Watched Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget. Watched The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Both gave feeling of nostalgia. So much work for both to come to fruition, good to finally see them.

Watched Ferrari. Brutal car crashes.

Watched Can I Tell You A Secret? Quite disturbing the lengths one person would go to terrorise so many women and it took so long for him to get caught. Attitude needs to change towards nastiness, it is not OK and should not be tolerated. One of the people on there, I was in the same form group and classes at school. She is genuinely such a nice person, I wonder if that criminal would have been as cruel if they actually knew her. So many keyboard warriors out there, more needs to be done to stop them!

It managed to chart number one on Netflix in the UK ahead of the likes of Formula 1: Drive to Survive which charted six in season six. I somehow haven't watched a single episode of that yet. However, I have seen a lot of the memes from it over the years.

Watched Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. Quite unrealistic, lacked substance and seemed to be just going through the motions. Even though the movie is quite lengthy, seemed rushed in places. Hopefully part two can redeem it. However critics rated it very highly, so doesn't put much media pressure on them. They have done a great job before so I am sure internally they will want to make it the best. So far I think Fallout is best in the series. It edges out the first one simply because it features Méganes!

Watched Hypnotic (2023). This film was not well received by critics but I think it pulls off the plot of the movie well.

Watched The Beekeeper. Typecast but still worth a watch. Hopefully will bring about more awareness of scams.

Watched Fast Charlie. That accent I was not ready for from Pierce Brosnan.
 
I watched Harry Potter 6, The Half-Blood Prince. What an absolute trainwreck travesty of a movie. They gutted Snape's plotline in the book. They completely left out any mention of the Gaunts and Riddle's origin story. They assassinated Harry's character by completely changing the key moment in the plotline of not only the book but of probably the entire series. They went overboard with teenage smoochy BS and immature love angst, meanwhile burning down a home and a key setting for the remainder of the series. Are 7I and II as bad as this one was? My god, what a disappointment.

I totally agree with you, the best book gets the worst movie adaptation. But 7 in two parts is much better precisely because of the split.

Was an easy watch. Pretty tame if compared to a series like Deadwood and Gangs of London. Very few oh snap moments and most appeared toward the final episodes. Kept me entertained.
 
I'm watching the Freaky(2020) horror movie. You know the one where that Millie girl wore the red leather jacket, and was a killer.
 
Series:
Sugar - good stylish show, but main cliffhanger looks artificial.
Barry - excellent Cohen style show.
Parrish - good South vibes, screenplay isn't all that good.
 
As from today, I'll mostly be making silly noises Pow Zap...


And talking like the Mysterons...


This is the voice of the Mysterons, i shall kill time...

Star Trek: Discovery season 5 was the series finale. Sorry to see it end. It was a lot of fun.

Doctor Who Season 1 (or Series 14 or Season 40 depending on how you count them.) It’s the first season with Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor and Millie Gibson as his companion Ruby Sunday. They’ve both been amazing. Gibson’s performance as Ruby Sunday is even more impressive when you learn the first episode she filmed was the Doctor-lite episode “73 Yards”.

I'm watching some Regular Show episodes on Cartoon Network. That's a funny ass-banging show, Mordecai and Rigby are two good sidekicks.
It's on when I wake up in the morning. I'll watch it for a few minutes before hopping in the shower to get ready for work.
 
I'm fixing to watch Teen Titans GO, some episodes on Youtube. I love that show, it's a hit on Cartoon Network.
