At the Superman premiere in Cineworld Dublin 🦸🏻‍♂️ I brought my sister along for her first IMAX experience (even though she knows next to nothing about superheros 😭) Looking forward to the movie, especially with positive comments from those at the world premiere last night! @jamesgunn.bsky.social

Been playing around with the #iOS 26 developer beta and am really loving this lock & home screen combo 🤩 (and yes, I do have no icons on my home screen as I just use the app library and spotlight)

Screenshot showing an iPhone lock screen. The clock is stretched to appear very tall and has a "liquid glass" appearance. The background is a dynamic illustration featuring Miles Morales from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, mid-air with one arm raised, overlooking a futuristic cityscape with tall, angular buildings and glowing neon lights, some of which are inverted. The color palette is dark with splashes of red and blue. The clock stretches down to just above Miles' head

Screenshot showing the iPhone homescreen with no icons on the page aside from the dock containing phone, messages, app store and chrome. The icons have a dark theme with a blue tint to compliment the blues in the wallpaper

He may not have his big ass but everything else about him sure is big. He towers over my existing figures without even being on the base 🤯 His arms are also like twice as thicc as my Tom Holland Spider-Man figure's arms 😳

Photo showing two Spider-Man figures from Hot Toys. On the left is the Advanced Suit 2.0 figure from Spider-Man 2 standing on the included hexagonal base. On the right is the Spider-Man 2099 figure from Across the Spider-Verse who is not standing on a base but is much taller than the other figure

Back in Cineworld Leicester Square to watch Wicked yet again in IMAX 2nd time in IMAX, 4th time overall

Image showing the IMAX screen in Cineworld Leicester Square displaying the flowing text:

WELCOME TO THE BIGGEST IMAX EXPERIENCE IN THE UK

Are you ready to see your favourite stars shine bigger and brighter than ever before?

In just a few minutes, you're going to witness the most exotic colours ever seen on screen. This 87-foot wide screen is illuminated with dual 4K projectors, offering 100% greater brightness and 5 times more contrast compared to industry norms. This matters because it gives us true blacks, making scenes like space and darkness feel even more lifelike. So sit back and get ready to be taken out of your world and into the movie. You won't believe your eyes... and ears. We've added four ceiling speakers above you and two side speakers on either side to deliver greater dynamic range and precision with more sound than ever before.

This is no ordinary IMAX. This is IMAX with Laser. The only IMAX in the West End.
London's premiere destination and home to the stars. You may even be sitting in the same seat that once sat Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Halle Berry, Sandra Bullock, Tom Cruise, Eddie Redmayne or Jude Law. This is a place where no mission is impossible and magic exists. It's the widest screen with the largest picture in all of the UK*. It's the best place to watch a movie. You've arrived. This is the IMAX with Laser experience at Cineworld Leicester Square.

Just watched Gran Turismo in 4DX, you can find my review below or on Letterboxd at boxd.it/4GdCLF

4 star & liked Letterboxd review of "Gran Turismo", review text is as follows:

Woah, what an amazing story

This movie really got me invested in Jann's journey to becoming a real driver (and yes Sony, it has made me want to play Gran Turismo so I'll be downloading that when I get home. Congrats, your marketing pitch of a movie did its job)

Unfortunately, there were some aspects of the movie that made me lose the immersion, knocking it down to 4 stars. It features a couple scenes with a CG car around Jann while playing the game which, in my opinion at least, was not necessary (though it looked cool) and really hurt the realism. There was also numerous times where random PS5 UI SFX played which had zero reason to be there and had zero consistency in *when* they played

All in all, a fun film and a tremendous 4DX experience.
