I can acknowledge this is a classic. Itβs got a mad soundtrack (thank you Mr Williams), it has a monkey they trained to do WHAT? and they pack in a Wilhelm scream.Β
What I didnβt really get was any real level of depth to any character. The plot was β¦
See Out Loud by Interpol
Brilliant new album. Theyβve smashed it

Some of this fell flat but it was moving in places. Loved the Hollywood turnaround of the weather, sickly sweet.
As Long As You're Moving by Hex Girlfriend
This one gets the head bopping!

Holy moly. You get red pilled by Tom Cruise and then given emotional battery. Iβm left feeling so sorry for Stanley!
What a way to establish the Fall Cinematic Universe (FCU) with an ending like that! This is basically identical to the first film with some of the dialogue being spot on. I am fairly sure thereβs a bit of AI slop (plane landing, quick pan of β¦
Top of the Bill by Gurriers
Obligatory Irish Music Compass reference. New album soon which Iβm looking forward to

In the pantheon of the greats. Johnβs little motorbike has 10,000 gears because every single shot of him riding it includes a gear change. The special effects are just terrific. Best viewed on a big old screen
Almost by Bowling for Soup
I rely on pop punk when running and this popped into my head today for the first time in years. Just so much fun!

Felt like this was missing something for me. Good film with some funny moments. Perhaps because my adrenaline levels were still through the roof from watching Fall before it.
Never have my palms been as sweaty as watching this. Loads of bad CGI and plenty of moments that they shouldβve turned around and simply not climbed the giant rusty tower. Despite that, I thought it was great and I cannot wait for the sequel next β¦
Hit the Coast by Future Islands
Hitting the coast for the week to read books and drink beer. Surprising amount of songs that work for this

Pomegranate lager on the beach letβs go. Probably a little heavy on the fruit but good alternative to a Radler
Finished reading: Foundation (Foundation, #1) by Isaac Asimov π
A very fast pace, which I wasnβt expecting. Been meaning to get into this series for years, so here goes!
Born 2 by Water From Your Eyes
Nice loud guitars for a Saturday morning

Tropical!
Madmen by Alien Chicks
Named after Dude Where's My Car? I wonder.

Lipgloss by Pulp
I love how bleak this is lyrically and just drops into a right little ripper of a solo. While we're all #PulpPosting

A homage to the mid 80s family movie. Nothing is explained or really happens after the main plot point is established but we do spend a lot of time trying to run away from dinosaurs.Β
The golden rule in this movie is that dinosaurs can destroy β¦
Never Gonna Be A Boxer by Knats
One of the unexpected hits of Green Man. Marvellous stuff, very very fun.

Up there with my favourite coming-of-age films Iβd 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 β¦
