I watch movies from all over the world with the sound off and subs on. I play video games on PC. I read books and ebooks. I don't fit anywhere. I continue to exist.
Watched "The Dukes of Hazzard" (again). Has NOT aged well, no original series feeling, acting's meh, story's meh, even the driving's boring. At least there's Willie Nelson. #filmsky

Watched "Wake Up, Dead Man". Absolutely wonderful: back to proper mystery instead of that action bullshit of the last one. Twisty, turny, lots to say and think about, some spot-on social commentary, fab actors... only downer is secondary characters too thin. #filmsky

Watched "Tron: Ares". Tron was incredible 'cos it was '82 & no one made nerd movies, sequels are meh, this one no exception. Actors all fine, nice idea, no-depth characters, same "is AI good?" message as a trillion other movies from 24/25. Watchable, no more. #filmsky

Watched "Special Needs Revolt". Troma-style C-movie. Bad writing, teen boy humour, bad dialogue, bad story, sledgehammer "satire", painfully long. Heart in right place, does have a couple of moments, and Young has the attitude to be a B-Movie Queen. #filmsky

Playing Fallout 3 (GOTY), exited the Vault and travelled a little (to Megaton). Picked up a dozen or so quests, wandered over to the Duper Mart.
My brain's going "this feels Skyrimmy", that's cool.
Who built Fallout? Bethesda.

Watched "Salt" (Director's Cut). Not a big Jolie fan, but still good fun, nice and twisty, believable enough, plenty of action, good actors, ending's fine. Nothing epic or rewatchable, but definitely worth the time. Bring popcorn. #filmsky

I'm not a retro gamer. Since I didn't play these back when they were innovative, the first one bored me. Badly.
So I've installed Fallout 3, the first 3D-world in the series. Much better. Story and everything. If I love it (and NV and 4), I might end up going back to 1 and 2. Or not.

Finished Mafia 3 Definitive Edition for 4th time (for each of the individual capo endings). Not done weed or races, but everything else complete. Loved every minute of it, will play again and again!
Moving on to... Fallout. Yes, the first one. Never played any, have 1-4 in library!

Watched "The Running Man". Loved the old Arnie nonsense, this one totally different, with similar message about propaganda and megacorps. Good fun, lots of action, decent acting, but no oomph and the ending is feeble. Arnie's was better. #filmsky

Watched "The Return". Like a failing heartbeat, bumps of tension/action occasionally but otherwise flat & so slow it risks dying. Great for lovers of ancient history drama, great acting, long drag to excellent finish. Worth it for the end bath scene's dialogue. #filmsky

Watched "The Last Showgirl". Top-drawer performances from Anderson (she can act), Bautista (he can act) and JLC (fuck yes, we knew she could act), story's OK, gentle and not overly emotional. "Slice of life" thing that doesn't really go anywhere but watchable. #filmsky

Visitors are coming, so you clean your messy house because your standard of cleanliness is based on the houses you visit, houses that look spotless since they cleaned up before you arrived after seeing your house was clean when they visited.

Watched "Roofman". Watchable, though held up by the "true story" lead-in, as it drags in the middle (real lives aren't all action). Dunst excellent as expected, Tatum unexpectedly superb. Nice to see Dinklage, too. Worth a look! #filmsky

More discoveries in Mafia 3 Definitive Edition. Spoiler!
After placing tracker on Pagani's car, bad guys arrive on the dock. In car room, go behind boxes, up steps on the right. Leads to top deck. 3 guards and a sports car pointed at 1st of 2 ramps (in the bow, on dock) to escape without fighting!
