    I feel like I’m too uneducated to properly understand this or give it a sincere rating. I’m sure its lack of plot is deliberate (analogy for life of a heroin addict etc.).

    Cool aesthetic and awesome soundtrack, the latter being the reason I wanted to watch in the first place.

    Probably would have enjoyed more if I didn’t feel physically ill every time someone took heroin lol idk what it is

    Toy Story 4

    ★★★★½

    Came into this fully expecting it to be unnecessary and rubbish but I couldn’t have been more wrong.

    Captured the magic of the first 3 perfectly. Incredibly heartwarming, emotive, and genuinely hysterical at times. Ducky and Bunny are standout newcomers.

    Only gripe is the sidelining of basically all the main characters bar Woody, but this was really his film so that’s okay tbh.

    Doctor Who: The Church on Ruby Road

    ★★½

    First 1/3 was good but story is ruined by naff, one-dimensional villains and a mediocre plot. 

    Gatwa carries and is already 100% the Doctor, but I’m not sold on Ruby yet. What has she done for the doctor to take her in? Be unlucky? She helps out in no way in this story, whereas past companions generally earned their places in some way.

    Hated the musical bit - completely superfluous and immersion-breaking.

    Concerned about this era going forward tbh. I miss old RTD already.

    Ricky Gervais: Armageddon

    ★★

    Just not very funny. Screams desperate to generate online controversy and hugely suffered as a consequence. Not a scratch on any of his old stuff, furthering the trend of how funny it is falling the more he becomes obsessed with identity politics.
