All I'm going to say is that if you love movies you need to see Teenage Sex and at Camp Miasma. If you didn't like it, I don't want to hear about it because your opinion is wrong.

You know what movie just absolutely slaps and I feel no guilt for saying so….The Fast and The Furious (the 2001 original). Like yeah it’s dated and a kind of rip off but man it’s a gooooood time. Weird that it feels edgy now because of what the franchise would become too.

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is a goddamn masterpiece. I adored it and want to go see it five more times. Some of the best soundtracked scenes ever and just pure life affirming joy on screen.

The one thing I suspect was lost in translation with The Odyssey. The suitors were trapped in a thirst trap for about 16 years. I mean I know it’s Anne Hathaway but I reckon boredom may have crept in and they may have gone for a wander. Just hanging about that long, I dunno 🤔

The thing I really love about Bluesky is how we all came here to get away from Elon Musk's bullshit and yet my timeline is constantly filled with Elon Musk's bullshit.

Evil Dead Burn could have done with a bit more of a beating heart beneath its chest. Didn’t hate it, but starting to feel this franchise isn’t for me anymore. Too geared towards cheap shocks and pleasing the edgelords.

“Listen” I don’t know if you do Spielberg at his occasionally schmaltzy whimsical level so you may reject it in 2026, but I really enjoyed Disclosure Day. It has flaws but I was fully on board for the ride and may have…dropped tear.
