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.

TIL: Oscan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscan_language “an extinct Indo-European language of southern Italy. The language is in the Osco-Umbrian or Sabellic branch of the Italic languages. Oscan is therefore a close relative of Umbrian and South Picene”.
Watching a film in its birthplace sears the experience across your mind.

Just started reading @adapalmer wonderful Inventing the Renaissance and already I have questions.
Does our word brute derive from Lucius Junius Brutus, or is that me thinking wishfully?

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.
Lot's of snow. Shooting digitally again. Bouldering. Band rehearsals. (40 photos)

Visitors in the 25,000s one week and the 2000s the next. Pretty certain it isn't the software that analyses the logs, so it must be something to do with the logs, but the truth is I am not all that motivated to dig deeper.
