A Minecraft Movie

2025

Watched

The movie itself? Terrible.
The experience of watching it, in at most 480p, on a projector, while it cuts out or buffers for a couple of seconds every 5 minutes, in a cuddle puddle of autistic trans girls during the wind down phase of a kink event? Transcendent.

The sound of half a dozen sleepy voices repeating "General Chungus..." in varying tones of disbelief, choked amusement and despair is definitely something I'm going to and giggle about for a while.

Galaxy Quest

1999

★★★ Liked Rewatched

This is one of those movies I probably would've *loved* as a kid if I'd watched it within a few years of release (kind of surprised I never did, considering how deep in the Trek obsession I was even then).

Watching it properly now for the first time, it's mostly just 'fine', but I could definitely see it feeling much less dated in '99. It's corny and a lot of the humour is just kinda cringe, but I still had a better time watching this than I did Star Trek '09 or Into Darkness, there's that too.

Alan Rickman is fucking great as always too.

As a Marxist, I'm all for the earnest evaluation and critique of the (many!) missteps made by socialists and socialist projects, both historical and contemporary. To say that just because something has good intentions and even may have improved upon what came before that it should be immune to criticism is the very opposite of a dialectical and historical materialist position.

Hell, my favourite videogame of all time is Disco Elysium, which manages to *eviscerate* some of the more tragic…

The Wraith

Finally, an answer to the burning question of "What if a cyborg ghost with irl GTA Online hacks declared a blood feud on a polycule of gay punk puppyboys in small town Arizona?"
