Happy 15 Years to The Social Network. I’m sick so I’ve been mostly in bed today. I decided to watch this movie again. I still love it. Stellar performances from everyone. The dialogue & film editing is razor sharp. I know they announced a sequel with a new cast. I hope it’s good.

One Battle After Another is a new masterpiece from Paul Thomas Anderson. It’s easily my #1 movie of the year. I saw no trailers for it, only posters. This movie is powerful and it paints a real picture of what is going on in our world today. Bravo to the whole fantastic cast.

Them: “Hey Alan, are you going to see the new Paul Thomas Anderson movie, One Battle After Another?”

Me: “What do you think?”

Hades II looks so cool on my TV and handheld mode on Switch 2. Let’s go!

I bet it was. I’ve only seen clips online and he actually said, “BLM is like worse than the devil to me.”
Yeah he’s all the way gone and old Kanye ain’t never coming back.

Oh wow. Now I really want to watch it soon. On a side note, the newest screencast episode was great and I got to learn more about your movie taste. I knew you would love Caught Stealing. Especially when the main character loves the Giants. That movie was awesome. 😊⚾️🏟️

That match was so much fun. 🥰

alanpressstart.bsky.social @alanpressstart.bsky.social · 25d

I sound like a broken record again. Andy, these are all incredible and belong in a museum. Or at least at the Team Cherry studio. 😊🍒

$70 is too much but it’s Nintendo. But I gotta sit down and finally play these games before the movie. Or I will be lost during the movie. 😅

alanpressstart.bsky.social @alanpressstart.bsky.social · Sep 12

A new Halloween costume for the Pokémon sickos. 😅
But seriously, I never played Minecraft or stardew Valley so I will skip this new game.

alanpressstart.bsky.social @alanpressstart.bsky.social · Sep 12

Good morning everyone. Let’s go! @kindafunnyvids.bsky.social @gameovergreggy.bsky.social @snowbikemike.bsky.social @blessingjr.bsky.social @andycortez.cool #NintendoDirect

Have fun Greg. I wish I can watch it with you guys. 😊

alanpressstart.bsky.social @alanpressstart.bsky.social · Sep 1

And concert right? That Clipse concert was so loud. I was super close to the speakers and stage. 😅

alanpressstart.bsky.social @alanpressstart.bsky.social · Sep 1

Happy 10 Years to the greatest stealth game I ever played, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. I easily put over 100 hours into this game. I miss D-Dog. He was so cute with his eyepatch just like his dad. The Fulton surface-to-air recovery system was incredible. 10/10.

If you want someone to rock the party, you call @snowthaproduct.bsky.social. She’s from San Jose so of course we showed her so much love at the Silicon Valley Pride. She was even crowd surfing. It became a Mexican party when she played Los Tucanes de Tijuana during her performance. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇲🇽

Last night was an experience. Clipse was one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen. Pusha T & Malice didn’t miss one beat. Bay Area crowd was going crazy. Like they said, “Let God Sort Em Out is album of the year. Easy!” Shoutout to @blessingjr.bsky.social @kingpush.bsky.social @the-clipse.bsky.social

Sorry, Baby is one of the best movies of the year. This is a story that everyone needs to watch and understand. The trauma from a difficult subject matter and the questions from this film speaks volumes. Eva Victor stars, wrote and directed this movie. It’s one hell of a debut.

I wanted Bayley to win but that was a great match to start the show. #WWEEvolution

alanpressstart.bsky.social @alanpressstart.bsky.social · Jul 13

Her wrestling gear got better too. 😊

Hey @gameovergreggy.bsky.social. I hope you are happy. My best friends and I had a great time watching Superman in theaters. I loved it. @jamesgunn.bsky.social did it again. This movie has everything. Fun action, romance, comedy and heart. Also Krypto is the best dog ever. #Superman

alanpressstart.bsky.social @alanpressstart.bsky.social · Jul 11

I was not going to sleep without hearing the new Clipse album, Let God Sort Em Out. Hearing them together again is the best coke for your ears. The bars are dope and the beats are off the scale. Pusha T, Malice and Pharrell gave me the high I wanted and the features killed it! Especially Kendrick! 🔥

I beat DOOM: The Dark Ages & got the platinum trophy. Great game, cool weapons and the shield does make me feel like Captain America. But playing this on Nightmare difficulty was truly a nightmare. The parrying became annoying towards the end and the giant mech gameplay was slow. I had fun though.

alanpressstart.bsky.social @alanpressstart.bsky.social · Jul 5

Watching 28 Years Later and Elio early in the morning was a decision I made today. One movie was intense, bloody and the camera shots were crazy. The other one was cute, some funny moments and good emotional ending at the end. Guess which one is which. I recommend both. 💀🩸👽🛸
