I've not posted on BlueSky for 6 months.

But John Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13 is on Freeview TV - and that feels like a legitimate reason to share news with the world.

Haha!

RoboCop 3 is a Christmas movie.
December 28, 2024 at 10:48 PM
Just finished Robocop: Rogue City (which was excellent), so obviously I had to get me some Robocop in.

The game takes place between Robocop 2 and 3. Ive watched the second entry fairly recently, so yeah, I'm going in to a rewatch of the third.

I know what I've signed up for.

Thankfully, Bubba Smith wasn't in Police Academy 7. He has 7 watches for me this year, but that 7th one was Gremlins 2: The New Batch.

This lead to his biggest collaborator rising to the top of my most watched actors.

I completely forgot this person was in so many of Shyamalan's films.

I am, of course talking about the man himself.

It was back in early July I rewatched Unbreakable.

I'd been wanting to first time watch Split and Glass (still not yet watched), so had to rewatch Unbreakable of course. This lead to me going through the Shyamalan verse.

Mixing in rewatches with new watches, he's risen to the top of my Directors.

When I stupidly started my year with all 7 (SEVEN) Police Academy movies, my @letterboxd.social Most Watched actor stats were ruined.

I've not purposely sought to break this list. Just watch what I watch over the year and see if anyone can compete.

It's taken me over a year to finally dip, but my sister got me a voucher for Christmas - so let's do this.

Just revisited Gremlins 2 for the first time this century I reckon...

And I was delighted to find out it takes place in the Breaking Bad universe.
December 25, 2024 at 9:54 PM
Oh Balatro, how I've missed you.
December 24, 2024 at 2:11 PM
I can see this ending well.
December 24, 2024 at 8:17 AM
Christmas movie
December 24, 2024 at 12:12 AM
Look, I know, it's far from a Christmas film.

But we are here for a good time.

So, this rambling has come to the conclusion that Chalamet and Zendaya will be king and queen of @letterboxd.social power in 2024.

See you on January 8th 2025.

Never bet against Willem Dafoe either.

Released this year:

Nosferatu (not in the UK)
Saturday Night
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
Kinds of Kindness
Poor Things (UK + VOD)

He also has the Eggers verse, which people may revisit ahead of Nosferatu, and a super strong back catalogue. He always ranks high.
December 23, 2024 at 2:08 PM
Another outside bet, Mr Pascal.

Gladiator II
The Wild Robot

He doesn't quite have the "popular" back catalogue to fall back on however, and both Hemsworth and Chalamet have more popular films released this year.
December 23, 2024 at 2:02 PM
Another potential is Chris Hemsworth:

Furiosa
Deadpool & Wolverine
And of course Transformers One

Plus he has the whole Marvel back catalogue in his favour, which will always get decent views.

This reminds me, I need to rewatch Gremlins 2.

Peter tells an anecdote about working with his all time crush Catherine Deneuve.
December 23, 2024 at 10:55 AM
After trying my best to get on with THE HAPPENING, and not even admiring it's attempt at being a 1950s B-movie...

I need a cleanse.

And what better than a Hyams / JCVD collaboration that I've never seen.

After an hour of hardware troubleshooting a HDMI port, which turned out the fix was flicking a setting off and on again, I'm now rewatching this bad boy.

Was quite the experience in the cinema last year and delighted to have the disc.

Let's go full Kaiju.

Something a bit different, watching #TheShowdown #Golf

This is mad so far.

Brooks, Scottie, and Rory all wearing Nike.
Bryson rocking his Reebok Crushers gear.

When I say gear, I mean a massive Arsene Wenger style coat.
