Movie Log 🍿: Juno, 2007 - ★★★★
Up there with my favourite coming-of-age films I’d say. Absolute time capsule with its soundtrack, writing and style. Comes to a brilliant crescendo with the ending that might be the final boss of twee. Squirmed a lot when Jason Bateman was on …

Snakes for Dinner by Mastodon
New Mastodon song with Josh Homme is obviously very very cool

Movie Log 🍿: Black Swan, 2010 - ★★★★★
Wow. The constant white swan/black swan of her delusions are immense. Gripping and (I know I always say this but I really mean it here) unbelievable performance from Portman

Never Coming Back by A Place to Bury Strangers
More Green Man prep. This might clash with Cate Le Bon, which would leave me torn

A rather novel way of seeing yesterday’s eclipse. A disco ball reflecting near perfect crescents

I’ve been slogging away at my music website for some time now, and it’s very nearly ready. Some final bugs to work out with crossposting to micro.blog but the fundamentals are there! Will keep soldiering away until I’ve got it ready …

Movie Log 🍿: Ice Cream Man, 2026 - ★
What have I just watched? Here’s a stream of consciousness:
What qualifies as “story” is aping every horror film you’ve ever seen.
I laughed my head off at it the entire time.
The poor guy playing the ice cream man didn’t even get a line!
Gets a star …

Movie Log 🍿: Amores Perros, 2000 - ★★★★½
I love when a movie really just achieves feeling real. This is really raw, no holds barred storytelling and the result is that it’s gripping. The crossover moments between the characters are just the chef’s kiss. Terrific

Movie Log 🍿: Hoppers, 2026 - ★★★½
Very fun. I’m certain the alternative mayor would surely terrify the intended audience of this film but I loved it

Movie Log 🍿: Event Horizon, 1997 - ★★★½
Now this is cinema. Terrific sci-fi horror that’s really worshipping Alien. The soundtrack is excellent, the special effects are great.

Movie Log 🍿: The Odyssey, 2026 - ★★★★
My favourite Nolan movie is still Memento after all this. The Odyssey is non-stop, and certainly doesn’t feel like its runtime. Really well acted, casting perfect and definitely something that works on the big screen (The screaming in the cave was …
