I didn't notice. I would have watched that, although even at the time I was a bit disappointed in it. I think perhaps I had too high expectations because of the two stars, both usually brilliant.

Chevy Chase just makes me laugh every time I look at him in those films. "Vacation" was about the funniest film I'd ever seen at the time but I've not seen it for 20 odd years now. I wonder whether it's a bit dated now.

You always need to make sure the sun's not behind you & casting your own shadow when taking a photograph. Bit of an amateurish era from the lads there. Quite surprising when you consider how much care & attention they give to every single note on their albums.

You'll have to ask your mum to change it for you.

He's probably a bit too 70's/80's for a modern audience. That's more my era so my favourite xmas film should be from then. What about "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation"? Not as good as vacation but still made me laugh a bit.

"Love Actually" makes me want to vomit. 🤮
It probably says a lot about the sort of people who use Facebook 😆

I just released my first ever non-album single! This is only because the bastards deleted my album for unsolicited "bot-plays" so I'm just going to re-release a few of the tracks separately.

I can't think of any Prime Ministers who's children even entered politics, although there's probably a few. Our PM's have a pretty rotten time to be honest and could mostly earn far more money doing something different, so probably dissuade their children from doing the same!

John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, George W. Bush...
Why don't British politicians have middle initials? Keir J. Starmer makes him sound much more interesting.

Just going to have a quick look at Instagr... I'm bored already.

If the government does need to raise taxes I think they should only be for people who aren't me.

I was disappointed by that album at first because I thought the first was better. But now I think that one's the better. Brilliant band!

I suppose intergalactic wars also have to have their rules & etiquette. Shooting someone with a laser gun that they couldn't hear would be somewhat "ungentlemanly".

She Stole my Heart, by matarison from the album originalMusic

Looks & sounds great! This is exactly what's being lost with all the over-processed AI perfect modern music & images. DIY sounds are far more interesting!
My album's only on Bandcamp because the tossers at Spotify removed it (unsolicited Bot-plays!).

3D rendering has become 100x more realistic since then, but I quite like that it looks unnatural & a bit cheap. And it's a lot more satisfying than just typing prompts into a computer to generate AI artwork!!!

I made the artwork for my latest release over 20 years ago (when I wrote the song). At work (when no one was looking) I made a 3D model of some basement shelves, then added glass jars, human brains & hearts, and finally rendered it in lurid colours.

I would imagine laser guns would be silent too. No "peeow" noises.

A lot of musicians seem to use AI generated artwork for their releases, some of whom probably wouldn't dream of using AI for their music.
I suppose it's no different from a graphic artist using AI generated music for a reel showing their artwork 🤔

Spotify & my distributor Routenote deleted my last album for unsolicited "bot plays", so I've changed distributor & will release a few tracks individually.
Here's a link to the first, in case anyone feels generous enough to give me a pre-save.

The term "light sabre" is also etymologically incorrect. A sabre has a curved blade & light always travels in straight line, so of all bladed weapons sabre is perhaps the least suitable. I can't help thinking that if they paid more attention to details like this the film would have been more popular

Most trees that you see now are actually disguised mobile phone transmitters.

I'm the new king of easy listening on Amazing Radio!

All they did for me in 2025 is take my album down for unsolicited bot plays. But I doubt they mention that in my "Wrapped for Artists".

I've been a miserable old man since I was about 22.

I just wrote to the council complaining about the constant roadworks & closures around Canterbury. It felt good! I've decided I'm going to be one of those annoying old people who spend all their time writing letters of complaint about stuff.

Does anyone want to see this? I know I don't.

I remember seeing that on VHS back in the 80's & thinking it was really good. But then I watched it again a few years ago & found it pretty rubbish. The first film I still think looks great though.
