So I had intended to go out Saturday but the heat was just too much. Thankfully staying in meant I could watch the Hades concert stream which was pretty cool, especially the siren songs. It did make me wanna replay the game, though I was too flop for that (and needed to finish a fall guy quest and still need to clear screencaps) but maybe soon.

And I did end up watching films on tv. I watched Close Encounters Of The Third Kind (probably cause of Disclosure Day, but I really loved the spaceships and it’s nice to have friendly aliens) and Ticket To Paradise (which was pretty good).

Sunday was watching Gone Fishing on Dave (I’m so sad still about finding out Ted died a few weeks back), DND, then just being flop until Mock The Week and Spider Noir. I sense Spider Noir is gonna be one of my fav shows of the year and I have the songs stuck in my head.

Monday mums friend came which, as always, was annoying. I had considered doing the cinema trip after she went but my stomach felt a bit woozy. I think it’s from the chilli/cheeze bread I ate which is odd cause it was fresh.

In the night I did finally get back to Heated Rivalry, which was pretty good and I just wanna give Kip a hug.

Mail came too. Monday had a pretty fox qwertee, along with Exit 8’s blu ray. Then today the Dustin and Steve Funkos came, plus the Skeletor figure too.

And also! The fancy Project Hail Mary Steelbook went live on hmv so I snapped that up! Sure I messed up my orders after (I had to cancel the 4k I had ordered, but accidentally cancelled the soundtrack one instead).

I also did the Apple and Paramount trial subscriptions so if anyone has recs let me know, I think I’m gonna start Widow’s Bay tonight and Strange New Worlds this weekend.

Yesterday morning I had to cover at the library and it was so quiet, usually we get a few people, even if just a delivery but nope no one came. I just read Silverweed Road, finishing the third story (about a jerk con man) and the third (the best one about cuttlefish which was so great).

I had debated doing the cinema trip today and I ended up going so I saw Supergirl and Toy Story 5

Trailers see mostly things I’d seen before but there were new trailers for Cat In The Hat, Spiderman and Minions And Monsters so I do wanna see all of those. Forgotten Island looks pretty good too. I’m not sold on Dog Stars though (which is some post apocalyptic thing which.. eh). I was surprised that there’s a Paw Patrol movie with dinosaurs… and songs by the Backstreet Boys.

First was Supergirl and I loved that the cinema seemed to be playing one of the Guardians soundtracks before the ads rolled.

I knew that I’d at least like Supergirl cause it’s mostly set in space and I’m a sucker for space stuff. And the various aliens, of which there’s surprisingly many, are all so well done. Plus I loved Kara’s ship. Yeah it’s a mess but it looks cool.

I did enjoy it, even if at times it felt grim (flashbacks to Kara’s childhood, a ruined planet, the villains being [heavily implied] sex traffickers). But it does have heart, mostly with Kara and Krypto who is a cute menace and I did like how Kara was trying to save Rutheye from her revenge plot.

I’m not sure about Lobo, like he was pretty cool but at the same time felt underused. You’d have thought from the marketing he’d have been in it way more.

But yeah overall I did like it. I dunno much about DC stuff but hopefully they’ll do something else in space.

Then there was Toy Story 5. I’m not sure which was the last one I saw in cinemas (I know it wasn’t 4, though I have seen it on tv). The trailers for this one looked pretty good though but this was always gonna be a +1 film for me.

Like with Supergirl there was quite a decent turn out of people, which is probably surprising considering how many showings there were first week (but then again heat).

It was pretty good though. I had thought from the trailers that it would lean too much in the tech vs toys direction, and while it did see, going that way it did have a nice shift with how older tech got forgotten and how even the newer one was trying to help just not in the right way.

And it was pretty fun and did have a lot of heart (especially with Jessie’s story) and I loved how the animation art style shifted during the few play sections there were. There was also a subplot with a bunch of Buzz's that got washed up on a beach, which that felt random whenever it cut to them but was pretty fun.

Overall I thought it was pretty good and I liked how it all came together at the end. (And aww that pig was cute)


Annoyingly I did get caught in the heavy rain coming back so I got home looking drowned. Ugh.

The cinema listings Monday revealed that Bleach is getting an extra few showings (alas no more Ghost In A Shell) and it also revealed that we’re getting Backrooms Everything Must Go which has extra footage so I’m curious. And Perfect Life is out… but only two showings on Monday.

Which is annoying cause that’s when Seapeekay’s subathon is starting (it was meant to be tomorrow). I might miss the start for it, see some other things Friday but we’ll see.

I was gonna watch Wildhood last night (but that was before cinema plans) but I ended up completely worn out and ended up going zz (actually in a break while making this post) so alas I didn’t, hopefully sometime this week.

I might before the next cinema trip do a half year post on the cinema films and thoughts, I might do that before the next trip.

Today’s plan? Finally sort the switch 2 screencaps, go on the pokopia event and then Widow’s Bay and From tonight. Oh and watch the Splatoon direct I missed.

I haven't much to say about your cinema reviews as you say almost exactly what I thought. Good films I enjoyed, but neither amazing.

I like School Spirits on Paramount plus. It's about students that are trapped as ghosts when they die in a high school and has some interesting twists and turns.
