The Martyn Supremacy

Re-read "Green Arrow: Year One" on the train back from London. Still one of my favourite comics. I loved the "Arrow" series, but how come Warners never made a standalone movie version? It reads like a storyboard (complimentary).

youtube should never have become a vehicle for people like mr beast. youtube's purpose should be to have people with autism explain their special interests to me

Batman Returns for Tax Purposes

JCVD season is nearly over... #Letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky

Tonight's plan: Overthinking about the significance of "The Expendables 2".

Enjoying "Gears of War: E-Day", but GOOD LORD that Horde mode needs a balance patch. Only 2 types of games so far: "Instant team wipe" and "Slaughter all who stand before us"....

The vibes have been kind of heavy recently, I really needed "wisecracking Pinhead" to lift the mood at the end. #Letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky

Sometimes, a movie's cover is such blatant false advertising you have to kind of respect it. (You should still watch this movie, though) #filmsky

That feeling when you fly Ryanair without incurring any extra charges. Not. A. Single. One. Pretty sweet.

After seeing so much Gen AI artwork on menu's outside restaurants in the past week (it made me actually nauseous), this heals me.

Tomorrow's the end of a brief trip, went from home to Berlin (via London and Paris) entirely by train. Will post photos once I get back.

Is it weird that "Malignant" has become ome of my go-to comfort movies? No. This movie rules.

Horror movies are like pizza. Even when they're bad, they're (mostly) worth it. #Letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky

This week... took a turn for the worse. #Letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky

"Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel" - Samuel Johnson

Putting together my next zine, using shots of #Birmingham from my first two rolls of black-and-white film. Considering I use a cheap half-frame camera they came out alright (worth paying for decent scans). #photography

This week's theme seems to be "Guys who need to go to therapy"... and Bruce Wayne finally does! #lastfourwatched #Letterboxdfriday #filmsky

Wile E. Coyote is doing a reddit AMA right now for Coyote vs ACME and strictly answering through signs, and it's genius.

Rewatched "The Revenant" this morning. Logged it in Letterboxd, shocked to find I originally only gave it 3 stars. 2018 Martyn was an idiot, it seems.

Ouch.

Just saw "Coyote vs Acme". So good to see a movie that's flat-out FUNNY, not just snarky quips. The timing is razor-sharp too. #filmsky

Hunting season and mad science. #lastfourwatched #Letterboxdfriday #filmsky

Pulled out a few Blu-rays for a new "To Watch" pile, then realized my two current moods seem to be "Gritty Historical Drama" and "Robot Fights". Ah, the duality of man. #filmsky

The company built on selling books is now buying and destroying them. Reason #857 for resisting A.I. at every turn.

"I'm going to show these people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a world without you. A world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries. A world where anything is possible. Where we go from there is a choice I leave to you".

This took less than 3 hours from the result being announced (to near-silence): www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c5...

And so to bin. #Nerdlings

I'm not sure you need 8 minutes to explain this, TBH. It still remains the best thing to happen all year.

Got this freeloader staying for a week. #dogs #dogssky #dogsofbluesky

A quicker build than the last one, just need to make room for a garage at this rate.

Okay, let's see what all the fuss is about...

Finished "Directive 8020". 3rd act twist was pretty good. But EVERY Supermassive game ends with a set piece that rapidly moves between characters with quick-response button prompts. Player spends hours trying to keep characters alive, it's a really cheap way to kill them right at the end.

Picking up old games for £2 and replacing the cases. Money's tight, I've got a Series X and EA aren't getting a penny.

#nowreading "Authority" by @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social (Book 2 of the "Southern Reach" series), paired with the S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 soundtrack. #booksky

Existential angst with occasional face-kicking. #lastfourwatched #Letterboxdfriday #filmsky

Zines As AI gets increasingly pushed on us, I (seemingly like a lot of people) try harder and harder to avoid it. Never use ChatGPT

Made pizza. 48-hour slow-rise dough; hand-stretched, not rolled out. Pretty damn good.

Well, I just changed my plans for the evening.

Playing around with making double-exposures in Photoshop, going for cyberpunk vibes.

The spellcheck in my phone changed the word "Foretell" to "Tortellini" multiple times, despite spelling it correctly. I swear, this is actually getting worse.

I don't think I'm cut out for JRPG's. Unlocked Sciel in Expedition 33, looked at the pages of explanation of her mechanics and just noped at them. I don't like blaming the 'tism, but that Sun/Moon/Fortell stuff might as well have been quantum mechanics.

I struggle with RPG mechanics, but the vibes are impeccable. #expedition33 #virtualphotography
