I’m okay as long as you like all the same stuff I like.
This event was an advanced screening for invited influencers,what influencers are. All part of a high energy old school style marketing campaign. Next they will make you sign a waver to see the movie and announce that a nurse will be on hand.
It is not LOTR long
Just saw that it was coming back to theatres last night as a trailer before Jaws.
I was 11 when it came out and was not allowed to go with my older brothers to the drive in. They wouldn’t swim in the swimming hole for the rest of the summer. This is a must see on the big screen. Get your self to a cinema. You’re going to need a bigger screen. 💙📽️ @letterboxd.social
Great way to start the Labour Day Weekend. Coffee and a good book on the deck. 💙📚
I was 11 and saw it at the drive in. Would not go swimming in the swimming hole for weeks.
There are doing some old school horror movie marketing for this I love it. They did a screening where they hooked everyone up to a heart rate monitor!
Envelope for mail. They are not obsolete but I had a millennial come in to the office to volunteer to stuff envelopes. Had to show them where the address labels went 🤦♂️. Receiver from old style phone to mean phone. 📞
Nice to see I’m not the only one who pronounces it that way.
A nice coming of age romcom. This indigenous movie has a lot going for it on such a small budget. Graham Green was hilarious. Lots to talk about after you watch it. Support indigenous art. @letterboxd.social 💙📽️ #filmsky
The chicks a dude. Vaders is Luke’s dad, Solent Green is people, the calls are coming from the attic.
I seem to be a bit obsessed about mountaineering disasters even though I have never gone climbing and have no interest in doing so. The great thing about this book is we spend as much time with the porters as we do what the Western climbers. They have agency. 💙📚 #booksky @thestorygraph.com
So say we all. And no spice you have to go to a specialty grocers to get and only use once.
There was no one to negotiate in Germany I just got decided up.
First batch of ketchup this season. 🍅🫙. One lid didn’t pop. ☹️ #canning. #canningseason
So now your openly mocking the episode. Wow. bwahaha
2/2 a yarn company that did the same. When we carried a line of yarn we did the full colour range. They stared sell the top colours to Walmart at deep discount. People would complain our prices were to high go to W not get the colours they wanted. Made us look lime we were gouging.
Lots of brands have done this. I owned a small dept store and we sold lots of LEGO. But then they stared to sell all their popular items to Walmart at a deep discount. Cheap retail at Walmart then our wholesale cost. But Walmart only took the top SKUs. 1/2
I lived the first 2/3 of the episode. Was actually giddy at the beginning with the first title card and voice over. But as a documentary it failed at the end when the documentarian inserted themselves into the documentary. OR the episode writes gave up on the concept near the end.
In Canada 🇨🇦 there is a 5% federal tax but most provinces including mine mine, Ontario, exempt books from the provincial sales tax. Along with baby clothes and a few other items. Disappearing tahr they are taxed nationally.
I don’t like horror movies. Since that time I was home alone as a kid and watched the Exorcist. Weapons is an amazing movie but I did watch a lot of it looking at the floor of the theatre. I jumped and yelped once. Luckily everyone else did too followed by nervous laughter. Hope that helps.
I once purchase a bag of rice that said it was plant based 🙄. At one time they marketed potatoes as cholesterol free!
Toronto, come to Toronto!
Just a few more and I’ll be making my first batch of ketchup this season. #backyardgarden #canning
Headline: Romantasy’ is on the rise, but reading for pleasure has fallen drastically over the past 20 years Noteworthy: a full quarter of that time has seen an unprecedented rise in book bans nationwide. Cited study mentions many factors but...not that one. www.cnn.com/2025/08/20/h...
To this day I have high school friends that one of us only need to say ‘those aren’t pillows’ to put us all into hysterics.
Hahaha
Very well written and builds up tension even though you know the outcome. Lots of background research delivered in an entertaining way. A local story with a universal theme 💙📚 #booksky #newfoundland @thestorygraph.com
Until I heard the song I had thought it was a Bajoran beverage. Maybe because they drank so much of it on DS9.

So the gifts I delivered to the orphanage on Christmas Eve wasn’t enough?
Last year at Christmas I wore a plaid limber jacket, borrowed a friend’s golden retriever, and sold Christmas trees. Still single 🤷♂️
The USA doesn’t recognize the ICC
Bwahaha
Audio signals at intersections for the blind DEI. Curb cuts for wheelchairs DEI. Any accommodation for a veteran who lost a limb DEI. They truly have no idea.

