shadowhiveSo I had hoped to do this post last night, had even started it, but I totally crashed last night, first tuning out then going zzz completely.
Wednesday night ended up being low energy again. I pretty much just set up the laptop to transfer switch 2 caps over (oop there’s over 6000 each on pokopia and Tomodachi life, I’ve gotta go through and delete a bunch now) and watched the last two Amazing Digital Circus eps that were on Netflix.
Yesterday was a trip to town for Masters Of The Universe (and Amazing Digital Circus). I didn’t do much beforehand just got more cat food from b and m, picked up Sleep Token tees from Primark and gettting noms. I also went in Smyths but I couldn’t see the demogorgon they were meant to have (the Care Bears were Lucas and Mike not Dustin like I hoped, but I did get a Funko of a plant and Kane from Alien, with a chestburster on his face).
I love the guy at the cinema, he said I’d be able to see the earlier showing of Digital Circus (I wasn’t sure causa timing so it saved me sitting around for an hour) and up he loved Mandalorian season 3 too! (Which is oddly rare). Though it’s odd he hasn’t seen the film despite literally working in a cinema showing it,
The showing for Masters Of The Universe was pretty quiet, I think there was only about 10 of us which felt a bit of a shame, but then maybe other showings did better. By contrast The Amazing Digital Circus showing was pretty full. The only showing of something that was fuller was Iron Lung, but hey it’s good that people are coming to see this stuff in cinemas.
Trailers were largely ones I’d seen before, so there was Supergirl, Spiderman and The Odyssey.also one called One Night Only but the premise seems strange (like there’s no way humans would have sex be legal for one night of the year). I missed some of the Digital Circus trailers but there was one for Angel’s Egg (I’m kinda curious) and, ironically Masters Of The Universe. (I am curious what the other trailers were).
Also before I went in someone came from one of the other screens and I heard The Mandalorian And Grogu music which made me wanna see it again. Maybe when I see Disclosure Day next Saturday. (But I digress)
Before going into the films, if you’re seeing Masters Of The Universe there is both a mid and post credits scene.
Having said that thoughts ahoy! (Shouldn’t be too spoilery though)

I didn’t know much about Masters Of The Universe. I’d never seen the cartoon or the other film they did so I went in knowing nothing apart from what I’d seen in the trailers. I admit the big draw was ‘scantily clad hot guy’ but also the trailers gave Guardians vibes.
The film is focused on Adam, Prince Of Eternia, who is sent to Earth when his home is attacked. He has to find the sword of power he lost to get home, then use it to help save his world from the evil Skeletor.
First of it looks great, visually it looks incredible and I love the look of Eternia and hope we get to see more. I love that it’s a cross between mystical and technological. There’s magic, but there’s also spaceships. There’s a giant green talking cat and also a robot. (Also speaking of visuals I love that Adam gets a magical boy transformation, incredible work all way round cause I loved that so many).
And I love Adam he’s so sweet and dorky but also so hot when he transforms. (Like look at him it’s an incredible fit).
Also Skeletor is so gay for him. Like literally every time he talked about him he mentioned his biceps or muscles… and then he said this: “Your long sword dangling between your glorious thighs”. Like 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈??
I loved all the side characters too, especially the robot, Roboto who was so funny and Man At Arms (played by Idris Elba) who was both badass but also funny too.
Also the soundtrack was also incredible but that was to be expected as it was the same guy that did the Project Hail Mary soundtrack (Daniel Pemberton), but there’s also Brian May doing guitars which is wild too. (I mean just listen to the singke track of Eternia)
But yeah it was such a great, fun time. I definitely recommend it and will definitely pick it up when it gets released. Also it’s a third banger from Amazon MGM after Project Hail Mary and The Sheep Detectives.
Next was Amazing Digital Circus. I’d not seen the show when it first went live, only deciding to watch properly after seeing it on Seapeekay’s subathon and then seeing it was coming to the cinema. As mentioned above I only watched the latest eps this week, so I didn’t have the long time investment that everyone else had. However it was a good time for the most part.
I’d say it’s not like The Mandalorian And Grogu, you have to have seen the series to understand what was going on. (Which is fair, these are the two final eps of a series put together as a finale film rather than designed to be a standalone.) So you have to go in knowing these characters, being invested in the story. But I don’t think people going to see this will just be randomly watching it anyway (unless dragged along by someone that did)
And like I said, there was a lot of people there for it! I saw a few had plushies (some were up even in smyths earlier) and having a lot of people meant there was noticeable reactions to things. There were audible gasps, explanations of ‘no way’ and other things. It was cute and like I said it was good to see so many there. And honestly, good for the shows creators to get a cinema release at all that’s so cool for them.
But yeah it was really good and had a lot of stuff that was, surprisingly heavy and got right in the feels. A scene that was a deep dive in someone’s mind started as fun but then took a sharp turn into touching and sad. I dunno if the reveals of various things were what people expected or not (I’d not wanted to look into stuff anyway, especially after I’d heard leaks). But I thought it was a good ending to the show.
Next cinema trio should be Monday to see the new Scary Movie but also an Attenborough documentary on the Ocean and I’m a sucker for the sea. Then I’m hoping to see Disclosure Day once my money goes in.
This weekend there’s some gaming things (summer game fest and x-box direct) but I’m also hoping to watch stuff. The original Scary Movie is on prime so I’m hoping to see it before the new one (oddly 2, 3 and 5 are too but not 4). I might try and do a run over the next week + if I can find 4 (I’ve not seen 5). And I wanna try and watch Pizza Movie or Touch Me. We’ll see.
I might finally get back to The Pitt tonight too and start Criminal Minds Saturday (cause Connor Storrie is in it) and continue spider-noir (it’s really good so far!). And try and finish Welcome To Derry(watch more Tales Of 85 and Heated Rivalry, but we’ll see what I fit in)
