Belatedly doing a holiday Bond marathon as a way to avoid my Monsterverse watch through, which has gone quite badly so far.

Crazy hodgepodge of images. The turkey looks like it's a velveteen stuffy.

I'm apparently doing a Bond rewatch to put off my Monsterverse watch through.

2025 was the year of the skinny white boy with glasses and a taste for older women, apparently.

Not the Christmas-iest Christmas Last Four ever, but I did Crimesmas last weekend and Song Sung Blue was my Christmas Day movie with my mom.

Not a great week, folks. But, I am now fully caught up with Japanese Godzilla films (with the exception of those Netflix animes).

I had a similar revelation to this the summer of 2020 with the video of cops at a protest casually pushing over an old man and not bothering to help him after he hit his head on the concrete even as he started bleeding.

My regular Thursday game night was snowed out last night, so I did some new Netflix movie catch up instead, to pretty mixed results. Elsewhere, continuing to plow through the Millennium Godzillas.

It's always a good week to watch Dr. Strangelove.

Not the ones I rated the highest, but Internet Vice and Power of the Dog were really good first watches. Inherent Vice kicked me into a PTA rewatch/catch up.

Finished up the Heisei Godzillas this week, and finally saw a couple classics. I also really liked the pigeon doc.

Nearing the end of my Godzilla watch through. One more Heisei movie then on to the Millenniums and I'll be caught up with the Japanese movies.

Getting close to being done with the Heisei Godzillas. A couple duds, but on balance really enjoyable, especially as a guy who grew up on Americanized mecha and tokusatsu content. Also, Clue in theaters was so fun!

More statewide than just my hometown, but growing up it was definitely Maid-Rite. Loose meat sandwiches for all!

Taking a break from Godzilla after I accidentally backed myself into doing a PTA watch through this week. Not pictured, my favorite movie I saw last week: It Was Just an Accident.

Fully nailed my improvised leftovers curry. Doesn't photograph great, but tastes fantastic.

Pretty thin movie week, but a couple good ones. So far quite liking the Heisei Godzillas and really enjoyed Bugonia.
