I still can’t get over how good that Dead Island cinematic trailer was back in 2011. For such a forgettable game it has one of the best trailers ever. Genuinely flawless.

Remember when IPhones were rounded and curved?

There’s a special place in movie hell for films that are 90% darkly lit that suddenly include a blindingly bright scene. Looking at you Deathly Hallows part 2. That scene in Limbo Station nearly killed my eyes.

S3 Ep 4 of Wheel of Time unfortunately suffered from the poor set up of previous seasons. Questions raised only an episode ago are answered but without the time or context to explain why these answers are meaningful to the characters. Cool to see scenes visualised though, especially the Bore.

The Severance theme music has such raw potential to be remixed into an absolute banger.

Lord of the Rings would have been a very different story if the villain was named Sour Ron instead.

Season 3 of the Wheel of Time is kinda slapping so far. Making changes sure and I’m not down with all of them but it has my attention again. Also whoever did the music needs to calm down, I can only pick a favourite track so many times.

Remember that brief period where AI Biden, Trump and Obama played Minecraft and there was running lore and developments. Can we go back to that fun AI or are we just stuck with the horrors?

I had Taco Bell exactly once and it was so disappointing it pushed me away from all fast food for 3 years and counting.

Is “to hell and back” such a bad thing? It doesn’t state you actually went into hell, just that you arrived at the destination (Hell) and then returned. Could just as well have gotten to the border, seen how shit looks, said “nah” and gone home and the statement is just as accurate.

The “All-Seeing” Eye of Sauron? That thing had an MGS style vision cone, its peripheral vision was worse than my real human eyeballs!

Scrolling through shorts makes me feel like I’ve been sent to The Sunken Place. My inner mind is screaming at me to stop scrolling and read the book next to me but my fingers keep on swiping.

“If I was an eldrich god I’d be kinder to the lower life forms” Tell that to that dust mites on your skin you kill every time you itch your chin.

If time travel ever became common and accessible we’d get a lot of content like “Van Goth reacts to his future paintings 😭😭” or “We gave Nichola Tesla a real TESLA and you won’t believe his reaction!!”

My laptop fans go off out of nowhere sometimes at night and it’s like a dog sensing danger. “What’s happening boy, what do you see?”

Just experienced a moment I will immediately forget.

The only cartoon I will accept to get a modern “gritty reimagining” is Mona the Vampire. I think there’s a lot you could do with that one and an updated theme tune would slap.

Fantastic Four looks cool but is it such an ask to get better trailers for movies? So many fall into the same rhythm and routine. Slowed musical theme with dramatic drum beats as it cuts to black for a bit. Been the same since The Force Awakens trailer came out. 28 Years Later set a bar to beat

Parry the Platypus?? Dude I’ve barely figured out his dodge timings.

When did you learn your name?

Just have to assume I know how to use shampoo. Don’t think anyone actually ever explained it to me.

The amount of comedy gold I’ve held back because I couldn’t perfect the joke in time and the moment passed or just couldn’t word right could fill up Fort Knox.

If they made a PS5 attachment that made it backwards compatible all the way to the PS1 I’d genuinely consider buying it.

I adore the Riddick movies. They occupy such a unique niche in Sci-Fi movies that few others have even attempted to try. Not high art but comfortably special. Closest I can think is the Rebel Moon series and those go too far with it. Also the games absolutely ruled. Best movie tie-in game ever.

If I wrote modern events into a story and submitted it for publication, it would be rejected for being too heavy handed and unrealistic.

I go through life like a knife through cold butter. Slow, uneven and utterly destroying the toast I’m trying to enjoy.

If I ever make a game I’ll handwrite the subtitles and scan them in just to make it even harder to understand what’s being said. Might even throw in some cursive sometimes to mix it up.
