First movie of @fwfilmfestival.bsky.social’s BIG SCREAM!
I’ve done zero research on these movies so I’m going in blind to every single one!

I’m back in Exmouth for a lil nostalgia trip! I lived here for 3 years when I was at uni and it’s been 20 years since I graduated. I fell in love with this town the moment I set foot in it. With evenings like this, it’s not hard to remember why.

I had the day off on Friday and so I decided to swing by the Lego Store. I swore to myself I would limit my spending to around £40.
But then Soundwave happened 😂

Oops. I thought I was low enough to walk under that road sign (I was not).

I finally got hold of a copy of RAD (1986) on 4K UHD from Vinegar Syndrome. It wasn't cheap but it was a somewhat acceptable price.
I love this movie! 🚲
We also need a 4K release of THRASHIN' (1986)

I've been avoiding swinging by my local collectible shop for this exact reason 😂
I was in there Saturday and couldn't resist picking up another Nintendo Game & Watch to add to my collection. This time a boxed and complete Donkey Kong Jr.

Last week was all about Sega Hulk games! I picked up the rare and expensive game for the Master System (using store credit so it barely cost me anything). Then while searching for that I came across a reasonably priced Incredible Hulk: The Pantheon Saga for Saturn.

My haul from today's Bristol Gaming Market! I was disappointed with not finding any Master System games to add to my collection but pleased with my purchases and found a few gems:

I was in Cardiff tonight to watch Oasis take to the stage and perform together for the first time in 16 years. It's also been 25 years since I last saw them live.
They didn't disappoint, what an incredible night!

While in Torremolinos, I went to Benalmádena for a boat trip to see dolphins and the next day I went on a guided tour around the canyons of Caminito del Rey. Both excursions were incredible! More videos to come.

Finally, I couldn't visit Southern Spain without spending some time on the coast. I spent 5 days in Torremolinos living that beach life!

Next stop on my Spain trip was Setenil de las Bodegas where many of the town's houses (including the one I stayed in) are built directly into the rock. Such a beautiful town!

I had an absolutely amazing time in Spain and I've brought the warm weather back with me (you're welcome). First stop was in Ronda and my apartment had incredible views of the Puente Nuevo!

Another pick up from @fwfilmfestival.bsky.social. I bought @jonmelville.bsky.social's book "Seeking Perfection: The Unofficial Guide to Tremors," after his superb intro and Q&A with Gale Anne Hurd.
TREMORS (1990) is one of my all-time favourites, so I can't wait to get stuck into this!
