Pete Baran @pb14.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Still anither mornin' and never a word or a sign o' him. Eh, me! The sun's gettin' through, so we'll be wearin' oor braws to the kirk the day. 000
Pete Baran @pb14.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Watching Resistant Evil I've seen all the Resident Evil films in the cinema and enjoyed all of them for some degree of enjoyment, but this is the first one that I would vaguely suggest was good.Played as a relentless horror comedy,Cregger has a charismatic klutz in the lead,like when you play badly 000
Pete Baran @pb14.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Watching Hope Reliably bonkers and textured Korean monster movie that becomes a few other things before it finishes and you all say the tagline on the poster. Is this how it ends? 010
Pete Baran @pb14.bsky.social · 02/10/2026It does sort of become a weird disco parody of The Warriors in its last ten minutes which isn't without its fascinating aspects 000
Pete Baran @pb14.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Watching Disco Bumpkins Pretty hopeless Shaw Brothers musical comedy where an inept, clumsy disco fan falls in love with the head of an ad agency and despite him damaging her car and destroying her flat she still gives him the time of day. Songs are weird and interesting but it's a very odd thing 100
Pete Baran @pb14.bsky.social · 01/10/2026The main problem is the lack of sync from the audio from the needle and what is sent, which creates cognative dissonance. If I could do it with a wire I would 110
Pete Baran @pb14.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I use a bloodtooth sender and play it through the soundbar 300
Pete Baran @pb14.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Watching Jazz Ramsey: A K-9 Mystery Because TV supervillains need Hallmark mystery movies. Our improbable amateur sleuth here is Jazz Ramsey, and actually the most improbable thing is her name as her gimmick is she trains police dogs, which are actually quite handy when you need to solve a crime 100
Pete Baran @pb14.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Watching The Rivals Of Amziah King This is a wonderful: a shaggy dog bluegrass honey noir, with Matthew McConaughy as the beekeeping banjo player embroidered in stolen honey. He's great, the music fantastic and the turns it takes with co-lead Angelina LookingGlass are the definition of thrilling 021

Pete Baran @pb14.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Watching Forgotten Sweeties Not the most elegant of Charley Chase comedies but like most has a bravura sequence where he scares off the brutish jealous husband he's trapped with by drawing two ghosts on his feet. Also Anita Garvin one punches out said husband which is impressive 000
Pete Baran @pb14.bsky.social · 27/09/2026We all know where that leadsstatic.klipy.comTrain SpottingAlt: The worst toilet in Scotland Trainspotting 000
Pete Baran @pb14.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Watching Young Washington In which it appears the entire American War Of Independence happened because some posh Brit wouldn't let George Washington be an officer in the British Army. 000
Pete Baran @pb14.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Watching A Season To Blossom A 'reconnecting with hometown ex' Hallmark where she inherits a failing bookstore and he runs a cider orchard. Sentimentally serious and filmed in February as the orchards look dead, but this becomes a plot point as climate crisis ruins the blossom season 000
Pete Baran @pb14.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Did you see this? 21 years ago, and admitted not very good 300
Pete Baran @pb14.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Though there should be a Freepost address people can send their Harry Potter related stuff to be destroyed or turned into some massively obvious protest work of art 020
Pete Baran @pb14.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I've missed this, are they woke because the blokes on the clips look like bears on their way to the club 200

Pete Baran @pb14.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Pillsbury owns the trademark for the phrase Bake-Off in the US, so they had to rename it 010
Pete Baran @pb14.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Watching Sh! The Octopus Horror Of Fang Rock with an Octopus. Is the Octopus a nefarious super criminal gang leader, or an actual octi. Or both. Abbott And Costello level japery enhanced by not having Bud or Lou, its frenetic but has great effects and bonus points for using the one true plot 010
Pete Baran @pb14.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Watching The Moon And Back Sweet little griefer coming of age drama. After her Dad dies, Lydia discovers a schlocky sci-fi script he wrote and decides to make it for a school project. Pretty funny, hits the right notes and has a terrific central performance from Isabel May. Efficient at 74 minutes 000
Pete Baran @pb14.bsky.social · 25/09/2026This does not engage in any way with the Sondheim it is named after or the Bergmann that adapts It remains unclear what law is actually being broken by delivering pianos to a gazebo but I'm sure Chesterton's Law applies It is very rare for a Hallmark romance to have cop protagonist because ACAB 000
Pete Baran @pb14.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Watching A Little Park Music She is the city manager tasked with removing a gazebo He's a new cop who tickets her for jaywalking Pianos start turning up in the gazebo, every time she tries to knock it down. Apparently mystery pianos are agin the law so they team up to discover who did it. Romance? 100
Pete Baran @pb14.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Is there a suggested figure to bet? Can you bet in pounds or is it euros only? 100
Pete Baran @pb14.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Watched Sleepway Camp Pre Camp Miasma viewing since it is such a core text.Whilst basicallyally a Friday 13th rip,it's fascinating to see the quotidian summer camp horrors of kids being mean, the embedded camp within the lousy acting, and that ending: obliterating its final girl in a fascinating way 000
Pete Baran @pb14.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Mutina seems to fit with Terra better, though Mutina's arc may be Terra in reverse (keep Deadpool away from her just in case) 100
Pete Baran @pb14.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Watching Return To Silent Hill This is on me,I've not liked any Silent Hill movies and the director of the first is back for more incoherent stringing together of videogame set pieces (creepy kids,spidercreatures,mazes) with a thoroughly tedious lead character. Like a terrible old school game movie 000
Pete Baran @pb14.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Watching In Gay Madrid Largely a rerun of Navarro's silent hit The Student Prince In Old Heidelberg, this has the quite gay Navarro as a philandering student sent to Santiago De Compostela where he won't get up to any mischief. He gets up to mischief 001
Pete Baran @pb14.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Watching The Isolate Thief Decent calling card Western where Mackenzie Foy is alone in a Union outpost at the end of the civil war.Joey Pants turns up and hides some gold which she finds,then Sean Bean and his soldiers turn up and battle of wits becomes battle of guns. Nothing new but still gripping 000
