  • Deadpool and Wolverine. For the first time in a LONG time, I didn't cringe at the MCU humor. Enjoyable for at least one watch, like a lot of the MCU.
  • As long as it's modern day, I would like to have her write a Bond. I'm not sure what type of Bond story that she would possibly write. If the main characters are back, I'd be happy to read what she does. https://www.instagram.com/charlotte_philby/

  • Happy 27th anniversary to Goldeneye 007! Still a classic that's worth replaying, all these years later.
  • Happy 15th anniversary to Batman Arkham Asylum! Still a classic that's worth replaying, all these years later.

  • Back to the Future the Game for PS4 by Telltale Games. The REAL BTTF Part 4. Highly recommended. Let's be thankful that (apart from MJF's current health) that BTTF wasn't overdone. Also, Gamescom is this week, expect some surprise announcements!
  • With Gamescom happening this week, it could be possible that this game will be mentioned.

  • I'm getting a little scared at how many people are returning in my life in the last month. Some people I haven't talked to in years. Yet, since I lost my (main) job a month ago, so many people have been popping in and out, it seems. I wonder what th…
  • https://x.com/rianjohnson/status/1824878698404728890 I’m really the first person to post this?
  • It’s nice to see some more TROS fans. I agree that it does have a real Star Wars feel to it. I also agree that it is creatively lazy. The visuals and music are great, but it’s story and pacing are a mixed bag. I think Darth Jar Jar would have worked…
  • Here's my take (again): M: Cillian Murphy Q: Phoebe Waller-Bridge Moneypenny: Anya Taylor-Joy