I don’t want to get all canonical, because I liked this episode for the most part, but going from having meet Pike once at a function and shaking his had to Pike was Kirk’s mentor is a bit much and actually took my out of the episode a bit.
Well holy shit. Machine learning isn’t that intelligent
I thought most cheer squads had men on them. My uni back in the 1980s had male cheerleaders. One lived on our resident floor and was a real ladies man.
You’re going the wrong way
I know, but just ‘wow’. What would a bully puppet even be?
Pulpit. As in the podium a preacher stands at to give a sermon. 🤦♂️
Three Men in a Boat and 1066 and all That appeal to a very specific kind of person. I’ve read both and have a nice Folio copy of one.
Scared the living you know what out of me. Had to put my popcorn on the floor for fear of throwing it in the air when I jumped. And creep too. Was exhausted after. Great actings and a really intense pacing of the plot. Did not sleep well after. Go see it. 💙📽️ #filmsky @letterboxd.social
OMG. That just triggered a childhood trauma I had supposedly. I had to hold her purse too!
Maybe I’ve read too much CanLit but the whole time I thought something bad was going to happen. A great story about people. 💙📚🇨🇦 #canadareads #booksky @thestorygraph.com
Just finished my second Kiwi novel and it was great. Brother and sister take turns telling this story about family, love, queerness, and finding yourself. Enjoyed the humour and emotions. I’m sure I had gelato in Auckland at the same place the characters did! 💙📚🇳🇿 #booksky @thestorygraph.com
Pig iron production is up 34%
From the first trailer I wanted to hate this movie. ‘Why oh why god are they doing this?’ Then the reviews came out so I went with a chip on my shoulder. ‘ok funny guys make me laugh if you think you’re so smart’ I laughed out loud in the first 30 sec and never really stopped 💙📽️ #filmsky
Pig iron production is up 34%.
Can’t remember the name of this French movie but there was a scene of domestic violence. The man had a gun and was threatening his partner. At one point the man turned in a different direction and the camera pans with him to reveal a baby in a high chair. A woman in the audience screamed ‘No’
Twists and turns made this novel hard to put down. A few well placed time jumps add tension to the story. Young woman joins the war effort as a typist then…maybe a spy. 💙📚 #booksky

I enjoyed it. The dialogue between husband and wife felt real as did their love for each other. The action was clear. The acting was good. The plot was easy to understand. It seems the question of the summer is ‘Do we put to much faith in our heroes?’ 💙📽️ @letterboxd.social #Fantasicfour #filmsky
That is a really cool souvenir sheet.
I know, right. Well other than I’m old enough to remember Christoper Reeves Superman. That summer I real did believe a man could fly.
I just got back from NZ. My son introduced me to Afghan cookies, cream donuts and general pie culture. And I had a sausage roll from a Z gas station. Leery of trying a ‘hot dog’ even with the word American in the title. Had a ‘hot dog’ in the UK once and swear of eating them outside North America.
This is an amazing tale of a bird, a woman and her husband the axe man. Picked it up on my trip to Aotearoa New Zealand and read most of the novel on the plane ✈️ ride home. Would recommend you read it. 💙📚🇳🇿 #booksky #newzealand
Nothing like summer reading in the cool of the early morning with a French pressed coffee. ☕️ 📚 #summerreading
Oh my
Back in Canada 🇨🇦 felling jet lagged ✈️ My Mon July 21 was 40 hours long 🕰️ Left Auckland 🇳🇿on Monday at 8pm (20hr) flew for 12 hours to Vancouver landing in the afternoon on Monday (32hr). In Vancouver for four hours (36hr). Flew for 4 hours to Toronto landing around midnight on Monday (40hr)🧮😳
In fellowship with my new mug I bought at Hobbiton NZ🇳🇿 #lotr
Totally agree. You could-host on I Hard it but I Lve it is totally wrong. The thing you want first going into a bathroom, any room really, is the light so you can see what ever it is you are looking for. His does a fan help with that ?
Leaving Auckland 🇳🇿 for a long flight to Canada and the two middle seats beside me are empty! 😀✈️
😆 my favourite movie meets my favourite franchise.
Im surprised no other English speaking country uses klicks. And I think kerfluffle has just fallen out of us elsewhere.
