I had to go see this on my own as everyone I knew was working or had plans already. I was genuinely surprised by how many people were at the showing at 12:20pm. And it was a diverse audience, both young and older.

The movie was great, it gave me my Demon Slayer fix. It was quite a long film and in my mind I kept thinking “Ok, it’s going to end at any moment now on a cliffhanger.” I look forward to it coming to streaming so I can watch it again.

If you haven’t tried it, it’s worth giving Monster Train 2 a go, it’s given me lots of playtime and they recently released an update.

I liked the little suggestion by Pelia at the start of the episode that she spent time with a time travelling doctor. The rest of the episode the writing felt a bit too rushed.

I’m happy that Pike got the chance to live a happy life, but Batel’s story felt pretty weak and quickly thrown together.

This season has been -okay-, weakest season so far, but still better than Discovery.

I made bangers and mash this evening, and put it into a large Yorkshire pud.

I don’t know if it would be named differently.

Ah that’s fair!

I’m probably remembering wrong but The Longest Yard doesn’t have a love interest in it does it?

I enjoyed the episode overall, only gripe was Ortega being able to build anything she needs on the fly out of anything.

My cats do this sometimes. Nothing to be concerned about as far as I’m aware. My cats are happy and healthy!

In the UK, the go to when speaking to the taxi driver used to be “So…been busy?” It was a really strange urge to ask every time.

I haven’t used a taxi in many years, so not sure if that’s changed.

It has a loose story to get to the center of the universe, but I can’t say I’ve ever made it there as I always end up doing other things

Just got a newborn so lots of movie watching when not looking after the little sack of meat or trying to sleep.

Barbie Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone Rush Hour Ghostbusters Back in Action Nonna’s Nimona

The list goes on but those are the ones that come to mind. I need something new to watch to help get me through this newborn period…

I don’t know a great deal, but his stance on the Russia/Ukraine war concerns me.

I loved the musical episode. It was 100% silly, but I enjoyed it for it!

I remember it because one is a bumper and the other is a trigger. Bumper like the front of a car, and a trigger like…a trigger.

I personally prefer the asymmetric joysticks over the playstation symmetrical ones. RB, RT is descriptive of the button itself. B being Bumper and T being trigger.

I do agree with you in the shapes being more memorable though.

I couldn’t stand Jason Statham. Then many years ago I watched Spy with Melissa McCarthy and he was the perfect piss take of his characters from so many other movies. Example scene that shows his comedic stupidity. Ever since I haven’t minded the guy.

Or say goodbye on the phone, they just hang up…

There were restrictions in the UK before this latest measure got put in place, ISP providers provide it so parents could manage it. But my guess is a large proportion of parents were either too stupid to use, didn’t care, or simply didn’t know. Broadband parental control.

When I originally saw this report on another source, the key standout for me was how many people were beaten by the AI, and the fact the winner was 5% ahead, which really is a small margin. It was being touted as “Yay we beat the AI!” without acknowledging that there were a lot of people that lost to it.

Last book: The Hero of Ages (Mistborn) by Brandon Sanderson

Current book: Wind and Truth (Stormlight Archive) by Brandon Sanderson

I would 1000% recommend these books and other Cosmere books to anyone that enjoys fantasy but with the caveat of being aware of the Sanderlanche. Pretty much every book this guy writes takes time building everything up so it can feel quite slow, but then towards the end you get your avalanche of action, quick story progression, and answers to questions you get throughout the books.
