I would never have gotten blue but very disappointed I didn’t see purple at all.

Eh. Green, two of those are not as big in the UK to me, so wouldn’t have thought of them there. And blue I wasn’t getting.

The blood moon rises once again.

Pokémon Go. Those first few weeks and months were nothing like anyone could have imagined from a mobile game. People were outside and enjoying a game with other people. I remember seeing videos of people all running because a rare Pokemon had spawned somewhere and everyone was helping each other to get to it.

The game itself was a simple affair anyone and everyone could play with no paywalls or subscriptions. Now it’s just paywalled events, Pokemon locked behind those events and it’s just a slog to play now.

I’m glad I got to be a part of those early days.

Jurassic Park. Those dinos beat many of today’s CGI films. Mixed in with the animatronic ones they just blend in so well. The story is simple (to quote Dr Malcolm) God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates dinosaurs. There are so many quotable lines, as shown just now, and the music is pretty unforgettable too.

Knife goes in guts come out.

Mr Sparkle.

Totally agree. Even this past race, I get showing the McLaren celebration but I really wanted to see what happened with Hamilton and Alonso at the end there. Do Picture in Picture or something. They do that sometimes.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Sill amazing to watch now but nothing has had the same feeling as that first watch.

_ Whether the hurricane will affect the F1 weekend at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez is still unclear, but that chance seems relatively small. Mexico City is about a five-hour drive from Acapulco, and the hurricane is expected to lose strength once it makes landfall._

So probably nothing to worry about then.

This is due to the new replaceable battery requirements in all electronics in the EU. So it’s not just that Nintendo are discontinuing it because they want to, it’s because all Switch units would need to have replaceable batteries.

Sarah Michelle Gellar will always be Buffy Summers to me.

“Perfectly symmetrical violence never solved anything.” Gets a lot of use when playing Mario Kart with friends when two people hit each other with the same items or hitting each other with stars activated.

Gonna go with Mortal Kombat (1995) 45%, a video game to film adaptation of a fighting game is never going to be deep, but this is a fun ride. Could add in the follow up, Annihilation (1997), 4% and the 2021 film which sits at 54% too. Don’t expect much and they are fun films.

Of course not, you are Dúnedain

To be fair, this is The Magicians Nephew being made first which we haven’t had made in the two previous BBC and Film adaptations. So at least it’s a new book we haven’t had done yet.
