13FingerFX @danmartin.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Absolutely. I will say the close all tabs in window and save a ms a bookmarks folder) action has been amazing for that reason (though my bookmark hygiene has never been worse). I think the only sensible plan is to create a browser plugin that creates a RAG of my history that I can search against. 110
13FingerFX @danmartin.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Is it an adhd thing to never want to tick the “don’t show me this again” box on even the most annoying app reminders? I don’t know the future; maybe I’ll desperately want whatever thing I’m currently dismissing but not even remember it’s a possibility… 1120
13FingerFX @danmartin.bsky.social · 23/07/2026That’s the problem, modern actors are all already in therapy and, thus, have all learned about reasonable professional boundaries. /s 010
13FingerFX @danmartin.bsky.social · 23/07/2026It won’t give 10% of the discomfort of the original. No judgment on Parker Finn, just no studio’s going to finance a film where performances vacillate between psychotic meltdown & borderline hypnotised and the whole is as off-putting as possible to the point of being deliberately un-commercial. 210
13FingerFX @danmartin.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Excited to break out that is is officially settled! Tove described them as like velvet and the official website mentioned their short fur in the blurb for Finn Family Moomintroll. I can’t find any official call on the texture of snorks, though, so presumably that is, indeed, sex-toy rubber. 050
13FingerFX @danmartin.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Checking a detail of a short film I worked on and look what the second result is if you search “bald” on imdb! 120
13FingerFX @danmartin.bsky.social · 30/05/2026I saw a deeply creepy reel on instagram announcing a new ai/robotic “companion”. I had the same response I’m sure most of you fine people will have had. So I made this. (Trigger warning: I used some ropey “free” ai in there. Sorry.) 060
13FingerFX @danmartin.bsky.social · 24/05/2026I would have a Gordom Brown mug. I would have a Gordon Brown mug. I would smash a Tony Blair mug. 010
13FingerFX @danmartin.bsky.social · 24/05/2026Next Thursday I get to subject audiences to a favourite wtf movie of mine, courtesy of the generous hospitality of the lovely folks at My Eyes! My Eyes! It’s sort of a secret title but not really. I’ll also be making a clip show to go with it! 0101

13FingerFX @danmartin.bsky.social · 24/05/2026I get that you meant a game you play where you see if you can do it uninterrupted irl but I did also immediately think of you did a Gaussian splat of the are you could turn it into a mini-game that was like a cosy-core version of Exit 8. 020

13FingerFX @danmartin.bsky.social · 13/04/2026Oh, Seoul Station is amazing. I’d also recommend his other two animated features, The Fake and King of Pigs, but maybe just for you. 010
13FingerFX @danmartin.bsky.social · 12/04/2026That’s awesome! Do you think he’d vibe with Seoul Station? (Given that Train to Busan 2 is deeply underwhelming, imo) 110
13FingerFX @danmartin.bsky.social · 11/04/2026Found in the attic. Crazy to think how long ago this was. 0100
13FingerFX @danmartin.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Yes! Really getting down to the minutiae of all the different ways in which government can be corrupt/inept. 010
13FingerFX @danmartin.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Pitch for a TV series: A single camera, local government drama about the newly elected mayor (and the subsequent administrations- I see this thing as multi season) trying to deal with the Jason “situation” in the quiet hamlet of Crystal Lake. Kind of like if Friday the 13th did Shin Godzilla. 4120

13FingerFX @danmartin.bsky.social · 06/04/2026For a while I was trapped getting every release from a super boutique label reassembling & releasing Indonesian genre film. Each a limited edition of 20! Eventually Pig, (then a puppy) eating discs 1 and 2 in the series. It finally felt like it wasn’t worth bothering with the rest and I was free. 110
13FingerFX @danmartin.bsky.social · 06/04/2026Ha ha. I invested at the start so had 3 years of everything just sent to me. This year is my first on the regular subscription, I’ve seen embarking few of them but I really want to watch all of them. There’s just never enough time. 210
13FingerFX @danmartin.bsky.social · 06/04/2026Yeah, I think the collection is also becoming a way of bookmarking things I plan to watch, as it won’t all be available in a year or so, when I get round to being in the right place for them. 010
13FingerFX @danmartin.bsky.social · 29/03/2026It’s not historically accurate unless you get to drink the in-use preservation fluid with a friend. A friend you then have sent to the gulag because, while off his face on Leninade, he confides in you that he thinks your wife is hot? 140

13FingerFX @danmartin.bsky.social · 29/03/2026Radio 6 was playing Juice Newton’s Angel of the morning as I was driving today and I think the lyrics are “Just call me angel of the morning (angel) Just touch my teeth before you leave me, baby” How weird. (I am not looking to be corrected.) 130
