Alita: Battle Angel landed fell short of commercial expectations in 2019. It's the kind of ambitious sci-fi film that needs more support.

I don’t know man if capitalism has just resulted in a small network of pedophiles destroying all life on earth then perhaps we should consider that it is a complete and utter failure as a system

The Blake Crouch curating and The Andy Weir writing, good fun but the overload of expectations was a bit heavy I guess. Recommended quick half an hour read still

Bloody good television is what it is! Banger of a season, with just half the epsiodes so far. Top notch writing, exponential rising stakes with humor and dialogues so rhythmic it's a verbal orchestra!! Slow Horses Season 5 continues this year's tradition of an insane line up of shows

Noah Hawley’s #AlienEarth is at its best when it’s contrasting space monsters with our own species’ worst instincts. Spoilers ahead…

If you're going to watch Murderbot on Apple TV, consider adding it to your watchlist. It's kind of like pre-ordering a book, it tells the streaming service that you're there for our show.

After racking up enough of @scalzi.com John Scalzi’s books in my reading list, started with a sampler story and oh boy, ‘Slow Time Between The Stars’ was flabbergastingly good. On to either ‘Starter Villain’ or ‘Redshirts’ now

A splendid return to form! @charliebrooker.bsky.social, Bisha and Ally really cooked up a mean appetiser for the Season 7 buffet. #BlackMirror #NormalPeople

A ★★★★½ review of Black Mirror: Common People (2025)
A near perfect Black Mirror episode, much like my preferred coffee - Dark, cold and with chunky ice cubes of reality floating in the bitter brew.

OK Computer, Radiohead's third album felt like such a steep growth from a two album old band with a marked focus on making the songs epic. An instant favourite of all time, so excited to hear where they go next with this -

Review of OK Computer by v7k - Musicboard
Review of OK Computer by Radiohead. Varun rated the album 5.0 / 5 stars. - Airbag is so good, and then Paranoid Android is so hauntingly melodic.
- Exit Music(For a Film) is a powerful ballad, did feel like the end credits rolling for a film. What amazing sounds and mixing!
- Loved loved Let Down. A literal hug in the form of a song!
- Karma Police straight up became...

Radiohead's second album The Bends made me feel terrible for not discovering it in my teenage years - musicboard.app/v7k/review/a...
Review of The Bends by v7k - Musicboard
Review of The Bends by Radiohead. Varun rated the album 4.5 / 5 stars. Liked it so much more than the first album. There is ample growth and nice twinge of cinematic soundscapes. High and Dry has been added to my list for future karaoke sessions. My Iron Lung was another favourite from this banger of an album!.

Review of Pablo Honey by v7k - Musicboard
Review of Pablo Honey by Radiohead. Varun rated the album 4.5 / 5 stars. The first album is a tough beast, showcasing your strengths and finding the balance between your best demos & crowd favourites. Took me an insane long to discover this legendary band’s origins. Would’ve gone bonkers if I bought this album and suddenly Creep comes along as the second song in the albu...
