  Lynch/Oz 2022

  ★★★ Watched 25 Feb 2025

  Suffers from not really having any coherent point and being six different people’s impressions on the subject but still worth a watch. It at least touched off new ways of thinking about Lynch’s work for me.

  1985 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 20 Feb 2025

  Good to be reminded that they really did (and still do) things like this (the police, spies, and all their far-right mates). If they’re capable of this what else are they capable of?

  About as good as something like this can be probably. It did go in a little bit for “both sides are bad” (ie right and left) but not as much as I expected. Show it to everyone you know, make them gladio-pilled.

  Loaded: Lads, Mags & Mayhem 2024

  ★★½ Watched 26 Nov 2024

  Typical nostalgia bait with bad sociology of the type that makes it seem like the only things that people cared about in the 90s was loaded/lad culture/britpop and that these were the only important things going on.

  This stuff is (and always was) pseudo-counter culture and you can see that in the way it turned out in the end, but even at the start when it was supposedly more “legit”, these were just fucking new labour people.

  I’ve had this…

  Life and Death in Gaza 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 26 Oct 2024

  Devastating. Just worth mentioning, the BBC does the typical 'these are the figures according to the Hamas-run health ministry' bullshit disclaimers when death tolls are quoted, but even still, definitely worth watching.
