Monkeyboy

I rewatched this episode with my mum and, incredibly, she skips the intro! I couldn't believe it.

If there isn't a BBQ at the end with Vin drinking a Corona, I'll be disappointed.

Regarding Nacho and Hector...

Daryl hasn't aged particularly well, has he? He was lean and mean in the first few seasons, but now he kind of just waddles around. There was an episode in the current season where he had to sit down on a sofa and it was the most awkward thing ever. He sort of just fell over onto it.

Like when Bond gets too silly and has to go back to basics, maybe they’re stealing VCRs?

How dark? I could barely see what was going on in the first half of episode 4.

Was not expecting that guest star!

Even though they're sillier, the second two are worth getting on 4K as well. They're honestly fantastic action movies. I would even say they're masterclasses in how to direct and edit action scenes. I sometimes feel they're a bit underrated these days, probably because they were parodied so heavily back when they first came out.

I watched Savage Dawn the other day. Lance Henriksen has a habit (skill?) of suddenly appearing from out of nowhere during the entire film.

Phenomena (1985) An Argento I've never watched for some reason. Until now!! The last twenty minutes is nuts! 4½ out of 5

This is available on "uncharted" waters.

This is "out there".

I didn't think was great tbh. Worth a watch, but that's about it. It's not even that tense. Just a bit boring.

This Rin guy sounds like a hoot.

They’re looking at a cheaper subscription with advertising as well. I’ve come close to cancelling a number of times over the last year, but my mum shares my account so I’ve not bothered.

Thought this was great. Didn't feel like a three hour movie at all. The pacing was spot on. The style seemed to hit a middle ground between the Burton and Nolan movies.

Reform School Girls (1986) A sensitive and moving portrayal of young women struggling with everyday life in a reform school. 3 out of 5

The opening is definitely more streamlined. You can get off planet quicker. I would argue that fixing your ship to get off a planet is not actually tedious though. I like that element.

The Blind Blacksmith quest ending made me chuckle. In fact, that whole quest line in the town was pretty funny. I didn’t have the heart to kill the fake Eagle Bearer and his chicken, so recruited him to my ship.

I'm probably about three or four big updates behind in this now. I can't believe how much stuff they've added and changed. Full credit to them, they must've firmly put all the early naysayers in their place by now. Although, I suppose there must be a few people out there, still complaining. I think when I'm done with AC:Odyssey, I might start a new game. There'll have been another five or six updates by that point!!

X (2022) This is "out there" and it's Xcellent. 4 out of 5

Episode 7. What an absolute mess. It's just bits of stuff that don't add up to anything.

Are there any good cookbooks focused on batch cooking?

Agree, ace film. I’ve just watched The Big Racket (1976) on Arrow player. Pretty much wall to wall to action, and hardly ever a dull moment. 4 out of 5
