Finished Say Nothing on Disney+. It was already one of my absolute favorite books, but this was a very smart adaptation.
The series makes me attached to the characters and brings the events to life in a way that makes me appreciate the book even more.
Highly recommend both!
Show 8/10
Book 10/10

What if the first half of Frozen was a live-action 3 hour long Wizard of Oz prequel starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo?
Wicked: Part I: 5/10
Ariana was born for this role and Cynthia is great too, but it's too long and the songs were mostly basic.
Will still check out part two

The same goes for Dune 2 this year. Nothing especially subtle about it and it is still such a powerful experience for me.
I guess I'm finding out subtlety is not an important quality for me. I like big swings and big hits or misses.
Nuances and subtlety are great, but sometimes I don't need them.

Continuing my #Arcane rewatch today with episodes 5-6
Having seen some great and subtle cinema recently, it occured to me that Arcane really isn't that subtle. It's a big story with big moments and emotions.
But is it the width of the brush that determines the beauty of the art?
I love this show.

Finally saw Anora today. I was not expecting it to be so funny!
It feels strange to watch the characters do things that the wealthy and powerful tell them to with very little resistance, but it also feels true to life.
Great acting and character moments throughout.
Strong 9/10

Bonus late night film (because Wampie hadnt seen it) : La La Land:
Perfect sad ending to a movie, wonderful songs and great performances.
The ending elevated everything so much on rewatches. Maybe my favorite ending for any film.
Impeccable colours and visuals all the way through.
10/10

I Saw The TV Glow:
What a cool dreamy movie with a gorgeous visual style.
I was on the edge of my seat for this. Not scary, but just fascinating.
Very trans-coded, but it also works very well just with themes of time passing by too fast and being raised by the TV that I relate to a lot.
9/10

Zordoz:
Sean Connery in a weirdly sexual sci-fi movie.
It honestly had some pretty solid sci-fi ideas hidden in there, but it is too campy in not a good way for me. Not to mention some of the dated stuff there.
Still something that was pretty interesting to watch in its weirdness.
5/10

Jodorowsky's Dune:
Interesting documentary about the making of a Dune movie that might've been. I've only seen The Holy Mountain from Jodorowsky and wasn't a huge fan. Seems like his Dune would've been cool!
His ego is insane and the journey of trying to make this movie is pretty cool.
7/10

Episode 3 is really where the show goes from good to great.
You're rooting for Powder to succeed every step of the way. You're hoping one of her gadgets will finally work. It makes what happens all the more tragic. It just breaks my heart.

The animation is just so strong, subtle facial expressions come across perfectly with no mocap. Just great artistry at work.

Update: Starting a rewatch of Arcane because I am obsessed.
Season 1 already starts off strong, but it only goes up from there.

Not as funny as I hoped it would be with the silly premise. I did connect enough on an emotional level, and it does not overstay its welcome.

Yesterday's @nytimes.com Strands was particularly tricky for me. I thought it was kind of fun to see the Google search trends act as a map of where people play the game.

If someone had told me 5 years ago that the "League of Legends animated series" would turn out to to be one of the best shows ever, I would not have believed them.
But here we are, what an incredible show.
Such a great emotional story full of twists and turns, executed immaculately.
Arcane 10/10

Finished Remembrance of Earth's past trilogy. What a wild last book full of big ideas.
I was originally on the fence about continuing on after the first one, but very much worth it for the other two. 9/10
