Lovingly made. Good soundtrack. But not quite my cup of frog’s breath.

TIL: Flush the FRITZ!Box DNS Cache
TIL: Flush the FRITZ!Box DNS Cache
Jochen Wersdörfer I tried to change some DNS records today, and even after the TTL was over, I couldn't get the updated records on my notebook. I flushed the DNS cache on macOS but it didn't work. After some debugging, I found that my FRITZ!Box might be the culprit.
How to do it
Just go to:
Heimnetz > Netzwerk > Netzwerkeinstellungen > IPv4-Einstellungen
And then deactivate DHCP and reactivate it afterward. This will flush the DNS cache without the need for a restart. My changed DNS records were available right after doing this 🤪.
🎬 A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night
Loved the atmosphere of this film. And that it’s filmed in black andwhite. So, visually, this was already nice. Pair this with an Iranianvampire girl protagonist, great humour and a top-notch soundtrack andyou have a very fun movie!
🎬 V for Vendetta
I probably didn’t fully appreciate V’s lyrical outpour, but I stillenjoyed it very much. Lot’s of “1984”, conspiracy-theories themes and aninteresting master-apprentice kind of relationship. Nice one!

🎧 Gnosis – Russian Circles
Russian Circles is the instrumental post-metal band I keep coming back to.
That middle riff in “Conduit” is just perfect!

🎬 Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood
This review may contain spoilers. Tap or click to view.
Jason must stink for miles by now. It’s a miracle he’s still able to surprise-kill anyone at this point.
For me, same is true as with part 6: not the best, not the worst (I think?!). I somewhat liked the ending when Jason’s “face” is revealed and everything explodes. The supernatural hocus-pocus wasn’t that bad either.
Oh, yeah, and I found the very ending hilarious where the one firefighter shows the other where there’s more fire to extinguish – as if that wasn’t obvious.
On to part eight…
🎬 Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives
This episode certainly has humour! Jason seems to be surprised by hisown new-found super-strength. And that makes for some funny kills.
It’s mostly fun to watch (if you’re into that stuff). We certainlyalways have an enjoyable evening progressing through this series. Butultimately, it suffers from the same issues most other parts sufferfrom. Not the worst so far, but no the best either.
🎬 The Matrix Reloaded
This review may contain spoilers. Tap or click to view.
Ok, I have much to complain about with this one. This feels like 80% endless action scenes and 20% story. If you’re into those bullet-time, kung-fu, wire-flying, super-CGI, camera-flying scenes, that will be just your thing, I guess. But I found this eye-rollingly boring. This could have been a one-hour film. It’s not like I dislike all of it; there were certainly good scenes – even partly said action scenes! But overall it’s way too long and unsubstantial. It’s even like the story didn’t progress at all in this.
At least Trinity could simply ssh into a computer and disable the emergency power supply of that building with a simple terminal command. Much more realistic than those UIs in their real world.
And it had RATM in the ending credits.

🎬 Big John
What a likeable dude, this John Carpenter. Just doing his thing, makingthe films he wants to make; not giving a shit what others think.Although having “The Thing” flop commercially really got to him. And hehad every right to be upset about this; because it’s such a terrificfilm. Anyhow, this documentary gives lots of insights about his carrierand his filmography. Worth a watch, especially when you’re into hiswork!
🎬 Classic Albums: Nirvana - Nevermind
A great documentary about a great album. Lots of fantastic interviewswith the people involved as well as notable critics of the time. It’s alot about how this album came to be and what its unexpected successmeant for Nirvana and music (-history) in general. Some excellent livefootage, too.
🎬 The Matrix
Still not much to complain about. Such a classic!
