Ben

same here my man, hope to keep the tradition alive and well for ages! 🙌

And of course credit to my fellow March birthday friend @brazybenjamin.bsky.social for helping me put it all together, I simply wouldn't have it any other way🙏

Turned 29 this weekend, so as is customary, I programmed a 24 hour marathon of schlock for myself and all of my friends to become completely delirious over. It ruled, and I love movies.

@blondekwaidan.bsky.social happy birthday!!

Update on my Monster Hunter Wilds experience: I reached High Rank, I caught a giant squid, I ate many delicious-looking meals, and I have had so much fun. The grind is only just beginning, too! 😭😂

I am loving Monster Hunter Wilds! World was my introduction to the series, and it could not have been better, instantly becoming one of my favorite games ever. Wilds, with its extraordinary environments and engaging monster battles (plus many quality of life improvements), may be even better!

GUSHING PRAYER is our first entry into the pink film realm (we hope to do more) and it’s a very heavy hitter. 2K scan from the original camera negative and a solid amount of extra features.

Arrow's Toei V-cinema box set is here! Been working on this for much of the past months, producing all the interviews and making my visual essay. I originally recommended these nine titles and am very glad Arrow picked them all up. Good times ahead!

My ★★★★ review of Tokyo Sonata on Letterboxd boxd.it/8gwhLv

#japanuary

Going to start a thread of everything I watch for Japanuary this year - kicked things off with Noboru Nakamura's The Shape of Night, a sumptuous vision of colorful nightlife neon that hides destructive patriarchal power structures beneath the vibrant surface. A brilliant and gorgeous film.

I love Harry Wilson so much. Been a man possessed this season!

Time for us to beat Bournemouth today! #COYW 🤍

Excited for you to be taking part and to see your thoughts on these movies!

Japanuary 2025 Challenge guidelines Giving this a shot this year.

Think I've got the bandwidth now to do a monthly challenge on Letterboxd, so I'm gonna give Japanuary a run. Excited to check these films out, thanks for putting the challenge together @brazybenjamin.bsky.social! boxd.it/Buimy

Japanuary Challenge 2025 🇯🇵 Welcome, friends, to the fifth annual Japanuary Challenge on Letterboxd! What started as an initiative to celebrate Japanese cinema has blossomed into a cherished tradition for film enthusiasts worldw...

The Japanuary 2025 Challenge list is up on @letterboxd.social :) I am so excited to celebrate Japanese cinema with you all again! boxd.it/BumhM

We are playing fantastic so far. Whole team looks up for it! Diop, Berge, and Robinson standouts so far to me. Also, Berge and Lukic together in the midfield is SO nice. Let’s get another goal and win this match!

Fulham back in the top six too. Some tricky fixtures to come but underlines the excellent job Marco Silva is doing. Some key departures in summer, right through the spine of the team (Palhinha, Willian, Tosin, Ream) but #FFC replaced them well and kicked on. Deserves more plaudits

Iwobi has been exceptional this season. Incredibly consistent, filling the 'Willian' creativity void for the most part but across midfield. He's got eight goals/assists this season, already one more than last year. He's stepped up for #FFC.

I love Fulham Football Club so much!!! We have a great squad and the vibes are through the roof. Excellent performances from Iwobi and the whole back line. Thought Muniz had some excellent holdup play, and so nice to see King get minutes. Sad about Nelson, but fingers crossed nothing too serious!

Of course! 👋

I should clarify… I don’t care for genres being presented like this 😭

Spotify Wrapped was bland this year… I’m disappointed by their choice not to feature top genres and whatnot. Chill Select being #1 due to listening to lo-fi beats while taking my comprehensive exams at the end of September is kind of disappointing too lol

So many beautiful and soul-touching tracks on there! I’m really happy I could get it to a great friend and a person who’d appreciate it!
