Muted that singing contest. Glad some of you love it but it’s not for me.

I only just realised the song Mon Montha raves to in Andor S2 is the song playing in the brothel in the first ep of S1. Yes I started a rewatch.

I might need to start a complete Andor rewatch to fill the Andor shaped hole in my life.

I’d love to know what the physical locations for much of Corusant on Andor were. Bits look like Canary Wharf but others… no idea.

This may be more a q for the Thunderbolts spoiler pod but - Ghost says she’s struggled to stay phased for more than 1 minute. But in Ant-Man & the Wasp her problem was she couldn’t stay SOLID. Did they get her power mixed up? Or am I missing something?

Other lists in the credits are alphabetical by surname (you know, the normal way). It’s odd.

Weird thing but I just noticed the Thunderbolts* credits are listed alphabetically by first name - huh? I don’t mean the cast but the long list of VFX etc.

Thunderbolts* is good fun. A very solid, mid-tier MCU film that'll be a good rewatch. My only complaint would be the FX in one of the fight scenes, and the continued use of Bucky for comedy - just let him be the moody ex-assassin please. Also his hair is bad, bring back full Winter Soldier hair.

All I read was “booby”, “wild whip” and “Nazi” which paints an odd picture of you.

Now you need to go to London and see the stage play before Season 5 starts.

Okay The Well is great Doctor Who! Just what I wanted. More please.

I remember thinking at the time that Black Widow was a bit of a low bar for Marvel. But it’s a lot better than much of what came after.

You know what I would have loved, in the lead up to Thunderbolts*? A cinema screening of Black Widow. The only MCU I didn’t see on the big screen thanks to Covid.

Very underrated film.

Agreed. Quite a gear shift from the rest of the series but now I feel like I understand where we are heading.

Even this is confusing but a lot clearer than the version in the show. So much jargon it does my head in. But I'll give S3 another shot now. Thanks for this. I didn't remember any of the new characters from S2 tbh.

I’m obsessed with the office set in The Studio. Stunning.

Rereading Rama II for the first time in about 30 years. It’s a lot pulpier than I remembered.

Excalibur print coming?

Ditto. Rings of Power is much easier to follow.

I got ten minutes in and didn’t remember half the characters or have a clue what was happening. So I bailed and went back to rewatching Legion (which is prob equally as confusing tbh)

Tried to watch the third season of Wheel of Time and that recap was the most confusing word-salad I've seen in ages. I watched the first two seasons (didn't remember a great deal TBH) and it kinda made me give up. The writing assumed a great deal of knowledge. For fans only I guess.

I love my Doctor Who blu rays. But I do wish they’d stop wasting time & money shooting amateur dramatics for the trailers and docos and just got more blu rays out.

Rewatching Ant-Man & the Wasp (the best Ant-Man film) and you can see what was missing from Quantumania. The whole Honey I Shrunk the Kids fun element. It only works when we’re seeing familiar things at giant size etc.

So it's a ****ing Transformers movie? Just a teaser so I still have hope, but I still think bringing it into "the real world" kinda misses the fun of Tron for me. Like when Jurassic Park let the dinosaurs out of the park... you lose the imagination because you're faced with reality.

You kill a lot of people for that townhouse

On the other side, I saw Black Bag last night and loved it - very stylish thriller. For the first time in ages I wanted a movie to be LONGER!

Woke up early so spent the morning researching my UK pension and how much I need to top it up to max it out. With the AUS/UK exchange rate pretty dismal right now that wasn't fun.

Finally caught up with Severance. Glad the plot got back on track. All the intriguing side episodes were feeling a bit slow.
