Someone needs to tell him that all the AI factories in the world won't make his kids talk to him.

Gottttta love waking up to sit on the toilet with a very full stomach for HALF AN HOUR unable to tell which end something's going to come out of before throwing up your partner's very nice - and thoroughly cooked - omelette.

Fiancé: "I look forward to your Twenty Words or Less-es." Me: "Me too!"

Most likely candidates RN are Muse and Sia. I am both anticipating and terrified of when that day arrives.

Dreading the day when @shadowtodd.bsky.social does a Trainwreckords episode on an album I actually own. I'm not truly prepared for an ep on an album by a band whose albums I've bought in the past (even if the Trainwreckord in Q isn't an album I own).

He just rang me to confirm he loved it, it's his film of the year, and he never wants to watch it again.

Anyway, this is what my fiancé said about the film:
I gaze into an abyss. A pryzm of shiny plastic filters my gaze, refracts it, and sells echoes of a lifetime. There is no hatred, there is no joy, there are no imperfections. There is not even anger. The ripples of a moment are caught, flash frozen, consumed by the abyss. The shine dims. I am left with my thoughts, and the soul once reflected in that simulacrum. It is silent. It is haunting. I seek the pryzm and its diminishing sheen, I seek the company of socket ghosts.Black: That was fucking haunting | Blue: Right?! Oh, welcome to the quote. Yeah, it's... I may give it a few years before watching it again | Black: Take it. I don't want to touch that, watch that, or intersect with that accursed glossy imprint of what we once were. That really upset me. I am drinking to feel something

Can Rotten Tomatoes verify me as a real critic so that I can add a review to "Babystar"'s page? Thank you!

Maybe I'm knackered, but this really made me laugh. It just sounds like a placeholder.

"The sound was so bad we walked out." Ooofff. Well I hope tonight's is better. Also, my fiancé's a huge fan and thus very envious of you.

Charles XII was only 15 when he took the throne. I have no doubt that his voice would have broken to SOME degree, but I think pitch-wise it would have been much closer to Linda Toni Grahn's than to Joakim Brodén's.

Mikey TWOL @twolofficial.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
It's about Charles XII of Sweden, and since there is no record of his actual voice we don't know how he sounded. HOW EV ever.

Hot take (and one that may ultimately lead to me doxing myself): Follow The Cipher's "Carolus Rex" (Eng) is better than Sabaton's.

Friendly reminder that silence and neutrality IS complicity. Ed Sheeran found that out the hard way.

I watched "Blade Runner" as young adult and thought "eh, it's fine". Might give it another shot now that I'm 9,285,782,343yrs older and probably able to appreciate it a bit more.

I swear the rise of streaming and the decline of actual album artwork are related.

Ouch, that sucks. Fiancé still hasn't seen it; he's hoping to do so next week. (This rant wasn't directed at anyone in particular, btw. You've probably already gathered that.)

And yes, I KNOW I literally have NO power on here (or on any platform actually), but I DO have passion, and a criticism of Internet bullshit which MIGHT reveal my age. That must count for something, right? Right??

Drunk!Mikey here: why in the all-seeing fuck aren't you all seeing "Coyote vs. Acme" given how much hell you raised about Warner trying to bury it? Put your fuckdamned money where your godforsaken mouth is, for fuck's sake. You turned out for "Obsession", turn out for this.
A screenshot of the Coyote vs Acme budget, listed as $70-72 million, and its box office, listed at $27 million.

Bonsoir/bonjour mes amis. Everyone who has been critical of major corporation bullshit should put their money where their mouth is and see "Coyote vs. Acme". Especially if you saw the markedly inferior "Project Hail Mary" a few months ago. C'est tout, très bien. Au 'voir.

TikTok is*. God damn, I shouldn't post when learning about new, leaky-brained discourse.

Apparently TikTok are trying to convince people that "Lesbian Space Princess" is the worst thing to happen to the LGBT+ community since the Reagan administration. And people are falling for it. Sigh.

Just had a look at my blog and apparently I have not done a review of Adam Wingard's "The Guest" despite having seen it multiple times and it (and Dan Stevens) being a fairly frequent topic of conversation between my fiancé and I. How has this not happened?!

Lee Chang-dong's "Burning". Also an apt description of my hatred for that film.

Obviously the Official Review will be posted when I am more sober (and also more likely to have gone to the cinema during that time).

I regret to inform you that Nolan's "The Odyssey" is quite good (from a non-classicist, Nolan-familiar POV). Shit.

Something that bothers me: why do Yanks pronounce 'oe' as 'ay' (like Ezra Koenig) or 'eh' (like David Koepp) when literally everyone else pronounces it 'oh' or 'er' (since IIRC 'oe' is another way of writing 'ö')? How the fuck do you get 'ay' from a phoneme consisting of the letters 'o' and 'e'???
