Casual writer for FilmStories.co.uk.

More #writing can be found on my blog with film reviews but there are game, books and other reviews as well.

There's a 3 part series on Kevin Costner's Waterworld and some trips down memory lane with pieces on the ZX Spectrum, VHS tapes and more.

When I'm not writing, I love watching #film, #reading or playing #games on PC, PlayStation 3, 4 or 5.

Recently self diagnosed as autistic.

I look forward to chatting with you. 😊

Completed Couch to 5K, week 2, run 1 today. I definitely need this slow build up again. Just like last time, I feel like I might not be able to do it, but I keep on going. I have rather a good mind over matter, which seems to keep me going.

Not too much praise, please, this is the third time in three years I'm doing this. 😂

@TheRetroSven I remember buying Gabriel Knight 2 because 1) I liked point and click games and 2) I was a sucker for anything that came on multiple CD's and was filled with live action video!

My wife just cut some cheddar with scissors, and I really don’t know what to do.

@Floppy oh no, hold your nose, she's going to cut the cheese.

A weird slang for farting I've only ever heard in Weird Science (1985).

Sorry for being incredibly active on here for the past few hours, including this toot, but I'm at work having a dead period where I can't do anything.

That's when I'm the most Fedi-Active! 🤓

With the imminent arrival of Loops, I was going to use Openshot to create my first video but apparently KdenLive is a lot better.

The favourite comment I saw was that OpenShot was a Fisher Price video editor in comparison. 😄

@dgar I assumed Blender was a 3D renderer. I'll look into that as well. Ta.

Gill of Realweegiemidget Reviews @weegilljac and Barry of Cinematic Catharsis host many great blogathons and I've contributed to the latest.

The title of the blogathons says it all, Mismatched Couples, and here's my entry, a review of Enemy Mine (1985).

I haven't watched this film since I was a teenager and it definitely resonated differently with me this time.

I hope you enjoy my review and the rest of the blogathon.

Wot!? Just had a work email putting me on a series of online courses. Usual Health and safety stuff. One however is an anti-bribery course.

Do you know the meaning of the word bribery? Right, don't do it! Somehow that's been extended to 20 minutes.

I'm not even in a position to be bribed either. If you offered me money, I couldn't change the outcome of my work anyway.

Hey gamers, I need your help! 🫶

A few days ago, I watched a video on YouTube called “Can You Beat Spyro Without Breathing Fire?” and I thought playing a game with a specific challenge in mind would be a great idea to do on my streams!

So I'm asking you what games do you think could be played with unique challenges? I’m open to suggestions!

Boosts are appreciated! Thanks! 💜

The wife is right, I think I'm going to have to do couch to 5k again. Four months is too long a gap. That'll be the third time! 😊

@loops What resolution are the videos? I'm assuming 1080p in portrait mode?

I'm just excited to start making videos in preparation. 😊

Hmm...can you tell the signs that I'm about done with Blood Money? 😅
I don't know. The final mission is not "bad", but I feel like doing it quiet is really tedious and time consuming.
I also got pretty far on my "scouting" attempt and pushed on until I was too far gone to turn back.
Well, only the epilogue left now, but that'll have to wait until tomorrow.

The final mission rating. A whole lot of dead bodies, shots fired, blown covers, witnesses...
The final mission screen, showing my rating as violent and noisy. I'm rated as a "Psychopath".
One of my favorite disguises in all the Hitman games. Reminds me of the bunny from Donny Darko, but in gold.

@mforester you remind me of Sniper Elite 4. At the start, I was all about the sneaking and the sniping and the covert kills.

Final level, I couldn't be arsed and ran in machine guns blazing. 😆

Almost 20% of the population in “absolute poverty”, 1 in 10 relying on food banks. 69% of children living in poverty had at least one parent working. What a legacy the Conservative government leaves. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/mar/21/poorest-uk-families-hardest-hit-cost-living-crisis-official-figures

@EighthLayer That was a fantastic game and the Alan Wake integration was a true surprise.

UKFilmNerd,
@UKFilmNerd@mastodon.me.uk avatar

@EighthLayer maybe that's a DLC level? I got the game free from PSN. Alan Wake is in the game, it's the same universe.

Johnny Mnemonic: Reloaded (1995)

I haven't watched this in years and I don't remember too much about it apart from lots of cool names and a Hollywood cash in on the internet / cyberpunk craze.

This is the Reloaded edition, a fan has edited together both cuts of the film (US & Japanese) to create a longer, fuller cut.

UKFilmNerd,
@UKFilmNerd@mastodon.me.uk avatar

@puffer No? I didn't know that was a thing.

UKFilmNerd,
@UKFilmNerd@mastodon.me.uk avatar

@puffer @mforester Yeah, I checked eBay and Amazon. I'd be looking at £30, unfortunately.

@LaserdiscTurtle @TheBreadmonkey Final word on Highlander II, Ewan, does your edit include the fairy tale ending?

Ben, if you haven't seen it, YouTube it. OMG! Surely someone should have read that and just said stop. Maybe an executive replied, at least give it a go it might work.

😆

UKFilmNerd,
@UKFilmNerd@mastodon.me.uk avatar

@TheBreadmonkey @LaserdiscTurtle Please tell me you've seen the TV edit of Robocop. Every swear word dubbed and all the violence toned down.

I'll put it this way, ITV broadcast it on a Saturday afternoon at 5pm!

Alien³ has a longer cut which imo is much better.
Mel Gibson's Payback has two different cuts both are still great films.
Zack Snyder's Watchmen has three cuts, I prefer the middle one by running time.
So many out there...

Quite excited and a little worried to be honest. I'm taking my son to see my favourite film which has been turned into a musical.

I generally don't like musicals but I love Enchanted and Rocketman.

Don't worry, I'll be spamming my socials with selfies and photos later. 😁

@danieldurrans I think you're missing their point but I like yours better. 😆

@OutofPrintArchive Gasp! I know what I'm putting on my 3DS SNES emulator later! I loved those pinball games!

UKFilmNerd,
@UKFilmNerd@mastodon.me.uk avatar

@OutofPrintArchive The whole pinball series was fantastic, I had them on PC. I remember being 30 minutes late to a pc club (hey, I'm a nerd) because i was doing so well at a table, I wasn't going to quit it.
