The book Alea Aquarius in my hand.
Alea Aquarius is what we’re reading to Zoe. It’s part 3. The thickest, yet.

Still sick. Still stuck at home. Mostly in bed.

This is very well made and played. But in the end there was just no real story. I was close to switching this off after the first hour, during which I thought "I don't think I need a film about people in the US arguing over Covid policy and BLM stuff". It picks up speed after this, and you think "now here's what it's about", but then to be disappointed - because: no, it's not (and this happens multiple times). Nothing ever seems to really matter. Except - seemingly - the opening of that data centre, which is the second to last scene. But then, the film's too long IMHO. I don't know. But, yeah, it looks great and has fabulous acting.

The move is finally done. There are little bits and bobs left, some conveniences of life need to still be installed, but the last main thing that was missing, which was our kitchen, is now done. And slowly, I feel like I have a bit more capacity for things that are not strictly family or work.

Nice addition to an already great set of features! If all works to plan, this should show up as a status update on my website any minute now. 😊

This was an entertaining film! Performances are great. It's funny and absurd. How it's made reminded me of Ari Aster movies. And it seemed to me like they made a whole movie out of that dialogue Nic Cage has with the fine dining chef in Pig. Anyway. What makes it miss a recommendation, is maybe that I found it too serious at times and the lack of fleshing out all those guest characters more. And the arguments with which she escapes are kind of a cliché. But man, that burger looked tasty! And how she enjoys it on the boat when all the others explode was actually a good ending IMHO.

A fridge door, open. There‘s a few packs of Polaroid film to see.
Our fridge currently always needs to have enough space for all the film.

Love the music, love the set and costumes, the pretty night shots, the characters, the dialogue, the humour. A pretty perfect movie!
