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
How’d I get to 30 and not hear Mezcal Head by Swervedriver? Man this album is excellent
Spent some time yesterday modding a Game Boy Advance I bought on eBay. Turns out when I played the original one I realised where my bad eyesight came from.. new screen is so bright!
Just submitted a micro.blog search !bang to DuckDuckGo. If approved, should speed up my searching!
Movie Log 🍿: Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, 2024 - ★★★★
Good action and good storytelling. I enjoyed it a lot. Definitely rewatching this at some point
Movie Log 🍿: I, Robot, 2004 - ★★★★
Love how completely unnecessary Shia LaBeouf’s character is in this movie
Movie Log 🍿: The Fall Guy, 2024 - ★★★
I thought this was a pretty fun popcorn movie. References galore and some snazzy expensive looking stunts
Having a dance-punk moment. Radio 4 and Le Tigre and nothing more today 🎵
We were all this cat in the sweltering heat this past weekend
Finished reading Leviathan Falls yesterday. Honestly feel a little sad to get to the end of the series, I’ve been reading these for a while. On the plus side, I can watch the TV show now.
I think the benefits of the Fediverse and in particular the concept of POSSE have clicked in the past few days. I’m going to dig into it some more and really try and work it out. One thing’s for sure - micro.blog is the best source …
Spent a few days in Dublin drinking copious amounts of the good stuff. The city feels quite similar to home at times, and at others it’ll feel very much like Europe. Won’t be the last time I’m here!
Just been for a very cold dip in the Irish Sea t.co/3GRs8frNk…
Movie Log 🍿: Jaws, 1975 - ★★★★★
That zoom onto Scheider when he realises it’s a shark is perfection. Everything about this is perfection
Movie Log 🍿: Red Eye, 2005 - ★★★
Under 90 mins ✅
Scarf around a wound so you don’t have to pay for special effects ✅
Presumably funded by an obsolete technology company ✅
This film has it all
Movie Log 🍿: Chalet Girl, 2011 - ★★
Sega will redesign half of Crazy Taxi to take out a Pizza Hut and these guys won’t even dub a new song over Lostprophets?
Drank a really enjoyable few pints of this after work yesterday. I’m going to pretend that I could tell the ‘oak cask difference’ 🍺
The camera on the iPhone 15 Pro is outstanding. Snapped this outside the pub last night
Movie Log 🍿: Erin Brockovich, 2000 - ★★★★
You throw a shot driving through the desert in a movie and I’m going to stay invested. This film rocked
Movie Log 🍿: The Day After Tomorrow, 2004 - ★★★
I remember the CGI looking an awful lot better than this
Another weekend well spent in the French Alps. Have my legs ever been this tired?
I’ve only gone and cracked it. an IFTTT-free solution for getting new reviews from my Letterboxd account onto my blog. Could be the start of something good 👍🏻
Movie Log 🍿: Dune: Part Two, 2024 - ★★★★
Well all that build up in the first film wasn’t for nothing. Watched in IMAX and was blown away by the soundscaping in this film
