I don’t want to focus too much on the negative, but this film didn’tstir up much excitement in me. Maybe just because it looked dated (and alittle bit like a 90’s commercial). Maybe because I thought it onlyscratched the surface of what it could have been. Maybe because I wasreminded that I personally don’t like Robin William’s acting all thatmuch.

Anyhow, it’s an ok movie. I liked the directly photography-relatedscenes and the monologues or rather the protagonist’s thoughts onphotography.

Tweetbot was the app of my choice for Twitter for most of the time since I started using Twitter in March 2007. I think it always was a reason that I still use Twitter nowadays, as I was able to see a chronological timeline and could filter the content the way I wanted it. E...

I bet this is a version where Craig Hockenberry had people revising a lot already. Still you can hear the frustration of him, when he has written the blog post.

There’s no sense in clinging to the personal whims of a clown leading a shit show. Especially when his circus will end up being a $44 billion version of MySpace.

As I have written earlier last week, I can’t imagine how the people behind Twitterrific or Tweetbot must feel, after Twitter, without notice, cut off everything – well, a little bit as the pandemic was for me and beyond tellerrand, what Musk is for them.

This, plus the massive amount of layoffs makes me think a lot these days. And I am sorry for all the people who are affected.

I wish this was longer.

What happened? I watched a series?! I guess I can handle 7 episodes. Andthis was really good! Loved all the characters, especially Beth Harmon’sand her adoptive mother’s. The plot was great, too. It was very wellacted; I thought all the facial expressions during the matched werefantastic. The film sets looked lovely (the CGI not so much, though),and a lot of piano music meant I enjoyed the soundtrack, too! It was abit long in the middle, but otherwise this was a very enjoyable watch!I’m kind of interested in chess now.

Nice post by Ahmad Shadeed once more. This time about conditional CSS.

I like to think of CSS as a conditional design language. Over the years, CSS was known as a way to style web pages. Now, however, CSS has evolved a lot to the point you can see conditional rules. The interesting bit is that those CSS rules aren’t direct (i.e: there is still no if/else in CSS), but the way features in CSS work is conditional.[…]

Once again, I enjoyed Leo‘s performance in a movie. Jennifer Lawrence was great, too! And both their characters are well written IMHO. And I do agree with the movie‘s message. But man, is it on the nose! No subtlety whatsoever. Unfortunately it‘s way too long again, too. The first one and a half hours are just dragging. Towards the end, it does get better, and even has a few gags that are actually funny (when Leo amazingly delivers his last TV-speech, and then it cuts to him in the car with the bag over his head: pure gold!). But that unfortunately doesn‘t lift it above its mediocrity. Hm… that sounds probably harder than I mean it. Anyway, not quite for me.

Here‘s one more female-fronted band, I‘m currently enjoying. Like these songs, like their sound, like her vocals (which do sound quite a bit like Björk).

Listening to ERR quite a bit at the moment.

What a morning! Twist after twist after twist.

Nicely filmed, great acting with fantastic dialogue.

My only nitpick is that I somehow found Daniel’s voice to sound somewhat hyper-clear/-real which made it sound a little unnatural.

But overall, this was great!

Finally, after a year, I made an entry to the photojournal again.

Our three weeks summer holiday, weekend camping trips, some bike riding and other activities in Düsseldorf.

Grief can be a witch – or a curse. Whatever it’s called, you have toopen yourself up (quite literally) to get rid of it.

The story and topics are important and interesting ones. And overallthis is well made. But it didn’t really grab me for some reason. Maybebecause sometimes it felt to me that the delivering of the horrors wereoverdone – especially the ending. The special effects were sometimesmore of a distraction.

But overall a good film, with quite a few good scenes. I would watchRemi Weekes’ next one.

Production-wise, this is probably the best part of the Friday 13thseries. Camera work, lighting, sound, are all at least one level up fromthe usual production quality.

It starts very strong in my opinion. But then it goes into thissmall-American-town kind of vibe, which I don’t know, if it fits. Onitself this is a solid film, but in the series, this is the odd one out(so far – haven’t seen “X”). The special effects à la “The Thing” or“Alien” are totally my thing, and were probably the best thing about it.The characters were a bit too “Police Academy”-ish, with The Duke beingborder-line annoying.

In conclusion: a solid movie, but I feel like this would’ve been betteras a one-off rather than being part of the Jason-franchise.

This is more like “Jason takes the ferry” – because Manhattan content isindeed a bit thin. Anyhow, I liked this for the most part. Certainly oneof the better ones in this series. This has quite a bit of humour. Ienjoyed the stunts. The cheesy soundtrack, NY clichés and a nice guitarscene are not to be discounted, either. Solid!

I’m probably wrong about this one. Because I found this to be so bad, I question my own judgement, given all those other overwhelmingly positive reviews about it. But having been through it, I now also question my own favourable review of its predecessor “Knives Out”.

To begin with, this is wayyy too long. It tries very hard being trendy. And funny. Well, I didn’t laugh. It was just silly. Most folks’ acting got on my nerves. The story is pretty constructed. It wasn’t suspenseful. I didn’t like a lot about the filming and editing itself. The ending is just ridiculous. I’m sorry, but It’s been an eye roller for me. And again, I’m probably wrong. Maybe I just didn’t get it.

Well, merry Christmas! This is such a downer!

I think this was very well made and I felt it was nuanced enough toshine a light on opposites sites of what can be a very complicatedtopic.

I can recommend this, if you want to be informed about this topic. Justdon’t expect to not feel depressed afterwards.

Lovingly made. Good soundtrack. But not quite my cup of frog’s breath.

My kind of movie! A story that could well be true. Great dialogue,perfectly delivered (Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson are just 👌),lots of attention to detail, interestingly filmed, great charactersthroughout, funny, heartbreaking. Remarkable front to back!

Loved the atmosphere of this film. And that it’s filmed in black andwhite. So, visually, this was already nice. Pair this with an Iranianvampire girl protagonist, great humour and a top-notch soundtrack andyou have a very fun movie!
