Started watching Alien Earth.

Deep space vessel returns (crashes) to Earth carrying collected Alien life forms including a version of the original Alien itself with a couple of eggs. Who brought them back? Who now owns it? Can they even be controlled?
Doesn't follow some of the historical jump scare type of sci fi horror action you expect at every turn, but rather focuses on the type of scare new alien creatures can provide with the occasional jump scare thrown in. Is the Alien that we gave seen the worst of whats out there?

and who doesn't like a little octopus?

4.5 Weyland Yutani's out of 5 hybrids so far

This guy?..we love this guy...

yeah that eyeball is going to give a whole new generation nightmares lol!

after yesterday's latest episode i think its about to get a whole lot worse.
(next week is the final btw)

Fight or Flight: Fun action film starring Josh Hartnett. I had no idea what this was about when I went to see it, it just fit the time (the only other movies were horrors and I don't really watch them). He's on a plane trying to capture a fugitive and return them to his bosses to get his career back, only problem is the plane is filled with contract killers trying to kill them both.

It's totally implausible but a whole lot of fun with some vicious fight scenes. It's probably the closest I've seen a western film get to the Indo action films style I really love. Hartnett makes a good fist of the beginning of his slightly older guy action career.

Doesn't seem like it got a much of a cinema release in the rest of the world.

3.5 chainsaw kills out of 5.

I've just watched Spy Game in his honour. I love me a Tony Scott action movie.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid would be my favourite followed by The Sting. Sneakers is an underrated guilty pleasure.

Feeling pretty mellow these days. This is still, without question, an absolute masterpiece in chill out music for the “grunge” generation.

Over the years I’ve mused about which guitarist I’d most like to emulate as I hack away on my SG. Young, Wylde, Gilmour, Slash have all had their moments in the sun. Right now though it’s Cantrell. Dead set genius.

The harmonies that AIC came up with were magnificent. In saying that of their ilk I still reckon another couple of dead singers in Scott Weiland and Chris Cornell did it EVEN better. God damn the 90s was absolutely the best era for rock music. Ever.

I’ve also been strumming the acoustic a bit lately, my go to is Dean DeLeo of STP. Him and his brother come up with some beautiful jazzy chords which somehow work in a grunge genre. Geniuses the pair of them.

Let's just wait until someone drowns before they row back on this one. Pun not intended.

While some people keep their opened ketchup in their kitchen cupboards, others argue it belongs in the fridge. Where do you stand on the debate?

Awesome article.

I can’t wait for next weeks ‘shall I put pineapple on pizza’ debate

INSANE CLOSE RANGE TORNADO INTERCEPT CARAGABAL, NSW! Watch as trees are blown apart near Caragabal, NSW as Neil intercepts a strong tornado this afternoon! This is some of the most incredible close...

We really need to invest in facilities that detain people that are unwell, and ensure there are as little abuse of that as possible while educating people to remove the stigma of that approach.

I feel that's been helped with celebrities going into rehab centres and talking about it, but we can't throw people into the community and expect good results. That's been an utter failure.

Sydney Sweeney is really growing on me

She’s also apparently really offensive for the mere fact she exists

Yep she got those bad jeans after all.

And NZ is motorcycle paradise. I didn't appreciate how good it is until I left.

It is SO fucking good.
I reckon I've now ridden in over a couple dozen countries... 8/10 of my favourite roads are in NZ.

the other 2 are?

8/10 was more of a "vibe thing".
But Mount Everest would be top-10. And perhaps the “Zig-Zag Mountain Road with 72 Turns” also in Tibet.
I vaguely recall a road in Morocco which would maybe be #11. Brecon Beacons up there too.
I really need to get to Stelvio Pass one day.

@taniwharugby the knowledge is part of the value IMHO
