Welcome to the mantle Marty

#12MovieChallenge for 2026 locked in! Thanks to everyone who recommended me a movie. This will be my third year in a row! I have enjoyed the recommendations & they’ve helped broaden my movie tastes & motivated me to watch things that have been long overdue.

They pulled out the “I hope this email does not find you well”

Well... I guess I'm glad Zionists murdered a writer's festival and not hundred of thousands of children this time

Marty Supreme advance screening tickets secured 🏓

Doing it again for 2026!
#12MovieChallenge

2026 I’m doing a theme of movies on my watchlist, movies I own but still yet to see or a big awards winner or critically acclaimed blindspot i should prioritize. Lists are on my LB.

Thanks to everyone who contributed & recommend me movies for my #12MovieChallenge for 2025.

Turned into 27. Still got Before Trilogy to go for an upcoming week off. Some I ended up buying/importing and a couple lucky enough to see at some well timed retro screenings

You know who would be cheering on the Netflix acquisition of Warner Bros? Xbox fans. They love industry altering monopolisation

High possibility Jane Remover/Venturing combination might feature up to 3 times in my albums of the year with this latest release

Planned to visit cinemas today (Bugonia, Predator, Running Man) but it must have changed since October that JB Mobile no longer gets access to Telstra tickets. Guess it’s Reading/New Farm only now. Upside is I finally watched Black Bag and it was excellent. So many great performances & cool score

The genre of mainstream writing about games that is "go to a space I've never visited or understood to find out what's *really* going on" only ever ends up with a story that is "I found lots of bad stuff!!! can you believe this?" at a surface-level, lacking context, insight or any solutions.

Sleepy time.

Frosty Mini Is A Bite-Sized ANZ Showcase Going Down In December A little iced treat

A tasty snack is coming next month

“bEsT dEaL iN gAmInG”

Educated NRL fans knew the Bulldogs were fraudulent pretenders. They derailed themselves with all the Reed/Sexton/Galvin stuff. Now a pathetic effort that helps play Penrith into title form. Credit to Penrith. Been perfect. Brian To’o is a beast & just as important to Penriths success as Cleary.

First time watch of Speed Racer at New Farm tonight. Been on the list for too long. Cant pass up seein at the cinemas!

Nintendo announcing DLC for a game that comes out in a month is fucking wild

Hollow Knight devs have the chance to do the funniest thing ever

“I’ve got a fever. And the only prescription is more Mario Tennis”

Super Mario Galaxy Collection on Switch! Nintendo should announce the game is only available for 1 month and then being pulled from retailers and deleted from the Nintendo EShop store

Thanks for the recommendation

Finally watched Corpus Christi. Easily one of my faves from this years Watchlist (7 to go from 27). Grew up in a Catholic school, went to church weekly but no longer consider myself religious so I loved how it spoke about faith, actual influence, passive practice etc. Bielenia as Daniel was so good!

So I have been working through my list & finally watched Housebound. Loved it. So quirky and darkly funny but without losing its edge.

Thanks for the recommendation!

Arts criticism & journalism being reduced to marketing is incredibly depressing, and I am thankful for the approximately six people/outlets in the BG space who actually do criticism and/or journalism. I don't condemn the rest but I do feel sorry for them.

Hoping so. Would get me playing more. Maybe I shouldn’t want it so I don’t get trapt just playing this lol

The jumping combined with power sliding is insane! Some of the ghost times are untouchable. I just want to see my consistency (or lack of 😂)

It’s wild that Mario Kart World Time Trial mode doesn’t give you a best lap time or break down all of your lap times and only shows one completed time. Even the leaderboards aren’t numbered. Shows you the top 10 overall & top 10 in front of you. One of my favourite MK8 modes ruined

The amount of “Xbox Play Anywhere, World Premiere, Play it Day One with Game Pass & Xbox Games Studios Presents” transition screens in that showcase were tedious, messy & destroyed any flow. Pretty meh showing. Is Perfect Dark still a thing?
