It's just my opinion, though, there's really no need to go spread it around.

Backrooms - runs out of steam but incredible direction and set design BDaBR - effective noir-western. Tracy somehow naturally exudes goodness Parasite - brilliant satire and thriller Predator: KoKs - starts strong, great visuals, not as keen on latter half #LetterboxdFriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky

Last four films watched with star ratings
Backrooms 3.5 out of 5
Bad Day at Black Rock 4 out of 5
Parasite 4.5 out of 5
Predator: Killer of Killers 3 out of 5

Here Lies (team got it by talking through it at the end of round 2) and Lands of Galzyr (finally won).

Here Lies game with clues on cards spread all around.

End game state of Lands of Galzyr. Someone is flipping off the cameraman.

Odyssey - Noisy. Grey. Entertaining. MotU - Dumb fun. Emotional beats & themes fail due to fear of being cringe Joe Baby - Intriguing cast, dull noir. Predictable is fine but lacks sparks Spider-Man BND - prob best MCU SM but sags. May improve on rewatch. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #Filmsky

It's not Caturday but this was taken late on Saturday so it counts, probably.

A caliby cat sitting on top of the box for the board game Life of the Amazonia, covering the picture of the macaw. There are some other board games visible in a stack in the background. The cat's mouth is open mid-meow as she looks at the person holding the camera but not directly at the camera.

Not too bad. Excalibur, odd but entertaining beast. Little disappointed with Supergirl; massive step down from Superman. Flow is incredible; beautiful and moving. Project Hail Mary was great and once again shows how good Gosling is with humour and drama. #LetterboxdFriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky

Last four watched on Letterboxd with ratings.
Project Hail Mary 4/5
Flow 4.5/5
Supergirl 3/5
Excalibur 3.5/5

Many French people were asking them to reconsider the name of this board game due to how it sounded out loud

Board game cover for the game Bitoku, which sounds rude in French when said aloud

Pirates of Maracaibo with expansions. Loved it. Might even prefer it to the Great Western Trail games (although, it's not a 1:1 comparison, admittedly)

Endgame photo of Pirates of Maracaibo. My friend is showing you the middle finger because that's the thing they do for photos (also, I beat them on a tiebreaker, so maybe it's for me)

Some real treats. Paper Tigers similar in tone to Cobra Kai but better choreography. Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes, really fun and technically astounding. Space Cadet, charming kids film. Sunlight, moving dark comedy with Nina Conti becoming 'Monkey' #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched ##filmsky

Last four watched on Letterboxd with posters and star ratings.
Paper Tigers. 3.5/5 stars
Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes. 4/5 stars
Space Cadet. 3/5 stars
Sunlight. 3.5/5 stars

Underwater Cities with New Discoveries and Data Era (new "disc-overies"). Very fun, but very long.

Underwater Cities board game with New Discoveries and Data Era expansions included.

Me: This bit was really stupid. It only makes sense to him. Why is he broadcasting his fetish to strangers? *remembering I'm posting on Bluesky where the Discover feed is full of people doing that*

BoardGameGeek having an AI-generated image as "Pic of the Week" is pretty gross. And the culprit is acting like it's a real photo. Urgh. boardgamegeek.com/image/959861...

Someone on the Pointless question-setting team must be a Wingspan fan @stonemaiergames.com @elizhargrave.bsky.social #wingspan

Photo from UK quiz show Pointless with a round on fork-tailed birds featuring the cover star of board game Wingspan with alternate letters missing from its name. It was also the best answer, being "pointless" (no one of the 100 people questioned identified it)

Creature Caravan and a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-themed Magic: The Gathering co-op set (way too easy at 4-player), as well as Inkling and So Clover.

Endgame photo of Creature Caravan. There are lots of unique colourful cards and some dice.

Endgame photo of Magic: The Gathering Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Turtle Team-Up. The players all have multiple lands and other cards out.

Having PTSD triggered by a Magic: The Gathering card from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set.

Image of a creature card called Electric Seaweed which shows Donatello the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle swimming underwater towards a timed bomb in the background, this image is completely framed by pink seaweed, surging with electrical current. A reference to the original video game for the NES, which had a nightmare level where the player had to guide their turtle through a tight underwater maze, racing against the clock to reach and disarm all the bombs while avoiding the seaweed everywhere that reduces their health.

Lands of Galzyr and Things in Rings. I still need to get Cthulhu: Dark Providence to the table; love the original but not sure if group ever will. How is it?

The view of the back of a cat overlooking a mid-session game state of Lands of Galzyr, an adventure board game with anthropomorphic animals.

A cat sat very still on a tabletop with the "None" category marker from Things in Rings perched on their back. They were, in fact, a thing categorised correctly for this game.

'Riders of Justice' is a really great blend of dark comedy and revenge thriller with really affecting drama currently streaming in the UK on Channel 4 for another 8 days. Definitely recommend it: www.channel4.com/programmes/r...

Promotional image for Riders of Justice showing a bearded short-haired Mads Mikkelsen from front-on, looking determined, driving a car with four somewhat distressed, shlubby-looking men as his passengers.

Few films I found a little disappointing but still good. Woman King a bit too "Hollywood". Artistry in Kubo incredible but the story bit flat. Freaky Tales a little too esoteric (nazis getting rekt is universal tho). Spy is great le Carré, got me on a kick #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky

Last four films watched with ratings out of 5. The Woman King 3.5. The Spy Who Came in from the Cold 4. Kubo and the Two Strings 3.5. Freaky Tales 3.

Wingspan with the new Americas Expansion. It's good!

Photo of the end state of a 4-player game of Wingspan including the new hummingbirds. The last-placed player has already cleared their player board. The second-placed player is showing their middle finger to the winning player taking the photo, but they actually do this regardless of the game result.

Managed a 'photo finish' in Ark Nova where we had to double-check the disparity between score markers. Pretty pleased with myself winning that one. How's Almighty? Think it's coming to Kickstarter soon so wonder if it's still being developed.

Endgame scores in Ark Nova showing blue at 78 minus 55 for 23 points and yellow at 71 minus 49 for 22 points.

Empires of the Void II (first play after 8 years!) Much more enjoyable using extra cards and at 4-player rather than 5. Should go into regular rotation now hopefully.

Endgame photo of Empires of the Void II. The usual suspect is flipping off the cameraman (who also won this game)

What's Burgle Bros. 3 like? I have the first one but we found it a bit punishing with 4-5 players. We played The Vale of Eternity (very good, maybe a bit long with 4/the expansion) as well as the superb Leviathan Wilds. We helped out #6 Avalanche while my cat watched.
