A look inside the cherry pie I made.

It was really nice.

@TomCampbell What this footage really needs is the theme tune from Tugs.

I saw Project Hail Mary yesterday: very good, 8/10. Ryan Gosling largely carries it, but Sandra Hüller is excellent and Rocky goes right to the upper reaches of the list of best non-humanoid aliens (James Ortiz does such a good job puppeteering and voicing him). Also, Ken Leung.

[ColonelXB @ColonelXB]

It was surprisingly delicious.

Ladies and gentlemen, and children of all ages, I present the Poppadom Preach Burger. (I considered calling it the A Good Mango Is Hard To Find Burger). Layers (bottom to top): Brioche bun bottom, poppadom, mango chutney, burger, extra mature cheddar, bacon, brioche bun top.

Just watched Ready Or Not 2: bloody loved it, 8/10. Was it as good as the first? No, but it did have 100% more Kathryn Newton.

Just back from Cold Storage (2026) - it's fun, 7/10. Liam Neeson Liam Neesons his way through things effectively, Georgina Campbell's fun, and Joe Keery is Joe Keery. I recommend it. Would triple bill nicely with Night Of The Creeps (1986) and James Gunn's Slither (2006).

Really really in the nosebleed section here. Small price to pay for a Deftones show.

This has been a men's Royal Rumble of many missed/passed up opportunities to make or solidify stars.

@JackTheJobber Now Oba Femi's gone, there's nothing I could want more in this match.

[ColonelXB @ColonelXB]

As soon as that was the final 3, the result had a tedious inevitably about it. But then, I'm very much not a fan of Liv, so that colours it for me.

Also, I can't be the only one to think the Sol Snatcher looked x1000 better when she did it as a springboard off the ropes earlier.

I really enjoy making mix CDs for people (including album art). The only problem with this is that as soon as I've finished one, I think of several songs that I would have put on there if I'd thought of them earlier, and bam, a new CD begins.

Maple and pecan cake, with maple icing, Biscoff, and dark chocolate.

@MotelSundown played an excellent set at The Colne Delta Blues & Americana Club in Brightlingsea, which is all up on my YouTube.

@craiggouldmusic & The Noble Thieves played a blinding set at The Colne Delta Blues & Americana Club in Brightlingsea this past Friday, which I recorded and present to you here:

Holy underwear, it was five (5) years ago today that I put out the first (full) THAT'S GOTTA BE KANE! starring @Maffewgregg and @TomCampbell - the passage of time is a terrifying, cruel tango. https://t.co/357qKeE81J

Just back from Predator: Badlands - I really liked it, it comes very close to Prey (which I loved), but it's a very different film, so it's hard to place. Elle Fanning is terrific, and I always love a robot/android that works despite what should be catastrophic damage.

[ColonelXB @ColonelXB]

@TheBoulder23 @JamesF_LaceUp Damn, that's that kind of thing I went hoping for.

[ColonelXB @ColonelXB]

Went to Cineworld's Classic Secret Screaming.

The title card comes up: "Terrifier 3".

Left.

I don't rate the Terrifier series, but even if I did, you can't term a 1-year old film classic. It just isn't.

[ColonelXB @ColonelXB]

@JamesF_LaceUp Yeah, to advertise a screening like this, 5 years would reasonable. Generally, I'd say 10 years for a film to warrant being referred to as classic.
