Feels weird that I’m not pumped to see the OT in cinemas on May 4th.

I got 20 mins into AOTD then noped the f outta there. Life’s too short.

I enjoyed The Mando seasons quite a bit (1&2 > 3), but I was getting tired of seeing early Macquarie and Johnston designs getting rifled through. Like, there’s no designers on staff? Didn’t they have Doug Chiang?

Vital. Information. Necessary. Centralised. 😁

Shaun of the Dead 9/10 Still funny. The chemistry of Pegg and Frost is just the best. Great cast all round. Setups and payoffs aplenty. Decent zombie gore. My15 yo son loved it.

Robot Dreams - 8/10 Charming, dialogue-free 2D animated film that deals with loneliness, companionship, loss and love with a dog and a robot. Funny and moving. Lots of little 80’s references as well as beautiful moments from the 2 main characters - not to mention the myriad of background...

This looks embarrassing 😩

Also, the marketing for John Carter was horrendous. Removing “Mars” from the title? Why? Hell, even renaming it “John Carter and the Princess of Mars” would have been better. I actually enjoyed it quite a bit although I couldn’t quite get behind Taylor Kitsch as an appealing lead. Lynn Collins...

I would prefer if Mars had a few more finished figures before teasing new ones. Regarding gauging interest, surely a simple poll would be easier and cheaper.

You chose wisely😊

Back To The Future 10/10 Goddamn what a tight, breezy, fun movie. Pure popcorn perfection nearly 40 years on. Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd are perfect together. The whole cast is awesome. Silvestri is magical. Huey rocks. May it never be remade.

Armageddon - 5/10 Making our way through older films on a rewatch with the kids.... Hmmmm.....Not as fun as I remember. Early Bayisms aplenty. Racism. Sexism. Statutory rapism. Kids love Owen Wilson though, kinda the best part but they killed him off! Otherwise, a shouty, ugly color-graded...

Might actually switch to a waist grabber. Those black nut-huggers really stand out against the Devo suit!🤭

Well, finally picked up Doc. PopCultcha had a 20% off sale - it was already reduced so it came to AU$240. Couldn’t pass it up. It’s actually better in hand, although I still think HT was totally lazy with the headsculpt. Anyway, nice to have Marty with Doc now😊

Starman 8/10 Rewatched with the kids. Carpenter’s ET is wonderfully simple and understated. While Jeff Bridges’ performance is unique, Karen Allen is just awesome. Grounding the film with humanity, vulnerability and compassion. 1984 might just be my favourite year for films.
