Finished Whole Cake Island! Probably one of my favourite One Piece arcs overall? As a huge Sanji fan I was always going to like it, but the Disney-esque setting and the very different "win condition" of the plot make it feel really distinct. Ended up liking Bege way more than I expected. Good stuff!

Little bonus video! Rach and I got super lucky and ended up right at the front.

A couple of snaps from tonight's #royalrepublic gig. Excellent as always! Love this band so much.

Sorry but you will never convince me to watch that Primate movie. Clear anti-monkey propaganda intended to further divide us from our hairy brethren. If the scenario in the film did come to pass in reality, I'm certain an amicable solution could be reached.

1970s Peter Boyle was always getting up to something.

A ★★★ review of Send Help (2026) A little disappointing if I'm being honest! Up until the finale Send Help only really delivers on the implied promise of its premise in fits and starts, and while those moments are entertaining in all...

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad it exists, but ultimately I do wish that Send Help was a fair bit better than it is.

It's really rare that One Piece's animation impresses me but to give credit where credit is due, episode 870 really delivers in a way that the show usually doesn't. Possibly the most I've actually enjoyed a One Piece fight so far.

A ★★★★ review of Evil Dead II (1987) Where the fuck did Sam Raimi find Bruce Campbell? Dude looks like he was chiseled out of granite by Zeus himself. An absurdly handsome man, some kind of sick joke on the rest of us surely. Definitely ...

It's been a really long time since I last saw it, but Evil Dead II is still just a ton of fun. Playful and gory and inventive throughout. Bruce Campbell is magnificent, as is Raimi's "swing for the fences" direction. Very excited to see Send Help now!

Plur1bus: Really good! Guilty of just a little wheel spinning in the middle, and I doubt it will ever top its very first episode, but other than that it's really, really difficult to fault. Super glad I went in knowing nothing about its premise or even genre, so I'll leave it at that. More please!

I've been using Duolingo to learn German for a year today. People will tell you that it isn't the best learning resource, and that's probably true, but I definitely know more German than I used to and have enjoyed the process so far.

A ★★★★ review of Marty Supreme (2025) Definitely feels like something of an evolution in style for director Josh Safdie, dialling back on the unrelenting, anxiety-inducing tension of Good Time and Uncut Gems in order to dive a little deep...

Kind of haven't stopped thinking about this since seeing it? A thematically richer film than it wants to let on, I think.

Just got out of Marty Supreme. Pretty good! Lacks some of the enraging intensity of Uncut Gems/Good Time but really entertaining nevertheless. I've seen a lot of people be really cynical about the ending, but I found it quite touching. Timothée Chalamet is truly the best actor of his generation.

Redid my list of "Top 25 games". Loosely ordered, at least for the first 10 or so. Their are probably some great games that I've simply temporarily forgotten about, so don't be too shocked if this changes in the future.

Credits just rolled on Donkey Kong Bananza. Overall a very, very good game! Slightly held back by some questionable design choices but still one of the best 3D platformers ever made. If you think it's better than Super Mario Odyssey you are smoking crack cocaine.

A ★★★ review of Superman (2025) I liked it! It's definitely flawed in a few different ways but the stuff that does work here works wonders, and it's the kind of foundational stuff that gives me a lot of hope for the inevitable seque...

A few more thoughts on the movie. I have become really bad at getting these out in an acceptable timescale.

James Gunn's Superman: I liked it! Maybe doesn't 100% work 100% of the time but it's very entertaining and when all the pieces line up just right - which happens fairly often - some really potent moments are created. The most I've enjoyed a superhero movie in a while.

They're calling it "the best NY Times ballot so far"

Was rewatching Lord of the Rings when I noticed this weird plot hole, why does Gandalf tell Frodo the ring is cool? Doesn't he know that it's evil?

"Abbey Road" this, "Pet Sounds" that. Real ones know that the best album of all time is Kirk Van Houten's "Can I Borrow a Feeling".

Only went and got married to the best person in the world

I am very sad that the new Mission: Impossible is apparently more of a Dead Reckoning (bad) than a Ghost Protocol/Rogue Nation/Fallout (good).

So how long is it after becoming the new Pope that you start to unlock the memories and skills of all previous Popes?

Didn't watch as many movies as I would like to have in April due to Real Life Things coming first, but still a good month overall. If you haven't seen The Graduate you should change that, I promise it feels way more contemporary and relatable than its age would indicate.

YouTube video by Dr R Dizzle When the Hero of Kvatch isn't quite what you'd hoped

Reposting this dumb little video I made in honour of Oblivion Remastered coming out

Actual tears in my eyes. The proof will be in the pudding but every indication from the full reveal video is that they get it. I mean, the returning voice lines alone!

Playing Spider-Man for a bit in Marvel Rivals really makes you appreciate how easy most other characters are in comparison

All the movies I watched in March 2025, rated and reviewed. Slightly slower month due to various commitments, but a strong one all the same. David Lynch's "Blue Velvet" has become an instant personal favourite.

I love this so much. There was absolutely no need to render Wigglytuff in this much unnerving detail, but they did it any way.
