Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil is so good. I have no fucking idea why any fan of the franchise would hate on it. The film feels like a fucking video game, with the lead character finding himself in a number of distinct ‘zones’. And the body horror creations are spot on. Go see if you haven’t already.

Went to watch Transformers The Movie for its 40th anniversary. That film barely stops for its 85 minutes. It’s still loads of fun. Way better than the Michael Bay nonsense. And the little short at the end was very nice.

Technically speaking, the GameCube is 25 years old this week (though we in the UK didn’t see it until 2002). Despite it being considered a flop, it’s probably the console I’ve loved the most. So many brilliant games, though some Nintendo franchises were better served than others.

Ed Sheeran is a coward. He could have stood up to the stadium owners but he chose not to.

I think I’m almost done with Fallout 4. Having all the DLC content meant it felt like too much. Trying to now race through the end of the main story. Think I’ll stick with the Railroad rather than jumping ship to the Institute. I dumped the Brotherhood as soon as I could.

Saw both the Camp Miasma movie and The Incomer. Both excellent movies. Both a little bit weird. Still meaning to see The End of Oak Street but I guess it’s had very little buzz around it so maybe it’s not something I should worry about missing.

As a traditional SNP voter, I can’t help thinking that shrinking the health boards down to two is a terrible idea. The west will become heavily Glasgow-centric. The east Edinburgh-centric. Things will likely get worse for everybody else.

The Apple TV love continues as my wife and I finally give Slow Horses a go. Really enjoyed that first season.

Catching up with The Studio and really enjoying it (so far). A show about Hollywood that’s very cinematic-literate.

Heard today of a genuine incident of someone changing their plans to stay in Glasgow (overnight) because of the BBC documentary. Feel like I need to watch it. My guess from the reports, is that there will be zero balance.

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Binge watched another cancelled show. The Copenhagen Test was a fun spy romp that had shades of Bourne, Bond, Wick and countless other movies of the same genre. But it was good fun. The performances were good. Kinda wanted to see how crazy it was all going to get. Was it going to go all Alias on us?

Had to drop down to easy because my patience had worn thin but finally finished Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. That last boss fight was too long. Given the full heal Cloud for the last fight, why couldn’t they make that a save checkpoint? Easy was too easy in the end.

The early island hops in The Odyssey reminded me of our Curse of Strahd D&D campaign. Go to a place. Encounter a thing. Realise thing is more powerful than you. Run away.

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

For my own sanity, I think I have to concede and drop the level for the final battle in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Life’s too short and I’m clearly rubbish. And every time I fully quit out, I need to play over an hour of boss fight all over again. Absolutely infuriating.

100

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

Enjoyed Spider-man: Brand New Day. Continues to be one of the best characters in the MCU. The other MCU characters dropping in were a nice touch that reminds us he’s part of a bigger thing, but this is his story.

Everything Trump touches turns to shit. He’s even ruined football. There’s no way he hasn’t been part of this FIFA debacle.

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

I hate to think the damage done to Glasgow’s reputation after the anti-immigration gathering that took place yesterday - whilst we host 70-odd countries for the Commonwealth Games. And this comes after me mentioning how welcoming the city was the previous weekend for Glasgow Pride.

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

Saw Moana (remake) yesterday. I enjoyed it because it’s pretty much an exact copy of the animation and I really like the animation. Don’t need to see it again because I really like the animation. Still think Jungle Book and Beauty and the Beast were the high points of this current Disney trend.

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

Played Wondrous Creatures last night for the first time and I’m frustrated at the fact that I just never got an engine going. Never got refresh creatures. The one infinity creature I drew needed me to have refresh creatures. I basically went all in on instants. Came a distant second.

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

With Sarwar going, the top spot for Scottish Labour will be up for grabs. Hope someone campaigns on untethering themselves from UK Labour.

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

So Anas Sarwar is quitting Holyrood for the House of Lords. Tells me everything I already knew about Anas Sarwar. The guy craves power and as far as he’s concerned, true power comes from Westminster. It’s interesting how easily failed Holyrood party leaders flock to the HoL.

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

Watched the Doomsday trailer and it looks….fine. I think my issue with Doom being the big bad in the big crossover movie is that it hasn’t been earned. Thanos and the Infinity Stones was there throughout the movies that built to Avengers Infinity War.

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

The best team won the World Cup. I do wish Spain had more threat up front. Had they scored earlier, I think we’d have got a better game. Trump at the end was a total riddy. He’s such a narcissist. Infantino trying to get him out the way was pretty funny.

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

Everyone needs to read ‘We Need To Tax Billionaires’. It’s a short read. Western civilisation is on the verge and the growing wealth gap is leading to its collapse. A wealth tax with zero loopholes. A wealth tax that follows you if you try to leave the country to live in a tax haven.

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

Glasgow Pride was on in the city today whilst I was through there getting a haircut. This is the Glasgow I know and love. One that not only accepts folk for who they are, it celebrates them for who they are. A far cry from the bigoted nonsense coming from the ‘staunch brigade’ in their balaclavas.

