On top of losing my friend last week the world lost two more shining lights. RIP Michelle Trachtenberg and Gene Hackman, not to mention his wife and dog.

Comic artist Richard Elson is massively responsible for how I always imagine Sonic the Hedgehog and his pals, and today I discovered that he apparently lives in my home town!!

Two nights ago a dear friend of mine passed away and I’m honestly crushed. I lived with Mark for close to a decade and despite living with a lifelong disease he approached almost every day with warmth and humour, often punctuated by some of the most impressive farts ever. He was a true warrior.

#CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld is a pretty good MCU film. It sticks fairly close to CA:TWS in terms of tone and plotting although admittedly it’s nowhere near as tightly written. Regardless, Sam Wilson really embodies the Captain America mantle without compromising his own unique character. 4/5⭐️’s

Looks like a Rancor with Hydrocephalus… #JurassicWorldRebirth

An accurate depiction of me this last week…

#CivilWar isn’t a prediction, it’s a spoiler…

Guess who has two thumbs and coughed up blood again today? This guy! 👍👍

Just reached the episode of @wrestlingbios.bsky.social’s “Reliving the War” that covers the Raw tribute to #OwenHart and honestly I found myself weeping. Owen was one of my favourites back in the day and his passing was such a shock as a young wrestling fan. It still is. RIP Owen.

#ElonMuskIsANazi

RIP David Lynch. A true cinematic auteur. You will be missed.

The new year is off to an awful start; one of my old college lecturers has passed away. He was devoted to entertaining others and was just such a commanding presence in the lives of so many. I feel numb. I can’t quite find the words except to say RIP, Paul. You were an original. ❤️

One of the most terrifying images I can think of. If you know you know…

RIP Olivia Hussey, star of Romero & Juliet (1968), Black Christmas (1974), It (1990), and Psycho IV (1990), among others.

I got my Two in the Box!! #Ghostbusters

Merry Christmas ya filthy animals!! Have a great day!!!

Talking of my film of the year, #SonictheHedgehog3 isn’t the only film to lay claim to that title, with the likes of #GodzillaXKongTheNewEmpire, #LisaFrankenstein, #Terrifier3, and of course #TheSubstance all laying claim to that lofty title as well!

#SonictheHedgehog3 isn’t perfect by any means- there’s a couple of missed opportunities, I feel- but it did fill me with so much joy as a lifelong Sonic fan that it might just be my film of the year!

I’m so ill I tried paying for groceries with my door fob!

So I’ve been ill since early November with flu symptoms and a chest infection, but what’s really frustrating is that it hasn’t been consistent; one week I can barely stand without coughing, the next I can work just fine with minimal interruption. At this point it’s getting to be a joke!

Soon… #Ghostbusters #PlasmaPack #GhostbustersPlasmaPack

In other news, british art dealer Angus Neill has revealed that he’s the emaciated infected guy from the new 28 Years Later trailer, not Cillian Murphy. I’m personally posting this news only because I knew it wasn’t Cillian in that trailer! Suck it!! lol. But would have been cool if it was…

Somehow a quick trip to my doctors resulted in so much annoyance, and somehow in the middle of it all I’ve lost my glasses…

I literally cannot wait… #SonictheHedgehog3

A mess of food!!

My work’s Christmas meal was tonight but still I just felt alone in the crowd.

And now I’m watching #Twister (1996) again… Seriously why do all roads lead back to this film for me? I’m a die hard #Horror and #Godzilla fan but for some reason I have willingly watched this slice of 90’s disaster more times than possibly any other film I’ve rewatched COMBINED!!

The weather is so crazy out there today that I swear I saw Glen Powell flying past the window earlier! He was riding a cow at the time. It was honestly insane!!

Hey, are there any UK-based #Ghostbusters / #Cosplayers here on BlueSky at all? I’d really love to add other fans on here, especially anyone who attended the recent #CrosstheStreams gathering that occured at #MCMBirmingham last Saturday. Nearly 200 Ghostbusters showed up! #WhoYouGonnaCall?

I kind of feel like I’m just shouting into the void on #BlueSky at the moment. Like, can anyone see my posts? Does anyone even care?

Ooh, #TheThingRemastered us out! Don’t mind if I do…

My #GodzillaMinusOne steelbook and deluxe boxset arrived recently and that makes me happy at least…

I think I kind of hate Christmas now. When you live on the periphery of society there is nothing more isolating than being exposed to happy families and friends when you need to go into town at this time of year. They’re all just reminders of what I used to have in life, and that fact hurts.

All I want in life is an underground bunker and enough money to fill it with nerdy stuff and snacks! Isn’t that what every man wants?

More from the “Cross the Streams” Ghostbusters UK gathering at MCM Birmingham.

We came, we saw, we kicked MCM Birmingham’s ass! Footage from the big UK Ghostbusters gathering at MCM Birmingham earlier where so many of us from all across the UK convened to “Cross the Streams”, so to speak!

I think my favourite thing to do at the moment is watch other people’s reactions to experiencing Godzilla Minus One for the first time on YouTube. Just seeing others feel the same emotions that I did and be so affected by this incredible film makes my passion feel so much more validated…
