New episode: Cooking in Maximum Security
Very unexpected, on the one hand, to learn that prisoners in Italian maximum security prisons have a right to cook in their cells, and yet also somehow fitting. And the ingredients they can get; kid goat, for example, and red wine for whatever needs it. Also, the sheer inventiveness of creating the tools they need and that they can't just order from the commissary.

🎬 The Surfer
At various points, I felt like this movie might ride a more surreal, illusionary wave. But that never happened. And this is why I felt there are some shortcomings in the plot and characters. But otherwise this does a really effective job portraying the terror he faces. It's a bit like Funny Games. Not as drastic, though. I liked how this all played out in the same place throughout the movie. I'm still not quite sure what the movie wants to say. But that's ok, and might be intentional anyway.
🎬 It Follows
Solid horror movie. I liked the obviously Carpenter-esque soundtrack. And also how the "creatures" looked like and how the movie looked and felt in general - more like an 70s/80s horror film. But I found those "creatures" not menacing enough and the story was a bit so-so in the end.

This was really entertaining. I think it all looked great, the Creepers are well done - and are really likeable - and the acting is fantastic, too. Sure, it's over the top, but that fits the movie well. Robert Pattinson's performance it's just perfect IMO. But also Mark Ruffalo's and Naomi Ackie's. I like the whole idea of the film, and its whole vibe. It's funny, too. Would watch again!

Like these kind of absurdist trip kind of movies. Leo is fantastic, and so is everyone else to be honest. Although I found Sean Penn's character Lockjaw a little too over the top. Two scenes that I will certainly remember: First, how the car chase at the end is filmed. Haven't really seen anything like this. Second: that stunt and whole sequence where he falls down between two buildings trying to jump the gap, then still gets up, only to get tasered around the next corner. As impressive as it is hilarious.

I often say that I know enough about computing to be a danger to myself, and that was amply borne out a couple of days ago. Recently I had installed dawarich on my Raspberry Pi to keep track of where I have been.1 Unfortunately, in all the excitement of getting it working an...

The indie web in 2030
In 2030, my greatest hope for the indie web is that it is a place where people feel free to create, to experiment, and to always be able to ask – and act on the answers to – the question “what do I want this place to be?”
To enable this, the indie web must be open both techn...
