Just watched Drop (2025).
Great premise, bad vibes. The two leads stumble through awkward dialogue like it’s their first date IRL.

Was it supposed to feel tense? Or just under-rehearsed?
Even Bear McCreary phoned it in.

Hard pass.

Uma Thurman in this was my sexual awakening.

There’s always money in the banana stand.

Perfectly sums up my own reaction.

Oh really? I never read anything on that. Got a link for me?

Absolutely agree. I’m kind of a ‘54 purist, so I initially thought that 2014 was going to be similar. I was utterly disappointed, especially with how Cranston, the only good character, was wasted.

Thank god for Yamazaki.

Tom Cruise says #GodzillaMinusOne ‘reinvented the genre’

“It’s fantastic … perfect”

We need a mix between Filoni and Gilroy. There is room for both stylistically, but at the end of the day, what SW needs is good storytelling.

Minus One did everything I wanted Gareths Godzilla 2014 to do. It is truly a masterclass is storytelling.

This is very good news.

Made it through three rounds of interviews for a graphic design role, including a few design prompts. Got the call today that they went with another candidate.

Disappointed is an understatement, however, I’m going to let myself process this news, and start filling in the gaps.

Can we please go back to NOT sharing every mundane thing we do online for clout or whatever the reason?

Hats I designed based on the film A Fire In The Sky. If you need a new lid for the holidays, hit me up. #afireinthesky

Not me checking my email every 5 minutes to see if I get a job offer after making it through all three interviews

Had no idea a movie was in the works. Definitely intrigued

This book made me cry

Last night, I watched Grave of The Fireflies for the first time. It was truly a masterpiece, one that I hope I never see again. This movie broke me. #graveofthefireflies

Finally got around to watching #Saltburn and after two days, I’m still not certain if I liked it or not.

Godzilla Minus One is proof that as long as the story is compelling, that the genre itself doesn’t matter.
