No Time To Dan

Ah. Well. Maybe there's something on my list you'll like.

I agree. I can't think of a bad year.

Films of 2025 (UK Releases) A list of 146 films compiled on Letterboxd, including Black Bag (2025), Superman (2025), A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025), The Life of Chuck (2024) and Materialists (2025).

That's everything from 2025 that I've seen

No one talks about it. Not a word.

See, I loved Atomic Blonde.

I'd be VERY interested in that.

Because there's bound to be some I've missed.

That's why Ballerina should have been a slam dunk, it had the action, and an attractive lead who is fairly popular, and it flopped.

The mistake is, I guess, that what people like about John Wick, is John Wick, it's Keanu they like, not the action or the lighting or the style.

You'd love my Delicate books. That's literally all they are.

I really thought Ballerina would be one that would be big. But is it general audiences just saying they don't want female led action films?

Because I am definitely not the general audience in that case.

Girls are good. I'd much rather see women kicking, punching, shooing and stabbing. They deserve it.

Indeed. She should be front and centre for something.

I hate 3. I really do hate it.

Fallout is the best one overall for me, but I am also the person who's personal favourite is 2.

I agree with you there. She was by far the best thing in both films.

I think DR is much better. At least it has a bit of wit and sparkle about it. FR has nothing but the nonsense.

I still can't get over that thet don't play the MI theme during the biplane chase. The last ever set piece, which is admittedly awesome, but no score.

The whole score was crap, because they replaced the composer at the last minute for no reason.

It was a surprise to me as well, but there's a few of them out there.

I liked Dead Reckoning but The Final Reckoning was just horrendous, just a random jumble of nonsense, two decent set pieces but overall very bad.

And as a final installment, the last Mission Impossible, it couldn't have been more disappointing.

Definitely the most disappointing

Start your day with Léa Seydoux

Arcadia

Yeah, I wasn't enjoying it at all. The gameplay and combat especially wasn't working for me.

I'm still upset about it. And I quite liked Dead Reckoning.

He's not said a word about it since it came out. I think the incredibly muted reaction from audiences said it all and he noticed.

My rating system for films this year has been;

Was it better than Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning?

Because almost everything was.

The Final Reckoning no longer even hits my top 100 for the year.

PSVR. PSVR2. Vita.

Great pieces of kit. It's not unfair to see they were poorly supported.

I still don't believe that. A portable PS5. If that's what it is, it will be the worst possible way to play those games. With a battery life of about 30 seconds.

Sony have a very, very poor history with anything other than their main consoles.

I think that would be a mistake. The Switch 2 will have more games, great ones too, and sooner rather than later.

I don't put much stock in Sony's handheld at all. None. It might very well exist but they won't do it justice. It already sounds superfluous to me.

No, I don't think they are. That tracks with what I've been reading as well.

Oh well. My mistake in getting excited for it.

Well, I won't be then. Because that's just too much money. And I won't be the only one who can't afford it
