I did not.

Sorry to say, despite a multi million dollar movie being made within walking distance of my home…I’m too lazy/apathetic to go and see for myself.

For the last couple of weeks, the new Spider-Man has been filming about a 10 minute walk from my front door.

No big deal, I thought, probably just 2nd Unit stuff

Nope, Spidey himself, Mr. Tom Holland was there filming yesterday!!

Succession reboot looks shit

Today is the 25th Anniversary of the release of this masterpiece.

Quarter of a century and I’m still playing it regularly.

And @pinkalpacas.bsky.social and I are going to see a screening of *Nosferatu* (1922) soundtracked by Kid A and Amnesiac at the end of this month.

As mentioned by @tristancarlyon.bsky.social and myself last week…

I went all-in on the New52, buying every #1 and then whittling them down according to my enjoyment, or lack of.

Pretty sure the only titles I stuck with past 6 issues were Wonder Woman, Swamp Thing, Animal Man and All Star Western (+ the 2 LoSH titles, but that was a completist thing not quality)

If you see this, post a robot

Recently I’ve been reading (and loving) the original Transformers issues for the first time since publication.

But I’m having to limit myself to one issue per day because they regularly pull shit like this…

Meanwhile, the very first time I ever used Spotify, I played maybe 3-6 songs I already liked, then went to its “Recommended For You” option and the very first track it suggested was an absolute banger by an act I’d never heard of that instantly went in my rotation.

Why can’t NF use THAT algorithm?

Been a constant subscriber since launch week in the UK, over a decade ago.

Rate everything I’ve ever seen, regardless of whether I watched it ON Netflix or not. If I’ve seen it, I rank it. And you know how much I watch.

And yet it STILL thinks I want to watch Jack Whitehall and Will Ferrell.

🤢

What.
The.
Fuck.

However there were several more boxes in my mums attic (Zoids, MotU, Smurfs, some Star Wars, some Marvel, various other bits and bobs), so I’m hoping to find the missing ones (Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, Overlord) next time.

But right now, yeah, I’m in a heavy nostalgia bubble.

1000%

Also a little frustrating. So many I can’t recall the names of (but I’m looking forward to investigating). Plus parts missing or broken (which means they were very well loved and played with, but as an OCD adult, wishing I’d taken better care). And at least 4 or 5 major ones missing…(1/2)

And a few more…

Been on a bit of a #Transformers kick recently thanks to @danielwarrenart.bsky.social excellent Image series and the first compendium volume of the OG series…so I went digging in my mums attic and dug out most (but definitely not all) of my original collection.

Looking forward to messing with these

The Good - my copy of SMT Compendium v2 arrived today, ahead of street date.

The Bad - Amazon still don’t give a single shit about packaging their items, so it has a massive crease on the back cover. So here we go again with me returning it until they send me an undamaged copy.

As of 20 mins ago I’m back at work after 22 days vacation and this evergreen tweet has never been more true…

Tell God he’s coming.

Tell him he’s fucking coming.

RIP Terence.

Another one for @onebigmultiverse.bsky.social

Man, that Bone Kickstarter Slipcase Hardcover sure looks sweet.

What an excellent addition to the collection of any discerning, handsome, charismatic and intelligent collector.

I’m gonna need this weeks #Smackdown to open with Shamus and Rusev still brawling through the backstage area, passing by Nia and Lash doing the same, all still in their same outfits from #Raw and #NXT, as though they’ve been continuously fighting
