'Midnight Special' Movie Review - Jeff Nichols' Sci-Fi Homage Jeff Nichols is one of the best directors that America has to offer and Midnight Special was a delight to revisit for its timely science fiction themes rooted in immigration and fear of a controlling ...

wrote some words on one of my favourite films of the last decade; the wonderful MIDNIGHT SPECIAL - for Movies We Texted About: movieswetextedabout.com/midnight-spe...

wait ages for a dawn of war iv and then we get a dawn of war iv AND a total war 40k game in the same year? so fucking spoilt

yesss it looks so much fun. just a slate of game releases made entirely for me next year it seems.

game awards take aways:

Tomb Raider: Catalyst (!!)
Control Resonant
Warlock (!!)
Total War: Warhammer 40k (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Fate of the Old Republic

we're feasting gooood

speaking my truth: I don't get Geese

I will go to my grave screaming about how Pennywise being a clown hits completely different for anyone under 40 or 50, because the original intent was that Pennywise LOOKED HARMLESS, because “IT” predates scary clowns, & if the story were modern, Pennywise would manifest as a ninja turtle or Luffy

Rosalía tickets secured

fucking love how its main focus so far is on the traitors leaving terra - mad scramble for safety feels like BSG but in 30k. Side note: 30k > 40k.

Lesssgoo, Ashes of the Imperium

There's enough there to get my attention:

Thurs: The War on Drugs, Kasabian, The Prodigy, Jade, Loyle Carner, The Vaccines, All Them Witches, Blood Incarnation, Tom Smith & Yard Act

Friday: The Last Dinner Party, Wolf Alice, Kingfisher, FKA Twigs, Franz Ferdinand, Agnes Obel

Rock Werchter dropping The Cure, A Perfect Circle, Rise Against, Ethel Cain, David Byrne and Mogwai on the same day is the kind of once in a generation day festival lineup that practically saves the rest of the 4 days.

Rock Werchter knows how to pull me right back in - a Sunday of Mogwai, David Byrne, The Cure, A Perfect Circle and Ethel Cain is the kind of greed they talk about in the bible.

It begins

committing to five gigs this week + a pissup with mates from football may have been a bit too much

Dirty Three tonight proved what we already knew: Warren Ellis > Nick Cave. Near 3 hours of finely tuned violin magic, and brilliant stories bantering both with the crowd and security. Greatest musician alive, at the peak of his powers. Ocean Songs in full for Arctangent Festival, please

Oh THE WAR BETWEEN THE LAND AND THE SEA is a Who spinoff written by Russell T Davies alright

imagine taking the globes seriously in 2025

BIG gig week for me this week - the last one of the year.

Going out on a high with Dirty Three tonight, Matt Berninger, My New Band Believe (Black Midi offshoot), English Teacher/Truthpaste/Silver Gore, and Y upping an all-dayer at the Windmill

You couldn’t make BLAZING SADDLES today. You have laundry to do.

Mad Max: Fury Road hands down

It’s super immersive but after the fourth time in the stocks after you run through a random door thinking it’s passable only to find a guard on the other side you got to be careful. Definitely very goood, just daunting

This is a *extremely* punishing early game my word

that'd be great. need to get around to the Days Gone remake as well - played it the first go round but if it makes a sequel more likely!

Oscar for Jesse Plemons please and thank you - BUGONIA was superb. Train delays robbed me of a IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT double bill - but I'll see it before I go back to Devon on the 18th

oof that hurt really stings. I haven't played the first one (will go back after this one and do it!) but I'm already starting to really loathe Hans

BUGONIA: my wooord that Green Day needle drop

A terrible actor & Paul Dano

Yeah, even from the opening act you can tell the dynamic between the two is so goood.

First two hours into KINGDOM COME: DELIVERANCE II and I love the character building in this game - the landscape itself is gorgeous. Sunk 15 hours into AC SHADOWS but it’s going to be hard to go back.

We’re locked in. Been wanting to see these for ages.
