🎬 Black Swan

Movie poster for “Black Swan”.

Enjoyed this once more. All the characters are great and so well acted. (And good job in casting both Natalie Portman and Winona Ryder, two actresses I occasionally confuse anyway.) It has just the right amount of supernatural elements. And I was reminded how much I like the music from Swan Lake.

🎬 Wild at Heart

Movie poster for “Wild at Heart”.

Very violent. Very sexy. Very funny. Very suspenseful. Very sweet. Very quirky. Surprisingly metal. Very nose-y. Very entertaining.

Dern and Cage are just fantastic. And so is Dafoe. And everyone else too, to be honest.

A little lonely in the accessibility lab earlier today for demos at the GDS press launch, whilst AI and Apps took the limelight next door.

🎬 School of Magical Animals 3

Movie poster for “School of Magical Animals 3”.

Ähnlich wie Teil 2: wieder ganz gute Songs, mit einer unterhaltsamen uns sympathischen Geschichte. Vielleicht mehr was für junge Teenager, aber der Tochter hat's gefallen und somit hatte ich auch Spaß. :)

Hesitantly booked my first cycling trip to France in order to watch the start of #TDF2025 in July. Praying it won't rain heavily and all the potential fail points of trains/ferry/cycling on foreign roads won't scupper it

Nice little “slice of life” movie. Every body is so nice. And sweet. It’s funny, too. And it turns out nice in the end. It’s just nice. A little tame maybe. Was ok.

🎬 Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai

Movie poster for “Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai”.

I’m on a quest to watch all Jim Jarmusch movies. This, once more, was right up my alley. The calmness, the humour, the characters. It again featured hilarious dialogues where people don’t understand each other. And towards the end I noticed that the comics the characters are watching seem to give away what will happen next. So I need to watch this again to see what I can discover.

Owning It

For the second time now, someone mentioned to me that it is kind of paradoxical that my newsletter, which is called “Own Your Web”, is not hosted on my own server or under my own domain but on Buttondown. And yes, they are right. I realize that this is kind of not walking th...

Alan Watts wrote in the “The World As Emptiness”:“So in the same way, the coming and going of things in the world is marvelous. They go. Where do they go? Don’t answer, because that would spoil the mystery.”I have to disagree with Watts here.Do ask and DO answer. Again and again. Embrace curiosity, explanation, understanding.Any mystery you can explain will reveal another mystery underneath.There is no spoiling the mystery, there is only the journey of one mystery after another.#meditationThoughts #Kula #meditation #liveMeditation #groupMeditation #AlanWatts #mystery
