I saw Resident Evil last night, and the John Carpenter inspiration is hard to miss. The movie was also a lot funnier than I expected it to be. It was chock full of jumpscares and ridiculous popcorn horror antics. #blutoid #movietoid #movies

I finally broke down and bought a subscription to the movie theater in my hometown. I'm pretty stoked about it, as I'm already seeing more movies than I would have otherwise. Here's to keeping the movie spirit alive. Today's watch is the 2016 anime Your Name. #blutoid

Check out my review of #GunstarHeroes on the #Sega #Genesis as part of my Top 100 Genesis games review Odyssey. This #Treasure game put them on the map & is considered 1 of the best run&guns ever #Blutoid #Retrogaming lord-spencer.blogspot.com/2026/08/gene... www.pillowfort.social/posts/8094379

I really enjoyed Disclosure Day. I'm considering seeing it a second time. As a side note, I was reminded of how much I enjoy going to the movies. I'm looking forward to seeing The Odyssey and the upcoming Street Fighter movie. #blutoid #movietoid

I'm glad I saw Mando and Grogu, but the movie felt like multiple episodes from the show crammed into a single package. While it fell short on that front, it was still cool seeing Y-Wings parked on a tarmac. #blutoid

There is so much to do, but time is precious. This is a good problem to have. I'm going back to school. I want to contribute to open source coding projects. I want to make websites for friends. I want to help indie writers and journalists thrive. I want to write fiction. There is so much to do...

I have a quirk. I collect stickers but I don't stick them on anything. My fear is that one day the dam will break, and I'll wake up in the morning, shaken and disoriented, with stickers all over my face, the walls, the neighbor's car, my roommate's dogs. Send help. #blutoid

I think it's hard to put into perspective how bad something is when you're in the middle of it. When the future is unknown (it almost always is) our best reference point is the past. Whatever source we once used to overcome the unknown must be used again.
