"Alright?"

Monkey Man - A fine addition to the John Wick-esque genre with enough of Dev Patel's personality in it to stand out from the Wick clones. Wouldn't mind a few more of these. Still think Nobody is my absolute favourite of this particular sub-genre but Monkey Man isn't far off. Kung Fu Panda 4 - The most consistently 'good' franchise in animation delivers yet another solid entry. Changes the dynamic up from the previous three and is a lot of fun. I think 5 might be stretching it though. Wicked Little Letters - Surprise of the year! I thought this was funny as fuck with some brilliant casting. Had a great time with this. (Side note, Jessie Buckley is very fit in this).

I loved the first 4 as a kid, especially Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire. I think the gap between Goblet of Fire and Order Of The Phoenix killed my interest though. The fifth book came out when I was 13 and I thought it was a load of shite - I was moving onto things like Stephen King and more grown-up literature at the time (and the Darren Shan series, which was my personal YA obsession) and Harry Potter had cooled off significantly in my social circle at the time so that may have had a lot to do with it. Never finished the fifth book and never bothered with the rest. I did attempt to re-read them about 10 years ago and got halfway through Chamber of Secrets and gave up. Couldn't be arsed. I'll never bother attempting to read them again because shes a fucking ghoul who needs to find something better to do with her millions.

I hate hate HATE this song. Just the most 'bleugh', doesn't-mean-anything song of all time. Dreadful.

You've got dinner ladies working in the same canteen where people are eating out of lunch boxes. Makes you think, doesn't it?

Showing the All In footage was really fucking stupid. No idea what the point was. Hopefully now it's out of their system and they can just carry on producing good TV. Copeland has been a revelation in AEW. I get a massive kick out of seeing him do things like a headscissors. Him, Briscoe, Kingston and Willow Nightingale is the faction I didn't know I needed. When did his Spear get so good, too? I'm still haunted by his 'running hug to the leg' he used to bust out on 2010 Smackdown. Didn't mind Ospreay having a dig at Triple H at all. His "if you're not in it for the grind, I don't want you" line was such a ridiculously stupid and petty way of deflecting that he didn't land the signing he wanted it deserved a Nelson Muntz-esque 'ha-ha!' But he put on an average Wrestlemania, so we'll let it pass I guess. As shite as Jericho is, I really enjoyed the trios match. Shane Taylor Promotions finally won a match! Shibata and Hook have such a cool energy not even Chris Jericho (who is slowly turning into Krang) can diminish them. Tony Schiavone's 'what a night!' as Mariah May kissed Shirakawa got a hearty chuckle. Dirty old get. Alex Marvez is absolutely shite at everything, but somehow it's adorable. His shouts of 'turn on the lights!!' were hilarious. Good main event. Just your standard Dustin Rhodes high-drama match. Thought the blade job added a lot as Dustin looked like he was struggling for everything out there. A decent Dynamite (other than the obvious 'what the fuck is Tony Khan thinking' moment).

"We never get bored talking about wrestling"? Somebody hasn't seen the ratings thread.

Not sure if I've got the dreaded Cove or some other godforsaken illness, but I've been absolutely fucked since Friday night. Shaking like a shitting dog despite wearing about 6 layers. Can't stop coughing, even moreso at night. Throat is in agony, struggling to speak. Bunged up, dodgy stomach, and the worst part of it all is a constant chest/heart pain which makes me convinced I'm going to get rushed into A+E at any given point. Sick of it.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire - Phoned-in rubbish. Bill Murray especially is snoozing his way to a paycheck. Only bright spark is Dan Aykroyd who still thinks these films are Shakespeare. Aykroyd looks like The Honky Tonk Man now. The Settlers - Very interesting Chilean Western. The first half hour is infuriatingly languid but then it takes some really unexpected turns. Still not sure how I feel about it, in all honesty. Imaginary - Saft as shite and full of ropey moments but I had a lot of fun with it. I'd take one of these over an Ari Aster-esque 'trauma is the boogeyman' elevated horror anyday. I also watched Mary Poppins on the big screen. My first time ever seeing it. Shit, ennit?

They gave her the huge moment of ending Jade Cargill's undefeated streak, but her TBS run didn't catch on fire like it should have and since then she has been floundering a little (outside of her and Willow having excellent street fights). She's as much a victim of anybody of the fact you can only push so many people at a certain time, and unfortunately AEW has an absolutely massive roster of people that deserve to be pushed (which makes it frustrating when acts like Chris Jericho or The Kingdom get so much TV time, as much as I like them). Trent's heel turn was brilliantly done, Chuck Taylor's gormless expression aside. Him walking past Sue was ice-cold. Fantastic closing segment, get that belt on Swerve asap. Thunder Rosa vs Mariah May was a good scrap. Mariah May has impressed me everytime she's out there. Thunder Rosa always looks cool as fuck and usually delivers in-ring. I don't mind Billy Gunn holding his own usually, he does tower over most of the roster so in kayfabe-sense, that size advantage makes up for his age. But having him completely destroy Jay White for about 15 minutes was ridiculous. Very weird match with Billy dominating the entire time then going for a DQ finish. It was a bit of a weaker show than usual but they are still having an incredible year. It wouldn't surprise me if they have purposely took the foot of the gas for a few weeks while most wrestling fans are preoccupied with Mania.

Some bad traffic that!

I dunno, I still think SpursRiot might come good.

Stu Graysons comeback was a massive waste of time. Most of them won't be missed as they weren't used anyway, but Dasha seems like a harsh sacking. There since day one and was used fairly regularly. The Boys being released is weird and makes me wonder where the Dalton/Johnny storyline is going now, as Dalton being reunited with them seemed the obvious endgame.
