Went to see the new Thor film. Fairly rubbish for the most part. Tried too much to ape the parts that worked in Ragnarok but just fell flat here.

Christian Bale was great though but severely underutilised. There was a good sequence in the shadowrealm with Bales character and it could've been a far better movie if they'd gone for more of that tone instead. Apparently heaps of Bale scenes were cut for the theatre release so maybe we might see it one day.

Everything Everywhere All At Once.

I liked it, but I don't think I was in the right mood to watch something so frantic, it's a bit mad and it doesn't stop for a second.

Rewatched 'Hunger' last night with the Mrs. 'unflinching' as the critics might say.

The scene with Fassbender and Cunningham was pure class.

I watched The Two Popes yesterday. Essentially a long conversation between Ratzinger and Bergolio, spread over the years between Ratzinger becoming pope and when Bergolio took the post, with a bit of backstory for the latter. Excellent watch, two great performances from the leads.

I had that on but I'll have to watch it again because I was transmogrified at the time and I've only a vague recollection of it being on rather than anything that happened

Got through 4 Voivod albums. Wrote the name on that and the next one had

Ministry - Psalm 69
Dillinger Escape Plan + Mike Patton - Irony is a Dead Scene

Fantastic the both of them.

Edit: Dare I suggest that the DEP/Patton stuff is some of the best from either of them. 3 brilliant tracks altogether.

Here's an absolute fuckin curveball;

Paradise Lost - Self Titled. I wonder how I'll get on with these attempts at teen angst anthems jesus these lads have been fair oul chameleons over the years but I suppose it'd be hard to give up the draw of a hungry crowd

Oh for fuck's sake I'm after putting that in the wrong place altogether well fuck it anyway

Yeah I was thinking this lad is after getting through a few yokes and a bag of cans :)



There were cans indeed but only enough to act as a flavour enhancer. Haven't seen a yoke in ages they're very scarce around.

Its all powdered shite now, at least here in Spain. Some laugh though.

I went to see Top Gun today. Ripper. It looked incredible, I thought. I fine follow up.

Girlfriend's Day. Ludicrous but entertaining.

Watched Death On The Nile last night. Pretty decent watch, well directed with a nice pace and good acting. I've never read any of the books now so not sure how close it is the original material.
