Why did I put off doing #MindMapping for so long? This was so therapeutic for me by just getting all my thoughts down on paper in this way! #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #MentalHealthMatters #mentalhealth #mentalwellbeing #MentalHealthAdvocate

I am more than halfway through re-reading #TheRunningMan and I can't help but wish that Colman Domingo should have been cast as Dan Killian, and Josh Brolin as Bobby Thompson! @edgarwright.bsky.social

Martin @mbudds.bsky.social · 6d

We agree to disagree on this one.

Switch it off 5 minutes before the ending. You'll thank me later.

I really should try to get into the habit of going to church every Sunday again if I can! I always come out of the morning service feeling really good about myself from a mental well-being perspective.

Me and @sarahbuddery.bsky.social have just completed our EPIC rewatch of all four back-to-back seasons of #StrangerThings ! What a journey. Totally forgotten just how terrifying S4 was!

Bring on the fifth and final season!

The short story is one of the best things Stephen King has written. Hope you enjoy it when you do see it. Let me know your thoughts.

I just joined a local amateur theatre society very close to where I live! I have been wanting to join one for ages tbh but there weren't any ones as close to me before.

Looking forward to performing live on stage once again. I think the last time was back in 2014....

Martin @mbudds.bsky.social · 28d

I'm sure I will, my friend 🖤

Martin @mbudds.bsky.social · 28d

You are definitely NONE of those things.

Martin @mbudds.bsky.social · 28d

I can't wait! The story is one of my absolute faves

Martin @mbudds.bsky.social · 28d

What a great time to be a Stephen King fan, right!?

I think it says something about the world we’re in now that this year we’ve got four Stephen King adaptations on film, two of which are dystopia set films where human life is seen as expendable, and another is a black comedy parade of the random cruelty of death.

And then there’s Life of Chuck.

Tickets booked for #TheLongWalk at my local Odeon tomorrow! I am so stoked for it 😍

This is pretty much the basis for all mindfulness breathing techniques. Thank you for reminding me to keep trying to do this on a daily basis, if I can!

I remember seeing this when it was reported. I also have complex PTSD so I understand the struggles she's going through. It sucks.

Until we address the issues under the surface, we will continue to see increased demand on overstretched public services.

Join us as we campaign for a society that truly cares for people severely affected by mental illness 👉 www.rethink.org/campaigner

Under the surface, there are examples of societal causes of mental illness.

I hear a lot of people mention that it's not long until Christmas RN but no one ever thinks to talk about Halloween in the same regard. I understand it's more of an American tradition, but it deserves to get more recognition in the UK!

Martin @mbudds.bsky.social · Aug 16

Is this just me or is there any other like-minded hardcore movie fans who appreciate that there have been more horror movies coming out this year that are rated an 18 certificate?

I remember there were a number of years where so many horrors were released that were all rated a 15!

Just finished reading this for my monthly book club! Wasn't particularly too impressed though 😔

First novel I have read by Nicholls. Not sure if I should give One Day a go..?

The two horror films I'm intrigued to see this month are #Weapons and #BringHerBack #Horror #Cinema #UKFilmReleases2025

Martin @mbudds.bsky.social · Jul 27

Yeah, I wouldn't bother

Martin @mbudds.bsky.social · Jul 27

After being blown away by Superman, I was excited to see Fantastic Four: First Steps this weekend.

I have never left the cinema feeling so disappointed 😞 think my marvel days are well and truly behind me

Martin @mbudds.bsky.social · Jul 27

What a film!

Just came out of seeing #28YearsLater . I would say it was a brilliant threequel apart from the final 5 minutes! What were Boyle and Garland thinking ending the film like that? Was so disjointed and a bit distasteful from everything else
