Went to the latest Bond recently. Utterly dull.... Bland, James Bland. They spent too long trying to humanise Bond as well, love interest with a kid that's supposedly his... he's not supposed to be humanised, he is a brutal, cold bastard with a penchant for one-liners. They've tried to do this a couple of times in the series - never really works.

Dog Soldiers is impeccable.

Due a rewatch. Mainly for Spoon - what a man.

Getting tabloid shite in the news feed on my phone about a "drastic and ominous weather change for Ireland". Sun is shining, get ta fuck ye cunts with yer misery

Weatherprognosticators have got it wrong quite a lot lately despite the alarming reports of 'sudden cold' and 'possible hail/snow' the last few months - certainly in Cork City there was none of it, beside a bit of sleet.

Have taken a look at Guillermo Del Toro's The Strain on Star/D+. Not too shabby at all - Nosferatu type vamps, a shadowy vamp cabal with an SS Nazi vamp, vampirism as host disease - all good stuff. Some of the acting is a bit stagey but overall quite good.

Death Angel - The Ultra Violence
Exodus - Fabulous Disaster
Annihilator - Alice In Hell
Overkill - Under The Influence

Old school thrash attack FTW.

Both Wonder Woman films are shit, I can't see what the fuss was about with the first one.

I didn't mind Man Of Steel and enjoyed elements of Batman vs. Superman. Just bits though, mostly some visuals.

Ah, the first WW wasn't too bad - though it was attempting to do the same thing as Captain America: The First Avenger - just in the First World War. Grand enough - like I said, fairly high tolerance for this stuff, also been a Marvel head since I was a wee'un... 80s XMen storylines and so forth.
It just looks like the DC movies are floundering really with their output... pretty directionless. Sure, Zack Snyder will sort them all out, with massive slo-mo shots  .

More I'm hearing about the Wonder Woman sequel, the less I want to see it. I have a high tolerance for superheroic fluff - but Marvel are certainly strides ahead of what drivel WB/DC are pumping out. Has there been one of those recent DC films of any use yet apart from, maybe, Joker?

Well, since Disney+ have put their Star "Grownup" section in, have checked out Cronenberg's The Fly for the first time in yonks.
That sure ain't wholesome family fare. But it is bloody great. "Penetration beyond the veil of flesh!"

Picked up Disco Elysium. Bloody hell - there's some worldcrafting gone into this. Best point/click RPG adventure in terms of storytelling I've seen in a while.

Fall Of Efrafa - Owsla / Elil / Inlé : Warren Of Snares. Post-crust magnificence.

Coroza-Chaliceburner.

The more correct allegory would have been the Beer Hall Putsch. Some are already calling the Capitol Hill riot the Beerbelly Putsch.

Dolemite Is My Name. Eddie Murphy still has it.

Cult Of Luna - The Raging River.
