Set up Plex to store my CD collection and got Plexamp up and running. Awesome to have FLACs on the go like this. I’m buying CDs like mad at the moment.. probably going to need an old school CD rack soon 💿🎵

Movie Log 🍿: Twisters, 2024 - ★★★★

Full of drama, super intense and a lot of fun. I spent literally every tornado scene searching for a cow. Cinema was packed. Is this the film of the summer?

Movie Log 🍿: Longlegs, 2024 - ★★★

No better than three. A shame because I was very excited for this one. Felt like it should’ve been an 18 with more gore. Definitely had the looks on its side, this was a delightfully shot movie

Movie Log 🍿: Triangle of Sadness, 2022 - ★★★★

Three very distinct acts make this really fun. Loved the whole movie. Was expecting cannibalism, I’ve gotta say

Unlocked a whole new set of fears for my cat

Spent the week on a farm. Two horrible bus journeys, horrendously heavy bags and red hot sun. Worth it all ten times over ✌️

Movie Log 🍿: The Matrix, 1999 - ★★★★★

Everything about this film is spot on. All the way down to the closing credits. Special effects completely hold up. Excellent film

Movie Log 🍿: Source Code, 2011 - ★★★

It’s a bit all over the place but I enjoyed it. Groundhog Day in the multiverse
