Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Cinéart kondigt normaal binnenkort een Belgische release aan! 000
Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I've had similar thoughts about The Great Gig in the Sky (A5) and Money (B1). That moment of silence during the flipping feels almost necessary to have the complete Dark Side experience. 030
Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 30/08/2026In my happiest dreams, the Cinematek offers me carte blanche for a screening series and it's just all the P&P features from Blimp to The Red Shoes, a virtually unparallelled streak of great films. Maybe add on Tales of Hoffmann as a digestif. 000
Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 30/08/2026📽 The Belgian Cinematek has released its fall schedule and made me a very happy bunny by including screenings of THE LIFE AND DEATH OF COLONEL BLIMP and I KNOW WHERE I'M GOING!, two masterpieces by Powell & Pressburger featuring the great Roger Livesey. 140
Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 20/08/2026He's endorsed Talarico, not Paxton. www.newsweek.com/james-talari...newsweek.comJames Talarico endorsed by attorney accusing opponent Ken Paxton of theftThe endorsement comes as the race remains close, with recent polls showing Talarico and Paxton trading narrow leads. 120

Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 24/07/2026As a European Sixers fan-cum-cinephile who avoids most US sports news outlets, of course this is the post that breaks the news to me. At any rate:static.klipy.comShiit SheeshALT: Shiit Sheesh 010
Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Missed the talk due to being out of the country, but, as with any good folk horror story, The Event always leaves its remnants in the soil (or, in this case, a shelf at Waterstones) 020
Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 22/06/2026"This is Yesterday's Hero by John Paul Young! Christ I'm outta shape." 000
Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 31/05/2026Or Basil from accounting ordering prints in bulk to cut costs. Fucking Basil. 020
Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 30/05/2026Oh, bonus pet peeve points if the painting is so well known that seeing it in a random corridor just breaks the suspension of disbelief even more. #endrant 000
Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 30/05/2026I sort of get it from a storage-efficiency or asset priority angle, especially in games with lots of interiors (AC: Unity comes to mind), but overdoing it can genuinely break immersion for me. Especially when there are sooo many paintings in the public domain to choose from. 100
Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 30/05/2026One of my #videogame pet peeves is when devs create lavish and intricate settings, like palaces or museums or whatnot, but then reuse the same 5 paintings to decorate the walls. See the two paintings in the image below? There's actually a third copy just out of frame. In the same small office! 220
Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 25/05/2026"There was blood and a single gunshot, but just who shot who?" Not to be pedantic, detective Manilow, but this shouldn't be that hard to figure out. 000
Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Zal je niet beklagen - ik zat er zo in dat ik deze achievement kreeg op Steam en oprecht dacht 'oh jammer, geen inpakpuzzels meer' 020
Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 16/05/2026That being said, with Zero Parades and 007 following later in May, this will probably turn out to be my busiest month, gamewise, in quite a few years. 000
Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 16/05/2026Being a responsible adult also means taking time to finish Mixtape (excellent), Wax Heads (great and IP-worthy) and Call of the Elder Gods (not as good as CotS, still good) to free up the schedule for Forza Horizon 6... Only to discover after the fact that FH6's PS5 release is probably months away. 291
Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 11/05/2026"People who have passions are hot, you know? I'm just a series of after-school programs." I'm sorry, I thought I bought a video game about some American teens listening to cool tunes, not a mirror into my own adolescence. 010
Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 20/04/2026This is kinda sending me. I bought #Bloodborne on its European release day, March 25th 2015. I just turned 22 and would start my first job two weeks later. Flash forward 11 years, and here's me getting the Platinum trophy. So much has happened since then. But Bloodborne still rocks. 010
Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 09/01/2026Fine exhibition, just a shame they didn't have the cane. 000
Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 02/01/2026A nice parallel in my logs: It's a Wonderful Life was my second log of the year and my second-to-last one. This might have something to do with my becoming a father again in between the two viewings, but I cried harder the second time. 000
Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 02/01/2026Did I watch Planes, Trains and Automobiles on the 31st of December just to reach 100 films logged? Maybe... Great film though, Candy is a powerhouse. 100
Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 02/01/2026Nothing too surprising here, but the idea that Magaro's 30-second role as "voice of sex offender" in The Materialists probably pushed him into the top slot did give me a chuckle. I recognized his voice too, so the inclusion is fully earned. #Letterboxd 📽️ 110
Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 31/12/2025Ooh I love that map! (And not just because it gives the impression that Belgium has conquered Germany and Luxembourg.) 010
Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 10/12/2025Ik verwacht vanavond een tegenbod van @belgiangames.be: Samson of het Liegebeest. 161
Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 22/09/2025Look how happy he is. GDT just living his best life. Getting Netflix deals (including the elusive theatrical release) for his passion projects. Hanging out with Godzilla. Protect this man at all costs! 010
Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 27/08/2025First watch of The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974) yesterday. Might be one of the top ten endings of all time.

Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 23/08/2025I also spent a day at Rock en Seine, which must be the only festival banning beef from its food stands whilst also having a stand where you can buy vapes. Aaah, the French. 000
Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 23/08/2025Some random thoughts after another three days in #Paris: - The renovated interior of Notre Dame is better than I expected (the lighting is great) - Montmartre still blows - Keeping up a diet in Paris is intensely difficult - Cinema culture is the best, so much respect for new films and revivals 110

Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 09/08/2025Oh, the time factor in the game is just a plot point; there's no actual in-game deadlines or timers. You can take as long as you want playing and finishing it. I totally get that you'd want to play games to get away from deadlines and stress. 110
Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 09/08/2025Well, Four Travelers is completely free on Steam so you can dive right in! It's the only game of the four that's isometric (and gorgeously styled). But An English Haunting is great also, it has fun puzzles that never overstepped my own logical reasoning and had a nice falling-dominoes structure. 100
Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 09/08/2025You might think about canceling your Sunday plans as well because it's by far the longest one on the list, playing both seasons will easily run up to about 10 hours :) 100
Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 09/08/2025(Re)visited this pixel-horror quartet. They're similar but different and I love them. All great examples of how to capture time/place/mood without photorealistic graphics, treat mature subjects without feeling exploitative and provoke a sense of dread through expressive writing, music and visuals. 4258
Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 14/07/2025Not the biggest fan of the new #Superman movie BUT the casting and characterization were excellent, which hopefully bodes well for future installments. Also, VERY pleased with this: 010

Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 29/06/2025I thought this one would be kind of hard with how popular Letterboxd has become, but it turns out there's a bunch of great movies needing some more love. 140

Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 07/06/2025It's such a weird criticism. Wes has released 13 films in 30 years. There's been a couple thousand films released in that period that don't look like Wes Anderson films. If his signature style is so annoying, maybe... watch more movies? We absolutely have room to let singular artists be singular! 010

Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 31/05/2025The artwork was featured in the recent exhibition chronicling the Nazi treatment of modern art at the Picasso museum in Paris. A very poignant experience, sadly with more than a few current day echoes. 010
Jules Maenhaut @julesmaenhaut.bsky.social · 31/05/2025Otto Freundlich's painting 'Homage to the people of colour'. Freundlich's work was featured in the infamous 1937 'Degenerate Art' exhibition in Munich. In 1943, Freundlich was deported to Sobibor concentration camp, where he was murdered. 120
