If croissant hunting in Paris were a sport, Iβd be a champion.
Finished reading: Orbital by Samantha Harvey π
What a wonderful read. Beautifully ebbs and flows, and feels like a true reflection of the experience.
Drinking by the river in Paris with a β¬2 tall boy from carrefour. Am I breaking the law? Who cares. Vibes are immaculate
Iβm obsessed with this Cate Le Bon album. Itβs got a real swirling, dark energy to it. Excellent listening.

A really bleak tale. A lot of story told through silence. Can see how this led into future Sean Baker movies

My heart rate went over 100bpm watching this. Youβll know the ending thatβs coming the whole time but it takes you on a rollercoaster to get there.
Last weekend it was freakishly nearly 20Β° and hereβs proof I did something fun with it! The false spring we seem to get every single year.

So much funnier than I was anticipating. RPat screaming at himself was hilarious. Ruffalo and Collette were great every time they were on screen. Shoutout to the set design too, really well done.

PamAn and Dave Bautista are immense in this. A tale of people forced to change by the relentlessness of Las Vegas. Has similar themes to The Substance. A great watch

Steers awfully close to Scary Movie levels of absurdity at points. Good fun to watch something so unserious!

How can a movie be hilarious and bleak simultaneously?
Going to get started on a new dev project this week. Always fun to start something from scratch. Less fun in a month when I can’t get it to build, I’m sure.

A tale about loneliness. Gosling as ever was brilliant in this. Can see why he got the Oscar nod

This short film walked so The Substance could run

This is a really gripping film. With the premise being what it is, I was expecting a bit of a snooze-fest but was pleasantly surprised. Plenty of intrigue and drama coupled with marvellous acting all round.
I’m on a roll! We’ve got the Apple Music Shortcode up and running this morning too. Embed music to your heart’s content.
Went on a lovely walk on my birthday earlier in the month. Just flicking through photos and thought I’d drop this one on the blog.
I’ve made a shortcode for the Spotify embedded player in Micro.blog! Here’s a song that I’ve not been able to stop listening to. I’ll do an Apple Music one next. Give me a shout if you find any issues with the shortcode or β¦

So many hilarious moments. The close cut to a body double for Adam Scott revealing the abs will never not be funny
Now the theme is done, it’s time to get cracking on my Apple Music/Spotify plugins for micro.blog. The plan is to tie it into some iOS shortcuts for quick and easy posting.
It took me a lot longer than I would’ve liked.. but I’ve got my first theme for micro.blog into the directory! Take a look at Microwave here and give it a spin!

CageΒ² in a meta marvel. What a crazy piece of filmmaking.
Feels a long time ago since I was here already! Descending into the soup on skis is quite the experience

This film is so complete! The whole spectrum of emotion. Wonderful acting especially from the kids.

What monumental acting in this film, complete masterclass. Not sure Iβve ever seen so much storytelling achieved in complete silence either. My first Mike Leigh film and I doubt my last.
