under investigation. Typical.

A moral and topical dilemma from Reddit (via Redlib). A gay girl was accepted by her family except an aunt. She ridiculed her because of her strong Christian beliefs. The mother told her to back off several times. The aunt just invited the girl (19) to dinner. She believes so strongly in the […]

Another take on Robin Hood? Really? I was bored after the first minute of the trailer! 😁 ROBIN HOOD | Official Trailer (2025) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1wj6hdK_Oo

Ahh, Tylenol. Small, different, autistic. (I know it's the wrong brand (in the gif), but dammit it was funny when it popped into my head!)

I don't live in the nicest of places and so graffiti isn't uncommon. However, this statement I found in my local Asda lift today made me smile.

The first trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu (May 2026). Nothing spoilery, ninety seconds of Star Wars fun by the looks of it. Just prepare for the incoming influx of related 'merch' as the kids say. (For us oldies, that's an abbreviation of merchandise, OK.) 😆 […]

My parcel was dispatched from a Yodel depot Friday night. I'm hoping it's in the Monday morning limbo of updates. The fact it's being handled by Yodel already has me worried. It's not expensive but... Yodel. *Shudders*

Once again, the Reform party (sorry business), will say anything to please the uneducated racist masses without thinking about the consequences. Today, they're going to announce that they want to end ILR, indefinite leave to remain. Instead, migrants would have to renew their visa every five […]

If you fancy slowing down the pace a little, and you have an Amazon Prime account, grab Boxes: Lost Fragments for your Epic account. The description reads, "a 3D puzzle escape game in which you solve complex mechanical puzzles, discover hidden objects, and […] [Original post on mastodon.me.uk]

I've no idea why I'm on such a live action Super Mario Bros vibe right now, but here's something else for you guys. The Internet Archive is a bit of a mix of preserving/pirating I find but if you're interested, here is the hour long 2014 retrospective documentary, Super Mario Bros: This Ain't […]

I've just discovered my local council advertising a recycling scheme to save old electrical cables as they contain copper. This is my Mastodon community, you know what's coming... If any of us returned the box of cables we have stashed away, it's guaranteed […] [Original post on mastodon.me.uk]

I'm looking forward to quooting (isn't that the correct term?) occasionally but I guess not only do we all have to wait for the update, we have to wait for our favourite Mastodon apps to implement it as well.

I came across this today and for film nerds and Super Mario Bros fans (We're talking the 1993 live action version!) This was fascinating. It's a 14-minute feature on how they converted the workprint version of the film on VHS up to a 4K HDR copy. This version of the film was released as a […]
