UK. Mostly here for film chat. Because trashy movies are always fun.
I care about accessibility, so no 'Likes' on posts with no image Alt text.

- Friday nights are for watching 2.5hr Korean movies that you know nothing about other than a) it's apparently good, and b) I shouldn't read up about it before watching it. So I'm doing that.
- How can you get a snakebite at a job interview?
- One of the best places to listen to music is when you're sat on a train for an hour or so with decent headphones and nothing else you need to be doing. Which is what I'm doing right now, with possibly my favourite album of 2025.
- Damn I loved that D&D movie 'Honor Among Thieves'. I was one who actually went to the cinema to see it too, so I can't even be blamed for not giving it a try.
- Damn, I loved every single second of this. All recorded into the one mic? Everyone with smiles on their faces as they rattle through this performance. And they make it all look effortless too. Bluegrass is great too. Just such happy music. It's impossible to play the blues if you're on a banjo.
- This could be the greatest drug cheating story of all time.
- Looking for some light-hearted documentary viewing tonight. Probably going to give this one a miss...
- A solid entry into the 'look how many famous people are in this movie' genre of movie poster. Looking forward to this one. No idea how a sequel to the first could work, but I'm interested to find out. Mostly because Samara is back for it.
- Watched this tonight. I loved it. Didn't know it was a Stephen King story until his name appeared in the closing credits and I went "well of course it's a King story" boxd.it/cZww7n
- We keep trying to make things like this work in the UK, and we keep failing. But I'll hope for the best, and if things go well it means we have some much needed new comedy faces on our TV, which is a good thing. I just pray it's actually funny and not just SNL funny (i.e. 1 hit to every 20 misses)
- I've had a few decades existing in the world, but still can’t tell where "West" is without a struggle. Every time I have to pause a few seconds, picture a compass in front of me and say "North, East, South, West" to myself. I even physically point to the imaginary nodes on this compass. Every time.
- Will it ever be instinctive? I don't do that with a clock to work out when it's quarter to nine. I know which way is Left and Right too. Can I train myself to just know this too? Like a cowboy who says 'let's head west' and just goes that way without having to get his fingers out to work it out.
- Anyway, I'm still playing Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 (which has a map and compass). It's a very fun game. I finally found my dog. And my horse.
- It's an old clip, but I just saw it again and it made me smile. Alec Guinness talking about how he got the extra 0.25% (or was it 0.5%) on top of his 2% Star Wars deal. Turned out pretty well for him.
