    Just watched The Lego Movie earlier tonight. I went into it thinking it’s just a kids’ movie, probably not much for substance. But I was pleasantly surprised! For what’s essentially a giant ad for Lego, the movie has no business being actually that good. 10/10, thoroughly enjoyed it.

    I started watching Twin Peaks this week. It’s been in my backlog for ages but a podcaster I like mentioned it and I decided to jump it to the front of the queue. I’ve only just finished season 1 but I like it a lot. It has a lot of the surreal vibes that David Lynch is so good at. Kyle MacLachlan character is very fun

        I’m unfamiliar. Is that like a film or special? Can you explain what it is without spoilers?

          It’s a movie, and part of the overall story. It was the original “end” to the series, in a sense, before season 3 was made.

    I watched “Dark Matter” on apple-tv. Expected lame-ass speudo-science bullshit-bingo with bad acting but got a short series with some surprises, interesting takes, smooth story-telling and only little bad acting :D

    Would give it a 7 out of 10 and would recommend if you are into easy-to-follow sciency drama stuff.

      If you enjoy hard science fiction, I highly recommend The Expanse.

        Been rewatching it from the start again. Currently on S5. It’s pretty much made all other sci-fi (certainly that set in space) redundant for me. Everything else looks naff and amateurish.

          The audiobooks narrated by Jefferson Mays are a treat too, and we get the complete, rich story at the end that they tried to squeeze in and hint at but couldn’t do right in the series (IMO).

    The second season of The Alienist, because its leaving Netflix and I watched season 1 ages ago. I really enjoyed the focus on the female detective (Dakota Fanning) standing her ground in a man’s world.

    And HBO Documentary The Janes about the Chicago underground womens network that helped thousands of desperate women to safe abortions before Roe v Wade. Especially in todays political climate an impressive watch.

    I’ve been recovering from a minor procedure the second half of this week, and my chronically anti-movie (at least in one session) wife and daughter agreed to sit through one. Not wanting to overplay my hand, I had us watch Barbie, which I’d already seen, and it really holds up as a sweet and slightly bonkers primer on fourth wave feminism and toxic masculinity. Another case of a movie that it’s possible to overpraise, but it’s also absolutely another one that’s better than a toy commercial had any right to be.

    They watched the whole thing and only got mildly annoyed that it “had too many sad parts,” so overall a big win.

    Now, when to introduce The Last Jedi…

    Shetland, almost the whole season 6. One episode left for later, and 2 seasons overall.

    Love British crime shows.

    Evil Dead Rise for the second time.

    Well, I started watching it but I can’t continue because I already know what happens and I like the family in it too much to watch them go through it again haha

    It’s an awesome movie, hands down one of the best in horror cinema this decade

    Watched the Korean movie Wonderland on netflix last night. It was pretty good, but like many korean movies/series, the ending wasn’t great. I like how they seemed to be showing

    Spoiler

    the perils of AI technology on human relationships, especially with how it was being used

    then proceed to end the movie with

    Spoiler

    the AI becoming a hero, and never acknowledging how evil of a company and product it was.

    Gundam Wing. I remember it being promoted on Toonami back in the day but only managed to see a few episodes and its serial nature made it hard to follow the plot. The animation quality’s still really great thanks to its art direction.

    Another low tv week. Watched parts of the opening ceremony, but the rest was via YouTube again. Tasting history, and interviews done by Rick Beato. Specifically the interviews with the members of The Police, but also caught one with Tim Henson that was surprisingly interesting.

    That’s it though, I’ve been too busy to watch anything else

      Youtube compression is ually shit for movies, you’re better off watching them from a source with higher quality if you care about that

        Yeah, I usually watch them in a window on a computer screen, so image quality isn’t that big a deal for me. Also, I think a lot of the kids these days watch movies on the phone.

          I’m gen z and I prefer it on computer screens because computers have way better power to render it and I can watch in high res
