Dvdcompare site is down, apparently for a few days too. This means I'm going to just have to take a punt that the version of Lock Stock I'm buying is actually a decent version. Could end up wasting 6 quid! That's almost 3 quarters of a pint of Guinness in London.

That's cool because I always thought that the unparalleled world building that Star Wars created, covering hundreds of planets, species and galaxies really needs reigning in so that it can only focus on one dude and his relatives for 12 movies.

A low-angle selfie of a man (me) with dark-rimmed glasses, a beard, and a black jacket posing next to a tall, inflatable Halloween dragon inside a large retail store. The inflatable dragon is primarily black with metallic red scales on its underbelly, glowing green eyes, red horns, and shiny red claws extended forward.

I used to listen to my Spotify Release Radar religiously every Friday but stopped a few years ago because I was starting to think it was just filled with fake music, but I check in again occasionally and it's nice to be reminded the artists I forgot existed have new stuff out.

Got tickets to see a band next year I've been wanting to see live for several years but never had the opportunity - KING BUFFALO.
 concert ticket confirmation graphics card for King Buffalo's 2027 European Tour. The image features a rust-colored poster with stylized black mechanical monster artwork, announcing special guests Spirit Mother and the new album "Doomsayer." White overlay text at the bottom specifies the gig details: "King Buffalo" at "Scala" on "Sat 6 Mar 2027, 18:30" for "General Admission."

Is MOBLAND on Paramount+ actually any good, or is it - as I expect - a 'throw a lot of money at an absolute A-Star cast then we don't have to put as much effort into the actual show' kind of deal?

I want to be excited for this, but it's both written by, and directed by Chris Columbus. And he's not great at doing either of those things. Plus, Gremlins 2 is the good one in this series, and that's the one Chris wasn't involved with. But hey, it has 2 years to get me interested.

Watched MR BURTON last night, which I enjoyed well enough. But it made me realise how little of Burton's work I've ever really seen. I mostly just know him by legend rather than my own experience. Maybe I'll check out some of his films. Probably not Cleopatra though. 4hrs is a bit much.

A ★★★½ review of Mr. Burton (2025)
Toby Jones is always great in everything. But it's Harry Lawtey's film who was fantastic. I can't say I've seen enough Burton films (or any stage work) to say how accurate his performance (and voice) ...

Our food waste bin has been attracting fruit flies so I've been trying to find a solution, and it led me to finding out that fruit flies are officially called DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER, which to be fair is a pretty badass name.
Drosophila melanogaster
Species of fruit fly

Drosophila melanogaster is a species of fly (an insect of the order Diptera) in the family Drosophilidae. The species is often referred to as the fruit fly or lesser fruit fly, or less commonly the "vinegar fly", "pomace fly",[a][5] or "banana fly".[6] D. melanogaster is attracted to rotting fruit and fermenting beverages and is often found in orchards, kitchens, and pubs.

Ok, series 7 completed. It's mostly pretty bad, sadly. But it does end in a good pair of episodes with Epideme and Nanarchy. Onto series 8 next. I've not seen that series in a long time as I usually give up the whole rewatch by then. But I'll be doing the lot this time. Albeit slowly.

I mean, it could happen. Sean Penn won the supporting oscar when he was up against clearly the better supporting actor in the same film in Benicio Del Toro, but I'd be surprised if any of the voters go 'yes, Anne deserves the award over Samantha Morton'.

This is an interesting franchise that doesn't always work quite a well as it should, but it's still well worth watching. So I'll be checking out the (probable) final entry.

As I don't have a Switch 2, the Ocarina of Time remake is one I'll have to wait to play. But in the meantime I'm playing an old Gameboy Colour Zelda game that I don't think I've played before - ORACLE OF AGES. It's good fun so far.
A close-up shot of a metallic green retro handheld console running the Game Boy Color game The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages. The pixelated screen shows top-down gameplay of Link walking through an overworld forest area with green trees, bushes, and stone pathways. The top status bar displays equipped items, four full health hearts, and a rupee count of 111.A close-up view of the same metallic green handheld gaming console, held by a person's thumb resting near the face buttons. The screen shows a dark dialogue scene from The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages featuring character sprites above white pixel text that reads, "I am Nayru, Oracle of Ages."

