Paul Davidson @elementalpaul.bsky.social · 18hI think I'll be giving Digger a miss. Based on reviews my instincts on watching the trailers appears to have been borne out. 001

Paul Davidson @elementalpaul.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I'm tired and at first glance misread this as 'Chegger's Resident Evil earns praise'. A kid's TV show being overrun by people infected by the T-virus would probably be pretty scary. 000

Paul Davidson @elementalpaul.bsky.social · 15/09/2026After watching Avengers: Endgame (I'd forgotten how emotional it is) this evening, I've gone straight on to Loki.

Paul Davidson @elementalpaul.bsky.social · 09/09/2026After seeing the final trailer for Digger I'm still not sold on it. If the film is supposed to have an 'off' vibe then it looks like it's succeeding in spades. #Digger 000
Paul Davidson @elementalpaul.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Very odd how Trump spells 'dumocrats' without a 'b', given that he keeps banging on about how not a lot of people know that there's a 'b' in dumb. Of course, everyone knows how dumb is spelt. Trump himself only recently learnt this information and, for some reason, feels the need to evangelise. 021

Paul Davidson @elementalpaul.bsky.social · 28/08/2026I feel like Coyote vs. Acme is being targeted at a younger audience, which is weird because Gen X-ers want to see their favourite Looney Tunes characters from their childhood back on the big screen.
