This is some good sci-fi. Full of all the touches of βthe futureβ that seemed wild at release (watches with screensΒ in them?!) as well as showing me the cars in I, Robot were ripped from this film. I want to call out the sound design too, because it β¦
I was picked up and taken for a ride watching this movie. Immaculate. I am yet to see Frances McDormand in a role I am not blown away by, so so good.
Laughed a lot. This is a proper popcorn movie
There is something so deeply satisfying about this song. The sort of indie pop being released around 2008 seems to have this kind of twee lightness to it that I canβt get enough of. I found I Was A Cub Scout through iTunes free single of the β¦
Just merged an update to my micro.blog theme microwave that adds crosspost sources and some new social icons. Enjoy π
Moody bagel shop in Paris at night
How cool is this bag I got with a CD in a record store in Paris at the weekend? Not very often you see this kind of thing.
Hilarious whilst balancing tension. Unique in its storytelling and I enjoyed the lot. Some comically bad punching but also a banging old Citroen ZX
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.
