I bought clicky switches for my Planck (Kailh Box Blue‘s). And new keycaps, too.
🎬 Force Majeure
This is very much a film for grown-ups. Enjoyed the avalanche ofconversations and happenings triggered by that one incident. It‘s attimes very subtle and overall well written. Maybe the ending bit was alittle forced. But other than that, I can recommend this!
🎥 Pneuma Bass Riff
I’m pretty obsessed with this song. And something with delay is usually very fun to play!

🎬 Night of the Living Dead

Wow! This had it all! In 1968! Slow zombies (or „ghouls“), and lot‘s of them that then do indeed get dangerous, TV and radio broadcasts about the outbreaks, flesh- and gut-eating, a child zombie slaughtering and feasting on its parents, conflicts between the living, boarded doors and windows, zombie hands reaching in, stuffed animal heads, power outage, eerie lighting, an escape mission gone wrong, and a mean end etc etc. Sure, it also has some shortcomings, but overall I was left super-impressed with this one. Was way ahead of its time!
Saw the restored 4k version at the Metropol. It looked fantastic!

Woah, ok. It‘s all fun and games until that plot twist. And then it hits you straight in the guts. So this is not a film I can recommend for some light entertainment evening, but I think it‘s absolutely worth a watch, as it has such a gripping story, great acting and is masterfully filmed and edited IMHO.

It Wasn’t Written
It takes years to become good at it. So we read books, take classes, and visit workshops to become better. And still, it may take a lifetime to master it. But more than anything, it is one of the things that makes us human:
Writing.
But now, the algorithms are coming for us....
🎧 The Formless Graves – The Infernal Deceit
🎬 Friday the 13th: A New Beginning
Although a little constructed, the idea for the story is actually notthat bad. But the execution is too long, unsuspenseful, mostlyrelatively boring, and – once again – full of clichés. Sorry, Jason.
🎬 Sightseers

This is a very silly British rom-com in which a new couple go on their first camping and sightseeing trip together and he introduces her to his quirky hobby; she finds interest in it, quickly gets better than him at it - leaving him devastated. This entertained me well.

So I’m left with the pictures of a broken foot, a split lower arm and an endless series of ass-births. Puh! That was totally over-done for me. “Oh c’mon, it’s enough now”, is what I thought during the ending. If this wanted to be shocking, it achieved that! But I found it just wanted to be shocking without real substance. It detracted from the – actually pretty straight forward – message. But maybe I didn’t get all the symbolism and it was all so much deeper. This was scary, though, I give it that. And I liked quite a few other elements as well. But that extreme ending spoiled this for me somehow.
🎧 Unison Life – BRUTUS
“This is beautiful music”, said my daughter the other day (I absolutely agree!). It has been difficult for the other people in this household to escape this album, as I have been listening to this all week.

Suspension
It could happen out of the blue, without any warning. It could happen without you knowing what you did wrong. It could happen today.
Twitter could just suspend you.
Gone. Your Tweets, your followers, your thoughts, your jokes, your conversations. They’re just gone.
Gone, not...

🎬 Cyst
I very much appreciate that people made a movie like this with all itsold-school costumes and effects. And this part really works and is whythe trailer immediately appealed to me. But ultimately andunfortunately, this is a lot of silly nonsense that even makes its justabout 70 minutes runtime seem long.
