Now that's a good Christmas movie! I'm not sure, if I've even seen this before. The Gremlins are very well done. It's funny and gruesome. I have no regrets and would watch it again.

🎬 Fargo

Jeez! Really super. A little strange maybe – in a general kind of way.
Seriously, this is damn good. I'm sure, I have watched Fargo before, but I really had no recollection. And it surprised me again how good this is. The dialogues, the cast, the plot. Everything's great here. It feels like every five minutes the story escalates. And – oh my – feeding his partner into a wood chipper in the end. Uff…
🎬 Body Double
This is a lot like a Hitchcock movie. But more funny, more absurd with more wacky characters. But still with a lot of suspense and a good story. Is it better than the Hitchcock counterparts? I don’t know. But it was a very enjoyable watch.
🎬 The Alpinist
Just incredible. And tragic.
🎬 The Tenant
I thought this looks very good, has good atmosphere, has humor, and throughout quite a few good moment. The end is great, too. But overall, this didn’t entertain me all that much. I found it too long and his co-workers super annoying (without adding much to the plot).
🎬 Repulsion
I think this must be one of those movies that introduced certain scenes and props. Liked it, especially how everything escalates in the end and how the increasing phobia is played by Catherine Deneuve.
View Transitions API
Last friday evening a had a show and tell with my long time friend and frontend guy Markus. He is currently building on astro and told me about the experimental View Transitions API. Today my RSS Feed contained a post by Geoff Graham which titles How to add the simplest View Transition to my site and does exactly that. TL;DR Put this snippet into your head, when you have a site that has pages.
Isolation's two sides of the same coin
If you look at the trending topics in information technology there is a tendency to spot: Isolation! What is the problem we are trying to solve? While camping this year, I rebuilt the process of how the documentation for a particular software can be written. Instead of the bulky non-comparable proprietary binary file, I wanted to write in markdown and manage changes with git along with the source code. So here is what I came up with:
🎬 Fall
Two women and their breasts get into a precarious situation high above the ground. It gets points for its vertigo-inducing scenes (although, too much CGI), the suspense and that plot twist. But otherwise it's a bit of an eye-roller.
🎬 Curious Tobi and the Treasure Hunt to the Flying Rivers
A wonderful adventure film. Perfect for with your 6-year old. Zoe liked it. Everybody liked it.
Golden Hour Pleasures
Unfortunately, we had to cancel our gig in Wuppertal this Friday due to illness.
🎬 Barbie
Come on Barbie, let’s go party! And what a fun party this is! It deals very well with “the Barbie topic” as well as societal themes, too. But overall, it’s a an amusing film with a gimmicky set and great characters. Which are brilliantly portrayed by the cast. Watching this only once is not Kenough.
🎬 Bloodsport
What can I say? It was great fun to watch this again with a bunch of my friends. And I would do it again.
🎬 Hereditary
This is so evil and dark. This time I wasn’t quite in the right setting, but it still gripped me once again. It’s so well filmed; the audio is great. I just feel like I don’t quite get all the symbolism, which really only is the main topic at the end. But man, the last 15 minutes is just pure horror.
🎬 Top Gun: Maverick
This was better than the original. The action is ridiculously good. It’s still an American navy though. But I like how it relates to the original and that it at the same time doesn’t take itself too seriously. And again watched this in great company (with commentary) which made this all the more enjoyable.
🎬 Team America: World Police
Honestly, this is pretty great! It gets enough points for how this is made with marionettes. Totally over the top (or is it? ;)) and totally entertaining. America, fuck yeah!
🎬 Top Gun
I really had lots of fun watching this. If you have the right company, don’t take it seriously, it’s awesome. It’s in some way its own parody. And the action is indeed great I must say. Everything else is pretty cheesy. U-S-A, U-S-A!

🎬 Lucy
Puh! I’m not quite sure if this is meant as a parody. If it is: ok, but it’s really over the top with lots of CGI and unnecessary action. I don’t know. A weird one.
