A real all-timer of a game. Those days of having four mates over for the multi-player are unforgettable!

Actually for Christmas there I just got myself Pilotwings 64 for a bit of a nostalgia blast. Still holds up!


That and Mariokart 64 are the best games that console had. Many a post pub session was had back in the day.

Room full of Proximity Mines and see which cunt flinches! Good times. Game is still hard as nails too.

Kneecap. Loved it. Never did a whole lot for me musically but I thought that was great. Good mix of degeneracy and nationalism.

Can't stand the "all fights shot from behind" to hide the stunt performer and edit the living shit out of it.

Now Roger Moore didn't do much stunts (blinks Everytime he used the gun), but he knew how daft everything was and went with it. Plus his run had such a high standard of craftsmanship with the production design (Even Stanley Kubrick helped them with lighting), stunt teams etc that they worked.
I didn't know that about Kubrick now and I'm a bond nerd. Best Bond was Connory in my opinion

From what I remember, they had budget issues on The Spy Who Loved me and one particular set had problems with lighting the miniatures that the accountants refused to give them more cash.

Ken Adams (?),the production designer who did Dr Strangelove as well as most of the Bonds, gave Stanley a call and he came down to help them sort it out.

Naked (1993), or in other words; Nihilism: The Film. Absolutely love this one. Oul Lupin is magic in it. Another one with hugely quotable dialogue too. I wonder too if the yuppie character was based on Patrick Bateman a little bit, the book would have just come out a couple of years before.

Fantastic film, you'd feel greasy after watching it.

Finally got around to Nosferatu, I really enjoyed it, when people said it's al about the atmosphere I thought it was going to be a bit slow but I found it had a great pace to it.

Skaarsgard was fantastic, Depp's kid was pretty good, I thought she was going to be awful when it was announced she was replacing the girl from The Witch.

Glad I made the trip to the pictures for it, looking forward to when it appears on the high seas for a rewatch.

By chance the night before I watched another new Nicholas Hoult film, Juror #2, directed by Clint Eastwood. Pretty good courtroom drama, he's still doing the job pushing 100 years of age tbf.

Just speaking of feeling greasy, have you ever seen The Golden Glove? That's about the greasiest I've ever felt after watching a film.

Naked is great, must watch it again some time.
Wild at Heart here tonight, had forgotten almost all of it so was pretty much like watching it for the first time. Dern gives such a good performance in it.

Same. Bobby Peru is top tier bonkers Dafoe! And Cage throwing shapes to Powermad.

It's my favorite Lynch movie.

Dafoe stole the show in Wild At Heart.

No, but it sounds like it's worth a look. If the source novel is available in English I might read it first.

Thewlis is fantastic in it, gonna have to dig out the DVD one for the days for a rewatch.


Rewatched Den Of Thieves last night. It might be the gym bro version of Heat, but it's extremely well made movie and hits all the marks.

Everyone says it's great but I'd have a hard time convincing myself to watch it. I put on the music once on Spotify out of curiosity but I had to turn it off after less than 2 minutes.

I'm a fields/hedges/wind/sky type of nationalist. I can't see myself having much in common with these tracksuit n balaclavas urban lads from Belfast pushing the Irish language. I love the English language and was never bothered with Irish personally.

Also, they are young. Probably in their 20s. I hate those sanctimonious cunts.
