I’m intrigued! Marky is so hit and miss but Shane Black kinda feels like a good fit for his particular charm.
Either way, I’m gonna watch it because what else am I gonna do?

Haha! I went spelunking/cave diving (kind of) and kept referencing the film and no one had seen it. It was devastating!

I’ve always loved the idea of Jaws being watched on the water. So we need a screening of The Descent in claustrophobic cave?

Between Dexter: Resurrection and Murderbot I’ve come to realise something obvious - if you want to succeed, cast David Dastmalchian.

I really enjoyed it this! My thoughts:

*You could devote entire shows to what went wrong with T3 and Salvation. They’re not interesting films but it is interesting that they missed the mark by so far.

*Is Cameron the most successful sequel director ever? It’s actually nuts how good he is.

Thanks so much to @travisjj.bsky.social for being our first guest and talking Terminator with us!

Travis Johnson @travisjj.bsky.social · Aug 19

The good folks at @scifrightspod.bsky.social have their first guest! Unfortunately, their options were limited, so it's me. But if you wanna here me, @liamdunn82.bsky.social and @lindsayhallam.bsky.social dig into the entire Terminator franchise, smash that link.

No joke, I actually own two more copies of Fallout that aren’t pictured here (dvd and digital)

Well it’s neck and neck here in WA (not for winning the election but for becoming the opposition).

I’m yet to meet a single person here who actually likes him. I know a few people in his electorate and they despise him, so it’s a good sign.

I really hope Basil Zempilas loses. Not just today. Every day.

My little girl is utterly obsessed with Halloween. She is currently loving The Nightmare Before Christmas (while rocking a pretty tiara).

Wow, I wonder who isn’t coming back, and for what reason!

Driving down the freeway and suddenly a tarp and two pallets came flying out the back of a trailer and flipped down the freeway final destination style. Cars were running into them and swerving off the road. Terrifying stuff. No one seemed hurt or anything but a very close call. Scary!

It kind of feels like the world is missing all the adults and it’s just a bunch of 12 year olds running the show.

I don’t know when Notes started autofilling math equations for you but it needs to stop immediately. It’s absolutely useless and a gigantic hindrance to my productivity. The answers it spits out feel very AI-adjacent given how absurd they are.

Somehow arguing with some bloke on threads about diving related stuff and noticed that the way they write is this weird mesh of confidence and incoherence.
Are people filtering everything through AI these days?

2 minutes later Trump would be claiming the Vatican as the 53ed state and installing his own pope

I’m oddly surprised at how easily everyone is folding to Trump’s whims. I shouldn’t be, but for whatever reason I expected more.

You know you’re full-blown batshit crazy if you’re importing US conspiracy theories to Perth.

I’m enjoying Dexter: Original Sin except for Christian Slater really not working for me as Harry. Therefore, in my head cannon, I’ve decided Harry in the original series (James Remar) is an unreliable memory of Dexter’s. His dad as stoic and wise mentor as opposed to Slater’s anxiety-ridden mess.

Dave Mullins @davos418.bsky.social · Feb 5

Scream 3 aged surprisingly well. I think I like it more these days than I did when it came out!

Dave Mullins @davos418.bsky.social · Feb 4

I wonder what goes on in guys like Trump or Musk’s head. History says that they’ll wind up killing themselves in a bunker or hanging to death in front of a cheering crowd.
Why do they think they’re so special that it won’t all end horribly for them and their families?
