That was actually a pretty good film? Like, it had slight Cabin in the Woods energy, just sort of unexpected and quirky, one minute funny the next gut wrenching, and ultimately a fun film. And also neither a sequel nor a supers movie, something standalone so hooray for that!20 Aug 2026 21:33 +0000at://did:plc:f2ppf5zrnlbby37uvwfl2brt/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtk75jbp7k2shttps://bsky.app/profile/andyclarkauthor.bsky.social/post/3mso2e6j67k2oWhat computer game would you like to see a really good, big budget cinema adaptation of? (For this hypothetical we’re assuming they nail it and the film would be brilliant). For me it’d be Dead Space. https://static.klipy.com/ii/4493325008d34b7bf8cd6813cd5c1619/89/66/1u4hgDHBYvmNK.gif?hh=270&ww=480&mp4=8BZ8548Da6OuSYz5Ov&webm=SfjEWZKajuL1509 Aug 2026 16:53 +0000at://did:plc:f2ppf5zrnlbby37uvwfl2brt/app.bsky.feed.post/3mso2e6j67k2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/andyclarkauthor.bsky.social/post/3msdpqeglck2wThat’s my Skorpekh Lord painted!05 Aug 2026 14:16 +0000at://did:plc:f2ppf5zrnlbby37uvwfl2brt/app.bsky.feed.post/3msdpqeglck2whttps://bsky.app/profile/andyclarkauthor.bsky.social/post/3mrsuaomba22cIt’s not just me, right? “Hello and it’s another episode of that podcast you like!” Ooh great! “And this week we’ve got a guest with us, it’s -’ Aaaaand no thank you.
