First movie of the year. Ultimate βbroβ comedy. I donβt know what to do with my hands
Binged some more For All Mankind today. Watching on a new TV and having my mind blown by the quality. Happy New Year! π₯³

This movie drips 2006. The styles, the music, the aspect ratio. Immaculate

This film is incredible! It looks unbelievable in its remastered version. I am a huge fan of user interfaces in the future being so difficult you have to throw 30 unlabelled switches to achieve anything

Really quite the cast on this film. Colin Farrellβs character had me cracking up. Big Alβs Toy Barn energy
Been coming up with a list of improvements for my blog and things I’d like to add next year. Inspired by Apple’s new Journal app, I’m going to look at a snazzy way to blog about places that adds a nice map to the post. How hard can β¦

This film was a dud. It was bound to happen to Pixar eventually. Extra star for that water animation

Unexpectedly funny, dark and weird. Nick Cage runs away with this role. Definitely recommend watching

Found a jukebox with Rated R by QOTSA last night. Had to subject the entire pub to a bit of that! π΅
Went for Korean BBQ in Stockport last weekend. Just the ultimate kind of dinner! π₯

Lily Gladstone is unbelievable in this film. Leo is incredible in this film. Everyone is! You see the phrase βinstant classicβ thrown around a lot but this one really deserves it.

Going to have a crack at altering my theme here to be a grid. Tried that before with a few things and it always turns out to be a giant PITA. Here goes nothing!
