Spider-Man: Brand New Day is great. That’s the post. Congratulations, keep this up Marvel.

It’s Mika Monday ❤️

If anyone else spoils anything about Spider-Man: BND, it’s a block. Not everyone can go on opening weekend. Ppl just don’t get it, do they?

Russia killed nine people in Kyiv overnight, including four children. Out of 27 ballistic missiles launched by Russia, we intercepted only one due to a shortage of air defense missiles.

We’ve reached the point where CNN have to write a guide on how to collect and watch movies on Blu-ray. Has it been that long already? Dont get me wrong, i love this. Collect your favourite things. Its more rewarding, and you always know where your movies are - all you need is shelves.

“Here’s everything you need to know to get into physical media, from building your library to getting the right 4K Blu-ray player to play it on and tips for taking care of your collection.”

One of the world’s great recording studios, Sound Kitchen in Nashville, has been demolished and is now a big patch of dirt. Respect to everyone who put energy and money into saving it. Miloco still have a page devoted to it - worth a look before it too vanishes. milocostudios.com/2018/03/soun...

Ten years since his first term, after 1.2 million COVID deaths, ppl mass-purchasing ivermectin, the idiot suggesting we could inject ourselves with disinfectant… Plus all the horrors since… NOW one of my old friends decides to jump into the right-wing conspiracy rabbit hole? Please seek help mate.

I’ve suddenly come up with a wild theory concerning Doctor Doom in the MCU, and how this could be the most devious bait-and-switch by Marvel. I’m not going to explain my idea in case I’m either a) right, so it spoils it for everyone or b) I’m completely wrong so I’ll look like an idiot...

For a while I kept buying different releases of From Dusk Till Dawn on Blu-ray, until it became clear that they all featured the same disappointing fuzzy orange transfer.

Name physical media you purchased more than once.

Can I just say, after a few days lurking around on Threads as well, BlueSky is the place to be. So thanks to everyone that contributes here. Threads isn’t quite X, but it has an underlying level of awfulness all its own. And I’m amazed to discover that engagement farming is STILL a big thing there.

This is the best explanation of Disney’s InfinityVision programme I’ve read, straight from Disney’s Head Of Theatrical Distribution. celluloidjunkie.com/2026/06/23/d... /1

Disney's Andrew Cripps Says Infinity Vision Is More Marketing Program Than Certification Scheme - Celluloid Junkie

Disney's Andrew Cripps explained Infinity Vision at ICTA Barcelona, describing it as a voluntary marketing program for premium non-IMAX screens — with key details still to be defined.

More prime Croydon city centre. Yes those are weeds growing over that hoarding. It’s just a few years away from looking like The Last Of Us.

And here’s two pictures that will mean absolutely nothing to (almost) anyone - behind this hoarding is the remains of South London’s greatest small live music venue, The Cartoon. It’s 20 years this year since it closed. Weirdly the crumbling facade is still just about visible thru the weeds.

Are you though?

Annual van MOT under way, so killing time exploring the wondrous sights of central Croydon. This is how the Whitgift Shopping Centre looks when Taylor Swift isn’t filming a video here.

Reminder to go outside and play with your friends.

I love all your photos and videos of your adventures with your huskies. Apart from how much it makes me miss my husky.

The BBC promo shown during the World Cup Final halftime break was more entertaining than the actual halftime show. Loved the (almost) period-correct Simmons drums gag. Well done. youtu.be/koftLxmT6Wc?...

What has the BBC ever done for me?

Why do US-produced halftime shows always sound like they’re being played thru a sock?

Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface

This should work - my Decca tree, before its “branches” get attached. Kinda unassuming in the end, doesn’t look like it took 12 hours of machining. Still a bunch to do, but this is ok for now. Will shortly be in the venue, hanging 12 feet in the air. 🙂

At last, aluminium plate is here. “Its milling time!”

Waiting for another flagtastic Farage announcement complaining that being an MP has become too dangerous, and that for his family’s safety he has decided not to stand in the by-election after all. All because he’s not sure he can win against a guy with a bin his head.

Ahh, what a shame. Tough game. Thanks for the excitement 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿.

Rushing to build a custom Decca Tree in time for Friday. The most critical part, the part I ordered first bc it needs a whole day’s drilling and tapping, is going to be the last to arrive. Ironically supplied by a company called “Rapid”. Thanks DHL.

Now I understand why I’ve never owned a copy of The Dish on Blu-ray. Because it wasn’t released in most of the world, and the few places where it was it’s been OOP for most of a decade. I feel lucky now to have seen it at all. Such a great movie being done such an injustice.

Rest in peace to one of cinema’s most outstanding artists; the legendary actor Sam Neill (1947–2026)
