I'm in a Conjuring marathon of sorts, and I'm playing them in order right before I go to sleep. 💀

At least you're guaranteed to have sound now

Just watched Bad Guys 2 last night with my friend. Probably as good if not better than the first one, a lot of parts caught us off guard

AZM (Red Stars block winner, 2nd in Red Stars B sub-block) v.s Momo Watanabe (Blue Stars winner, 3rd in Blue Stars B)
Stardom 5Star Grand Prix finals, 8/23/2025

(In addition to the 5Star finals being enough of a reason, side storyline going on. Momo and AZM were former stablemates in Queen's Quest, Momo betrayed the stable and defected to Oedo Tai at the tail end of 2021, signs are there that Momo will eventually be betrayed in turn relatively soon)

Pi (1998) Directed by Darren Aronofsky

Brilliant film. Hugely underrated. Hugely misunderstood by the general public. One of Darren Aronofsky's best films.

I haven't seen it but it's on my 1,001 movies list.

And how's this for an odd back to back to back 1998 threesome:

Pi
There's Something About Mary
Saving Private Ryan

That is quite the disparate list there.

I HIGHLY recommend you make time for "Pi". Move it up the list, as it were. It's an incredible film.

Another brilliant film that I watch every few years is the 1990 cult classic "Jacob's Ladder". One of my favourite films of all time. Whatever you do steer clear of the remake from 2019. The writers/director REALLY didn't understand the original film and it REALLY shows. Avoid like the plague.

Is it number 3.14159 on the list?

I got a month's free subscription to Amazon Peime and ime currently coming to the end of Wheel Of Time. Gonna see if can finish all seasons of Foundation on Apple TV with their 7 day trial next. The last great Sci Fi series I watched was The Expanse and I think Foundation my well replace that as my favourite ever sci fi series.

That man looks like Harry Potter. The one in the thumbnail for the video you posted, Wow.

Jacob's Ladder had the creepiest ending. I read Adrian Lyne fought to keep it. I guess he was a fan of Ambrose Bierce's short story An Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge (1890).

It's such a hauntingly beautiful ending. It gets me every time. The score is incredible as well.

That's Tim Robbins (of The Shawshank Redemption) in one of his earliest roles. I can see what you mean, though.

 

[UKMikey]

The score is incredible as well.

I can't wait to see this. I really loved John Candy.

 

[05XR8]

Yeah. Uncle Buck, The Great Outdoors, Spaceballs, The Blues Brothers, Stripes, Brewster’s Millions and voice work in Rescuers Down Under are my top favourites with him in those movies.

Thunderbirds S01E01: Trapped In The Sky.

This is the ITV 50th anniversary Blu-Ray release so I'm not sure whether the recent 60th Anniversary box-set is any better in quality. For a remaster this is more than good enough for me though.

No Planes, Trains and Automobiles?

I was humming and hawing about the 60th box set but ninety quid is a lot of money for a few shots of puppeteers' hands and a fancy episode guide. They don't even include the two feature films as MGM/UA own the rights. Hopefully @AEKara38 will post a few internal shots of the book when it arrives in December to show the rest of us what we're missing out on.

No Planes, Trains and Automobiles?

Just the highway scene for me.

 

[GTboyz]

Just watched Thunderbolts and I loved it.

Maybe it's because I haven't watch any MCU movie since No Way Home but this felt fresh somehow (or maybe I just love more grounded theme). The humor is different, the whole thing didn't feel like the usual MCU movie. The chemistry between the characters seems great too.

Still no intention to watch FF and Doomsday tbh but I think Thunderbolts is great.

Thunderbirds S01E01: Trapped In The Sky.

I never realised that this was the first ever episode! It's the one that sticks in my mind the most as i remember watching it as a kid. As a re-run, obviously, i'm not that old.

It was a lot more exciting in my memory. Fortunately things pick up within a couple of episodes or three as the Anderson crew find their feet. My guess is that Lew Grade's edict that each episode should be fifty minutes instead of twenty screwed mightily with their pacing.

Watching... anything I can find with R R in it...
Rest in peace.
