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.

I watched this without knowing it was a Martin McDonagh movie. It made perfect sense to me why I loved it so much after finding that out.

Super long but less dry than I thought it would be. Brody is ridiculouslyΒ good. Ultimately if youβre going Β 3+ hours I want more payoff than we really got
Also here’s a lovely cat I rudely woke up to take a photograph of π
A glorious shot from a rooftop in Marrakech. I’ve got a lens for my mirrorless camera that’s from a disposable, and adds so much character to photos.

I counted more than five people leave the cinema during this. Talk about flight risk

Shot so inventively and a story told eloquently. Great film
A while back I started work on a plug-in for Micro.blog that would allow you to embed streaming players for apple music and Spotify. I completely forgot about it until I wanted to shout about an album I’ve rediscovered. With that in mind, I β¦
Another January ski trip done. The beauty of the landscape always blows my mind whenever I’m not in a haze of too much exercise and Aperol. The ultimate way to get away and come home feeling refreshed.

Getting Culkin in was an inspired choice. Great film, nice emotional plot with comic relief throughout.
