  1. #Superman is America's foremost mythological tale. Everyone knows the story, so we can skip ahead. Those giant ice spikes are The Fortress of Solitude. Superman is an alien that crashed in Kansas. We know this.

    But there's so much wrong. Ma and Pa portrayed as semi-literate hicks. Kryptonians as Nazis.

    Sweet fuck, the dialog. Superhero films have a low bar, but the dialog in this are some of the most dreadful ramblings of a major entry in the genre.

  3. New  game review on my website!

    Legends of Amberland
    ★★★★☆

    A fun throwback to the early Might and Magic and Bard's Tale fantasy games of the 1980s and 1990s. Grid- and turn-based, with old-style pixelated graphics and LOTS of side quests.

  8. I'm watching an 80s apocalyptic animated British film on YouTube.

    It aged well.

    The characters are the whitest people on the planet. Just a little older than my parents, children of WWII, surviving WWIII.

    Some are too young to remember when folks like that were the normal adult personality. It's the "this is fine" meme as a movie. The Don't Look Up of the Cold War era.

    Bleak as it is mundane. Very artistic animation choices, very anti-war messaging, very left of center POV.

    When The Wind Blows (1988)

    [oh! And opening track is David Bowie. It starts live action.]

  15. 10-second spoiler-free movie review: "Disclosure Day" (2026)

    A very good film - not perfect, but very good. Mixes scifi and action-thriller well. I didn't know it was directed by Spielberg until the end - it avoided his usual Disney-fication of subject matter. Probably the best scifi I've seen since "Arrival" (2016).

    An excellent cast with great performances. Highly recommended.

  20. Love and Monsters (2020)
    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    Road Trip meets Zombieland in a post apocalyptic monsterverse, but with a surprising amount of heart. This movie came out during Covid, and like everything of that time, kind of got lost in the fever dream. But it’s really good and worth the watch.

  26. Ik vond een boek "Grip op e-mailbeveiliging" van Joram Teusink in de bieb, dat leek in te gaan op heel veel aspecten van, eh, e-mailbeveiliging — ook dingen waar ik minder van weet. Daarom durf ik niet te zeggen dat alles fout is, maar ik denk dat ik het kan afraden.

    Het noemt zichzelf "hét handboek", maar het is herhalend en oppervlakkig en slaat toch nog vaak de plank mis.

  31. This was a review I quite struggled to write, although I'm pleased with the result. Akira is such an iconic movie that it was intimidating to write about, and in particular to find aspects to critique. I'd like to think though that we can get more from engaging with it than just reaffirming its cult status, and I enjoyed my own attempt to do just that.
