🎬 Xaver und sein außerirdischer Freund

Movie poster for “Xaver und sein außerirdischer Freund”.
This review may contain spoilers. Tap or click to view.

Uff. Ein Außerirdischer hat mit seinem Ufo ein Panne und strandet im Wald unweit eines bayrischen Dorfes. Xaver entdeckt und kümmert sich um ihn. Die Einheimischen sind skeptisch und die Böse-Buben-Gang ist auch noch hinter Xaver her. Aber dann stellt raus, der Mann vom anderen Stern ist eine regelrechte Biervernichtungsmaschine. Damit gewinnt er nicht nur die Herzen der Dorfbewohner sondern auch den Biertrinkwettbewerb im Festzelt. Es gibt Verfolgungsjagden zu Fuß und mit Gefährten und am Ende gibt es ein Heidendurcheinander, aber alles geht nochmal gut aus.

Tja, was soll ich sagen. Hat irgendwie Spaß gemacht das mit der Truppe im Mondo Bizarr zu schauen. Prost!

🎬 Christine

Movie poster for “Christine”.

Another classic where I don't know whether I had seen this as a teenager. But I really couldn't remember any scenes. This was fantastic, though. Apart from obvious technological or cultural clues, you wouldn't think this is such an old movie. It really holds up.

Now, the film actually manages to portrait Christine as and actually evil car. The stunts are top-notch - oh my, the whole scene at the gas station! - and the special effects when Christine repairs herself are an absolute sensation. Great characters, too - it's been quite clever how the evilness progressively affects Arnie's own mood.

Bonus was seeing this on the big screen, getting to fully experience the film's awesome sound and music.

🎬 Longlegs

Movie poster for “Longlegs”.

Has tons of atmosphere and Nicolas Cage as Longlegs is actually really creepy. Lovingly filmed. And great acting. I thought the plot pace was a little odd (it's high-paced in the beginning and the end, and in the middle quite slow), and the resolution was not all that satisfying. Overall, though, I was really into it, and didn't notice how time flew by at the cinema.

Twenty years ago this past February, Kevin Marks and I introduced #microformats in a conference presentation.Full post: https://tantek.com/2024/044/t1/twenty-years-microformatsAside: This is an even shorter summary of that post from ~200 days ago, which #Mastodon readers never got due to a Mastodon #federation bug (details in https://tantek.com/t5Yo1).Since early 2023, here are the top three updates & interesting developments in microformats:1. Growing rel=me adoption for distributed verification (✅ in Mastodon etc.) * Wikipedia, Threads, omg.lol2. Proposal to merge #microformats2 h-review into h-entry, since in practice (e.g. on #indieweb) reviews are just entries with a bit more.3. #metaformats adoptions, implementations, iteration

Uff! Brutal! And really menacing and suspenseful. Liked this a lot! The gore effects, that sequence when she enters the other body, and how this looked, sounded and felt in general. A few minus points for missing explanations and the what I felt not-so-logical ending. I'd watch this again!

🎬 Challengers

Movie poster for “Challengers”.
This review may contain spoilers. Tap or click to view.

I wasn't planning on joining Nicole when she put on this movie. But then the characters and plot drew me in. I wanted to know how and why the three ended up where they ended up (the film is very non-linear, which I liked for the most part). The acting was great, too.

But unfortunately, it's downhill from there. It's increasingly less about Art - the only really likeable person - and only very slowly unveils more and more about the relationship between the other two. The soundtrack was irritating. And the ending is not very plausible and it's a collage of infuriatingly endless slow-motion shots.

  This is my first attempt at soldering switches into a keyboard…in fact, haven’t tried to solder anything since college. I also didn’t like the open board, so tried to 3d print one…from a template…needs refining, but good enough for now.
