I've got at least 3 albums/EPs that I never finished for various reasons, so I'm getting them done. That's about it though.

Yeah, I've been using the little M&S and little Sainsbury's in town, but when we need cat food and heavy stuff I gots to brave the covidiots in Tesco. 

Just been to Tesco. People are absolutely incapable (or unwilling) to follow the one way system or stay 2m away.

1. Jaws

 

 

I need to think about the rest.

I need to rewatch Jaws. It's the favourite film of a lot of my friends. I remember it being good, but not top 5 good. I'll see if it's on Netflix

I've still yet to watch Reservoir Dogs/Jackie Brown/Hateful 8.

 

I loved Deathproof. But I understand that puts me in the minority. I thought it was fun. 

Once upon a time in Hollywood is fantastic though. So much to love about it.

Deathproof is a really fun movie, but just not as perfect as the others. Reservoir Dogs is in my top 5 movies of all time. It's absolutely perfect. There's nothing I would change about it. It's fun, brutal, kitsch, engaging, the performances are incredible, possibly best soundtrack ever. I just love it.

Watched Once Upon a Time in Hollywood last night - loved it, it's by far his best film.

I mean, that's a bold statement. For me it goes:

1. Reservoir Dogs

2. Pulp Fiction

3. Kill Bill 1&2

4. Jackie Brown

5. Inglourious Basterds

Then maybe Hollywood at number 6.

I could do without Django, Deathproof and Hateful 8 tbh.

Wasn't Cici in a band called Wishing Hour or have I completely imagined that? 

Yes, Wishing Hour. They were great.

I'm an unashamed Tarantino fanboy and I thought Hateful 8 was tedious and Hollywood was very pretty but ultimately disappointing. At least I enjoyed watching Hollywood, lots of great performances and cool kitsch.

I really enjoyed 1917, but I watched it with literally zero knowledge. It was only halfway through I realised they were doing the one camera thing. 

Yeah, I never made it to season 2. On paper it should've been my favourite show ever. Crazy how they managed to botch it.

An entire series of Silicon Valley passed me by without me realising so we are watching that.

Oh yeah, me too. I best get on it

Better Call Saul is the best thing around atm. This season especially is better than Breaking Bad even. Bob Odenkirk is absolutely killing it. He's phenomenal.

I was super excited for Westworld but goddamn it was slow. Could've been 4 episodes shorter easily

New Le Pub is great. IMO better than old Le Pub. Better location, much better drink selection (like 1000% better), nicer sounding live room, bigger space for sitting and drinking, nice smoking area. The list goes on. If you've not been I highly recommend it.

My steering box is kaput. So I can't drive anywhere even if I had a reason to. But that's what I get for owning a 30 year old vehicle.

Man, I loved that place. 

Driving. I love driving. I'm gonna drive so far.

3. people actually having the gall of wanting us all to clap for Bozza tonight!! (and I'm not meaning that its anything to do with him being ill, I'm not opening that can of worms!) 

Bozza can suck my plums.

Rediscovering old favourites. Been blasting the 2013 mix of In Utero and it's giving me feelings.

Hey hey, it's ya boi. I joined the massive back in 2005 and I ended up making friends with most of the people I had flame wars with. My band, Spider Kitten are still going, about to put out our 31st (?) release. I am considerably more chill than I was 15 years ago, but I still feel the same way about metalcore.
