The current generation Thomas & Friends cartoon animation style.

While people are getting in a knot over the Shrek character redesign, we’re neglecting the true artistic outrage of the 21st century so far: The current generation animation style of Thomas & Friends versus the previous, infinitely superior generation. A travesty worthy of riot.

A ★★★★★ review of School of Rock (2003) Honestly think this is the greatest rock n’ roll movie ever made outside Spinal Tap.

The guy who plays real Ned created The White Lotus and I think that’s beautiful

*whispering for fear of the mob* I don’t think the Shrek one is that bad. This one looks like a disaster.

On the one side you have every writer, artist, musician, actor, director, and comedian ever to create anything worthwhile, on the other you have Elon Musk, Bankman-Fried, and people whose idea of artistic creation is to type "big titty Supergirl" as a prompt. Of course Labour side with the latter.

Idiots will celebrate their favourite franchise losing an incredibly successful producer only to find out that these movies will be garbage regardless

A ★★½ review of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017) Not as terrible as some reviews suggest.  It’s a bit forced. Slightly better than On Stranger Tides but not as good as any of the original three.  Are the Aztec gods and the Greek gods both canon now?...

Better, but could be better

A ★★★★ review of The Matrix Resurrections (2021) Incredible sequel. Doesn’t give a fuck about what you want a Matrix film to be and tells the story it wants to, teasing your expectations but never meeting them.  I loved this in the cinema and though...

Might start sharing my silly little film reviews here. The Matrix Resurrections is, in a word, incredible.

The site formerly known as Twitter is a Nazi site.

No one can claim they don’t know this, and we are well past “I use it for the other bits”. I’m not saying that if you are still using it you’re a Nazi, but you *have* decided that Nazi-ism is not a deal breaker.
