Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 05/10/2026It was utterly lovely. In the Q&A someone asked what her favourite Ghibli film is. She said “I’ll tell you my favourite scene from not just my favourite Ghibli but the greatest film of all-time” then beautifully retold Totoro’s bus stop scene in detail and with great pacing like a proper storyteller 000
Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Just got back from a talk by Helen McCarthy on the history and artistic influences of Studio Ghibli. Here was this small lady dressed head-to-toe in Totoro clothing being a walking encyclopaedia about everything, highlighting the influence of Shinto, de Chirico, Buddhism, French films on Miyazaki. 110
Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Saying this with a horrible head cold, but I'm so tired of the weather remaining in light summer mode. Bring back single digit temperatures please. 000
Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Watching this after years of caring for elderly people and just last week returning home from a trip to Wales where I accidentally took my mum up some mountain pass that was the highest highest road in the north of the country certainly gave it a lot of extra meaning. It's an incredible film. 000
Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I'm really going to indulge in this month's Sight & Sound. 000
Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Must be nice to have that kind of thing all the time. 110
Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 27/09/2026It has been far too long since I last watched that. Maybe twenty years. It's still burned vividly in my memory though. 110

Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I gave this album a listen in my early 20s, thought it was alright, then again in my early 30s and thought the same thing. Now at 42, this is one of the best things I've ever heard. I'm such an idiot. 000
Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Sweet, thanks! I'll try and snap one up and restrict myself from splurging on more which will no doubt be impossible. 010
Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Love the kitty but where did you get that clock?! I need it. 110

Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 06/09/2026That game is so damn dangerous. For the first five minutes you're thinking "this is pretty fun" then it's been 3 hours and all you can see is neon lights and dots. 110
Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 04/09/2026The sign that you've made it is getting into Kojima's studio and having your picture posted on the socials with him. Not bad, YouTube CGI and liminal space nerd. 000
Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Here's a really stupid video I made but I'm giggling at my own joke here. It combines music, gaming, and books into one. 000
Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Yeah, the huge budget, development time, and crunch is right there on the screen. It's impressive. 000
Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Picked up some cinema from a charity table. It stood out amongst all the rubbish airport romance literature, like a diamond in the rough. A movie you most watch happy view 000
Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Alright fine, I'll play it all again for the umpteenth time. 000
Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 24/08/2026It's been many years since the days of NoDo but for a brief moment they appeared to be making a comeback in a small car park in Leicester @broughy.com 110
Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Can't wait for this, love everything Jane Schoenbrun has done so far and this one sounds like it's aimed at me. 010
Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 15/08/2026A bit of a rollercoaster finding all this out about one of my old friends. Unfortunately we fell out and drifted apart. I wonder how he must've reacted or felt with all that. 000
Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 15/08/2026I read through the Wikipedia article about his dad and Chaka Khan and it suggests that he wasn't a great person to her. It also says one of the children he had with her (before my mate was born) was accused of killing someone with an M16 in 2006 although he was acquitted but found liable. 100
Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 15/08/2026The other day I found out that same guy was once married to Chaka Khan but they separated years before my friend was born to another mother. I remember even playing "I Feel For You" (as part of this DJ mix) to my friend during one of our many late night loud music sessions and he said nothing. 100
Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 15/08/2026...and there we were, a bunch of 18/19 year old art students smoking weed with the dad of one us while he was showing us all the storyboards of the dinosaurs and landscapes. That was a very odd scenario. 100
Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Oh the latest Optimism Vaccine (@jackeason.bsky.social) is about the director of Sound of Thunder. I was talking to @alephg.bsky.social about this the other day, back in 2002ish I was living in a student house with the son of the art director. His dad visited us from the set in Prague... 201
Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 14/08/2026The panic from hearing that wildfire text alert sound was like feeling the car I'm driving starting to slide while travelling at 70mph. 000
Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 07/08/2026I somehow forced myself to get through all of the first season and it was one of the most excruciating things I've ever done. One of the most naff, saccharine, cheap, laboured, annoying TV shows I've ever had the displeasure of watching. 010
Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 07/08/2026RIP William Orbit. He was one of pop's great producers. 000
Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I've been going through this series from the start and it's been fun, like slowly eating a big bowl of random pick and mix sweets, some delicious, some horrible (UB40 are inescapable). I've yet to discover some lost gem though, all the best songs are the ones we remember now. 010
Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 04/08/20267 is one my favourite things and I also love the remake but nostalgia is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Every time I tell myself I should check out another in the series, my dumb brain convinces me that there's no point because there's no Barrett, Tifa, Aeris, Red XIII, Sephiroth, Midgar, Junon... 000
Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 04/08/2026I've bought 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, and 10-2 yet the only Final Fantasy games I've played in my 42 years are 7, 7 Remake, and about 5% of 7 Rebirth. I also watched someone play 13 for a couple of hours if that counts. One day I will make amends. 100
Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 30/07/2026I really wanted to like that one because almost everything about it is made for me but found the vocals quite irritating. 010
Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 30/07/2026This was 1984. He's always been utterly shite even if the message is different. youtu.be/uNpyia78Wlg?...youtu.beCulture Club (Boy George) - The war Song 1984YouTube video by fritz51339 000
Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Named after the Pentangle album, I presume? Far from it, style-wise though. Synthy dreamy pop but the shouty and noisy shoegaze elements really lift it. Lovely stuff. 110
Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Nice of people to finally realise that Boy George is a massive bell-end. Always has been. 101

Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Yesterday I saw that Current 93 features on Bladee's latest album which came out in May, now I've learned David Cronenberg is on Charli XCX's which came out today. 000
Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Week 1 (heatwave): Car AC breaks, "booked for 8 days time" Week 2 (hot): Take it in, "part is broken, replacement is £700, return in 8 days to get it fitted" Week 3 (hot): Take it in again, they drain my money out, fit it in, AC still blows hot air. They're closed until Monday. 000
Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 20/07/2026If we're ignoring Talk to Me or Bring Her Back, I reckon it's probably the best of these brand new YouTuber movies and the one YouTuber I'm most interested in seeing another film from. 110
Rob B. driftin @rbdriftin.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Just the world cup traumatising me with Ted Lasso, one of the worst things to ever be released to the public by anyone. 000
