Got a lovely sneaky victory in Irish mythology themed boardgame Inis today. #Boardgames
Going to give the 2001: A Space Odyssey boardgame a go today. #Boardgames
Oh and another fun thing I did at one point was make up posters with the movie artwork from every film we watched from 2020-2023 and got them framed and gave them to everyone as Xmas gifts.
But I’m back at it now and trying to get more clips edited together so that I have all 600 movies done in time for the 600th one. I'm also painstakingly going back and captioning every single clip, something I should have done from the beginning.
During COVID lockdown I started a little online movie club with friends where we’d chat and watch cult movies each Sunday evening. Well 6 years later and we’re still doing it and we should hit movie 600 next month. boxd.it/cQDlK
The big gate that usually seals off access to the old Washington Monument was left open today so I was able to finally get in and have a closer look.
A found footage horror movie shot in IMAX with teens running around in the woods with this thing for some reason:
There was also a cartoon series in the 80s that came out not long after the movie. Crazy stuff.
Was playing a boardgame today that you can only play through once as it has a bunch of secret envelopes to open and you get write on cards and put stickers down on the board.
Having an BER A rated home is kind of a nightmare in this weather especially as I’m on new meds that make temperature regulation difficult. Currently catching up on work in the garden where it’s finally cool.
Installed solar panels in April and am now close putting a total of 1 megawatt onto the grid.
Back in studio at @nearfm.ie recording #AudioDrama today. 26.5 C in here at the moment but I guess it was probably much worse yesterday.
Got Studio Series Thundercracker as a Father’s Day gift. I know you may be thinking I already have Thundercracker on the shelf there… well this one is a more screen accurate shade of blue.
I almost forced KFC to name a burger after it but they disqualified me despite being the clear winner.
Final episode of #AudioDrama Jammie Dodgers airs on @nearfm.ie this evening at 19.00. Pictured the full cast:
Ah. It was jammed shut because it was filled with bits of the wall as they did crappy job on the installation.
Anyone know how to open one of these Siro ONT boxes? The ISP sent me this picture thinking it explained things but it really doesn’t…
The local trouble makers rocking up to the Coolock protest in 3026 AD
“Enemy Territory” sounds great too. “An insurance salesman inadvertently gets trapped after dark in an apartment building that is terrorized by a street gang called "The Vampires." Featuring Tony Todd as ‘The Count’
From the same director “Dungeon Master”, “Demonic Toys” and “Arena” were all great fun. And you better believe “Seed People” is getting added to my watchlist.
Movie lined up for tonight is Eliminators (1986) If the film is only 10% as good as the poster then we should be in for a good time. Tagline: “Mandroid. Mercenary. Scientist. Ninja. Each one a specialist. Together they are ELIMINATORS!”
