I was really late to the party here but THIS BOOK WAS BLOODY BRILLIANT!!!

Piransi by Susanna Clarke

Winner of the 2021 Women’s Prize for Fiction

Kieran Pell @lefthandeddalek.bsky.social · 10d

this book is giving me immeasurable relief from some dull narrative non-fiction im slogging through at the moment. star trek, glass people, iris wildthyme and twenty questions.

cant ask for more than that

its so nice to hear a more favourable outlook of this season as i quite enjoyed it. the negative reception overall of rtd2 has soured me a lot on wider fandom a bit. i reckon we get a major reappraisal in 5-10 years

definitely, condensing the origin by having mark gatiss tell it to me was nice and let us get to new territory on film.

my main gripe was how quick the globe was willing to accept we weren’t giving up this kid. FUCK THAT KID! surprised there wasnt a scene of someone trying to steal him away tbh.

Kieran Pell @lefthandeddalek.bsky.social · Aug 13

just watched fantastic 4

dreadful script, probably because i dont care about babies.

film looked gorgeous tbf

go watch superman instead

spiderman is stuck in a time loop of the same action sequence for 2 and a half hours and has to engineer his escape somehow. even the mcu is feeling the ever restricting hand of a limited budget no matter how big