Kirk’s trial seemed to last for a few days. Maybe even a week. Things are faster in the future.
They have time to do something but Kirk only remembers meeting Pick once. Let’s not throw all continuity out the air lock.
Why no warning about quick sand?
It most certainly is
Catherine Chidgey’s The Axeman’s Carnival. Will read on the flight home
Before I left Vancouver I searched for top New Zealand books. Three novels were mentioned and then a paragraph on The Penguin History…. Once I landed I went to the Unity Books and purchased a copy. Finished it yesterday looking out at Moutohora Island from Whakatane. Really adding to my visit.
It is such an interesting story of how she ended up in the scene.
Devoured this book after picking it up in Auckland. Easy to read. Very informative. Well researched. Highly recommend to anyone interested in the subject. #booksky 💙📚🇳🇿 #newzealand
Krypto get the toy
Been excited about this movie since the trailer and Superman whistled. Then I knew for sure Krypto was in it. Nice clean fight scenes, humour, and Easter eggs by the basket full. Moved along at a nice clip. Did I mention the dog? So much fun #filmsky 💙📽️ #superman @letterboxd.social
You are good to go 👍

Robots needed three rules lol
Visiting Aotearoa New Zealand 🇳🇿 right now. Have to remember to turn the switch on the plug on then the switch on the lamp. And wow do kettles boil fast. Am kind of missing North American coffee but flat white is ok. lol Auckland was amazing and heading to Hobbiton (yes a real place) in a few days.
Excellent book the history of theorizing and then finding the crater that killed the dinosaurs. I remember reading about this theory in the 80s and 90s. Written for a layperson who has some interesting and background in science. #booksky 💙📚 @thestorygraph.com
Grab your popcorn 🍿 and buckle up your seatbelt for this fun inoffensive high octane summer movie. A little bit of romance, some humour, and lots of thrills. Decent performances by everyone. The cinematography literally puts you right in the drivers seat. 💙📽️ #filmsky @letterboxd.social
A real page turner. The narrator (unreliable) is a real peace of work i.e. a shitty person. This makes the story far more interesting. 💙📚 #booksky @thestorygraph.com
A movie about expectations, goals, and family. Over coming preconceived ideas. Got a bit teary eyed when @pattonoswalt.bsky.social says qapla to the Dakota Fanning character. Well worth the watch is you like heartwarming. 💙📽️ #filmsky #startrek
It is what they voted for. They are willing to have this happen as long as they don’t have to learn someone’s pronouns.
Ummm… two of @stephenking.bsky.social most dystopian novels coming out as movies this year. There is nothing to worry about, right? Everything is fine. Is someone working on a reboot of Americathon?😬 #filmsky 💙📽️
A lot of cities have food deserts and no for profit grocery store will set up. So yes it is a solution. If a for profit business wants to do it let them. But they are not.
Really enjoyed. This novel puts you right there on the train and really captures sleep deprivation. About racism, homophobia, and trying to overcome obstacles in a world that is simply not fair. #booksky @thestorygraph.com #canlit #gillerprize 💙📚
60 and almost all my T-shirts are graphic. Are there other kinds?
Explaining Canada Day To Americans
Post apocalyptic living in a small isolated town. The world has moved and abandoned the British Isles. Brexit anyone? Some tonal shifts but who really cares about that. Until the end then it is a bit jarring. 💙📽️ #moviesky @letterboxd.social
Meh. Kind of like reading a Tom Clancy novel. Interesting but forgettable. Definitely a summer read. 💙📚 #booksky
Watched it last night, by my self, to prep for 28 Years Later. Still creepy and thoughtful. And yes the real monsters are people. 💙📽️ #moviesky @letterboxd.social
We had a bunch of free range peafowl 🦚 growing up. At night they would roost in tree by our house. As the sun would come up they would call out. Way louder than any rooster 🐓 could do. But you sure didn’t want to piss one of them off.
Some movies are so bad they are good. This is not one of those movies. It was awful. It was horrible. Wish I had not watched it. I feel stupid. It is a trip having others chose what I watch. @paulscheer.com #moviesky 💙📽️ @letterboxd.social
That is one of the most British sentences I have ever read.
Every single time I hear the talking heads utter, "Peace through Strength" I think of this. I gave '1984' a re-read in 2022, and it not only still holds the record as the only novel that has actually ever scared me, but even more so now as an adult who understands how effectively propaganda works.
It was a great read