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

Been watching Traitors US with my wife. The finale is so fucking infuriating. A certain person was too fucking trusting of someone who shouldn’t have been trusted. They deserved to lose.

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

So Burnham is a climate science denier, he’s under the thumb of the oil&gas lobby, or he’s trying to appease orange Mussolini in Washington. Regardless of his reason to authorise further oil extraction, he’s showing that he’s not the progressive messiah and that he’s still a Blairite deep down.

111

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

Enjoyed Ready or Not 2 apart from some man on woman violence that I just found a bit uncomfortable to watch. The ridiculousness of people just exploding into a bloody mess at least made up for some of the uncomfortableness. Two leads and the support cast are all top notch.

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

I’m at the fourth stage of a boss fight and my controller lost power. If it makes me start from the beginning I won’t be happy. My only main grumble for both FFVII remakes is the length and frequency of boss fights towards the end of the game.

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

Been playing Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on Switch 2 and whilst exploration can be a bit clunky at times, the battle system is good and the storytelling is sublime. I presume we’ll get the third part. Hope Square Enix revisit VIII in a similar fashion.

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Thank fuck for that. Didn’t feel nice supporting Argentina but as someone who lives in Scotland, who has had to deal with English punditry and commentary for as long as I remember, I had no other choice. Hope Spain wins it.

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

So looks like Burnham is going to be as much of a disappointment as Starmer was. That’s…..disappointing.

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Was saddened to hear about Sam Neill. He seemed like a genuinely good guy and I really enjoyed his work. Don’t think Dead Calm gets enough recognition these days. My memory of that was that it was a thoroughly thrilling ride. Must look to see if that’s easily available to watch.

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

Feeling like Job today. My life is already stressful between my wife’s cancer situation and work. Today I’m stuck in a Morrison’s car park in Edinburgh waiting for the car breakdown recovery person to see what the hell is wrong with my car and to get me home. Feels like the final straw…

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

Really wish boardgame developers would playtest more on actual tables - and actual tables that people own. There are games that are almost certainly prototyped on TTS (or equivalent). A platform where everyone can easily see everything on the board(s). Often that doesn’t match the real experience.

150

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

Fuck!!!! That’ll be them then. Guess I’ll be cheering Argentina or Switzerland in the semis.

110

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

Got Norway in the sweep so of course I have to watch the game. But I don’t have much hope for the result I want/need. Still think the other half of the draw has had the better teams. The overall winner should come from France or Spain.

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

Trump turned the whole world against the US football team last night with his ridiculous intervention - and FIFA’s stupid decision to comply. So happy that Belgium won. So happy to have Belgium finally turn up at the tournament.

000

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

Happy for the England fans even though I wanted Mexico to win. It’s the insufferable punditry that comes with England winning that I can’t stand. It ruins every World Cup that they participate in.

000

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

Saw both Supergirl and Minions & Monsters at the weekend and I enjoyed both. Supergirl took a while for me to fully engage. The first fight didn’t do it for me. But I eventually warmed to the character and that got me more invested. The Minions film is my favourite of the three Minions movies.

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

ITV pundits can go fuck themselves for the disrespect they showed Norway. Norway won their group ahead of Italy. They’d be here if the format was expanded or not.

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

Referee in Paraguay v France game had an absolute shocker. How no Paraguayan got booked in that game is a mystery. Ref basically gave them free licence to rough up the French as much as they liked.

110

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

BBC commentators manage to talk about England (and how shit they’ve been) during the France game. The eternal frustration for non-English British football fans. At least they’ve stopped going on about ‘66.

100

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

All three teams from Germany’s group are out. Same with the Netherlands. Yet the two from our (Scotland) are in to the last 16. We were in a tough group. I get that the way we played football was bad but the odds of us getting to the last 32 was overly hyped and not based on reality.

171

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

Enjoyed watching The American Experiment on Netflix. It doesn’t shy away from pointing out that Trump is the antithesis of what a President was supposed to be. And actually says that Congress today is not doing its duty when it allows him to act like a King.

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

Just found out that Ponies got cancelled. This makes me sad as I really enjoyed that show. We only recently got it here in the UK.

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

Ecuador winning is pretty much a guarantee that Scotland is done in this World Cup. Glad I got to see us on this stage again. Growing up, it felt like Scotland were always at the World Cup - 1994 being the one we missed out.

100

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

This ‘do Scotland deserve to go through’ rhetoric needs to stop. If we meet the criteria to go through, we deserved it. If we don’t, we didn’t. And stop saying the expansion is how we got there. We topped our qualifying group above Denmark and Greece.

000

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

Certainly tough being a Scotland fan. Reckon we’ll end up being the worst or second worst 3rd place team.

Paul @pdunn75.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

Backrooms was excellent. Proper unsettling. A little bit WTF! Elements of Blair Witch. A little bit Barbarian. Mostly unique weirdness. Might actually give me nightmares.
