In the depths of Summer I carry in my heart an endless Winter. (Pronouns - He/Him)
So far I’ve watched 365 movies this years and most I don’t remember but it’s a toss up between Caught Stealing and The Ballad of Wallis Island.
What was the best film you saw this year? (and what was the worst?)
Out of the 107 films I saw in cinemas this year so far, I've got a list of 22 contenders for my 'best of' list (usually about 10 or 12).

I'm expecting Marty Supreme to shake things up a bit but it's going to have to be a belter to earn its place.

This was a recent discovery for me and I quickly watched all six episodes:

Two scenes hit home for me. Leonard entering his Dead’s Mums bedroom and Hungry Paul’s lecture to his sister about their parents.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

I think I can promise that Ansible 461 (1 December) is the final issue of 2025.

Reading Halycon years by Alastair Reynolds.

At the end of chapter 1 and 2 was left with this feeling after the revelations 🤣

You know you are getting old when the actress that played Trillian in the Hitchhikers tv series is now 77 and plays a mad old woman in the new adaption of The Running Man 😱

Predator: Badlands was a lot of fun, see it at the cinema if you can.

Well this year iCloud completely failed backing up my old iPhone before I switch to a new one (with the upgrade program you need to hand your old phone back).

Had to dig out the cable and backup to my computer 😳

Well tonight I get to see the director’s cut of Aliens at an actual cinema. Although I saw Aliens at the cinema when it was originally released and seen the DC (or Special Edition) on DVD this will be the first time at the cinema.

It’s Sunday!

Post a cartoon you love.

Lot of old cartoons I love but for a more modern one, Scavengers Reign, which depicted an alien biosphere that was more complex than a lot of sci-fi tv/movies bother to do:

If I had a time machine
How could you tell?
No flashing lights
Or weird noises
The only clue?
A small dog
A mutt you could say
The only evidence
Of a wrong finally righted.