I missed AT THE GATES had a new album out this year, and I'm gutted to hear their vocalist Tomas Linberg died before it came out, but I'm blown away by the fact he laid down all the vocals in one day, without the music even written, before going into surgery for throat cancer that sadly took him.

I don't even understand how he can sleep like this.
A black-and-white tuxedo cat sleeping peacefully stretched out on its back on a fluffy, textured grey faux-fur blanket. The cat has white paws tucked up, a white chest marking, and its head resting sideways on the blanket. An orange cushion with a black geometric circle pattern sits behind the blanket on a blue sofa.

Latest GREEN LUNG seems on course to be my favourite album of the year. It's just so much fun. And I'm loving how they can so blatantly do Sabbath, Maiden or Deep Purple but still entirely sound like themselves.
Detailed black-and-purple linocut artwork by artist Richard Wells for Green Lung's album Necropolitan. The band name "GREEN LUNG" is rendered in bold purple lettering above the album title "NECROPOLITAN" in a stylized white gothic font. The central image depicts a cavernous, wide-mouthed beast filled with fanged teeth and chaotic demonic creatures surrounded by stone pillars, gargoyles, winged imps, and overgrown cemetery monuments. An ornate border frames the piece, inscribed with the names of London's Magnificent Seven cemeteries and the subtitle "Being the Secret History of the Seven Cemeteries."

People stupidly complain about London, but there aren't many cities you can have a beer after work and get views like this.
A wide rooftop terrace view looking toward St Paul's Cathedral on the right, backlit by a warm orange and yellow sunset horizon under dramatic grey clouds. To the left, modern skyscrapers in the London skyline stand against the dusk sky. The foreground shows metal safety railings, wooden decking, low benches, and a few people gathered on the rooftop observation area enjoying the cityscape.

I walked past a theatre in London that is playing a musical written by Sting, and seeing the words 'By Sting' just makes me wonder if he's ever thought "you know what, I think it's about time I stop going by the name of Sting". Because it's a fun nickname for a rockstar in his 20s, but a 74yo man?

Checking out BLOOD & RUST, because I was searching TUBI for any 2026 horror movies they might have acquired that aren't shit, and this might be one such film. It certainly meets the 2026 + Horror criteria. Let's see how it does with the 'not shit' part.
A movie poster for "Blood & Rust" (2026), directed by Jeremy Herbert. The poster features a dark, gritty red-and-black aesthetic with two central men armed with weapons in the foreground: an older bearded man holding a double-barreled shotgun and a younger Black man holding a customized rifle fitted with a torch or canister. Behind them, a man's stern face is framed between a set of giant, shadowy red eyes in the dark background, flanked by ghastly zombie-like figures. At the bottom, a lone silhouette walks into a foggy mist near a sign reading "Redpatch City Limits," with the title "BLOOD & RUST" in white serif lettering.

Watched this last night. Good fun. Particularly enjoyed Julia Roberts character as a great real-life example of what can happen when an incredibly rich person (usually right wing) can just decide how they want global policy to work, even though they're not in any real position of power.

Accidently timed a walk up to the shop to get teabags with the time that all the kids get out of school and also go to the shop. Mildly amused to discover that Lynx body spray seems just as prevalent today as it was several decades ago when I was one of these same school kids.

Whether is drizzly and gloomy, so you know what that means - the season for listening to doom / black metal is approaching! So I'm checking out the band 1914 as I've heard good things about them. Bleak blackened death metal stuff from Ukraine, featuring inspiring songs about WW1. Lovely.

I've noticed recently just how uninterested I've become about what's new in gaming, including things like this I'd usually be up for buying, and I've been trying to work out why. I still play games, I have a job and some disposable income. But I think it's just 'do I want to spend £70 on this'.
