For the last time @ Grammarly ads playing on every damn YouTube video I watch: I do NOT want to use Grammarly. I don't WANT AI suggestions on how to improve my writing. I hate generative AI so I'm afraid you'll have to prise my shitty grammar and punctuation from my cold, dead hands.

My first film of 2025 was WALL-E which I thoroughly enjoyed and was totally new-to-me. The visual humour in this film is fantastic and it's astounding to me that it can contain so little actual dialogue and yet still convey so much.

My less serious review: boxd.it/8gqBzd
A ★★★★ review of WALL·E (2008)
Didn’t expect to be saying “you’re in there, lad, but don’t drag around her comatose body on dates” about a Disney film but there we are.

I should've made the jump here much sooner tbh... used to be a very similar handle on The Website That Shall Not Be Named. Hoping to find bookish people again!
