🎬 Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan

Movie poster for “Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan”.

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!

This review may contain spoilers. Tap or click to view.

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.

🎬 The Cleaners

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.

TIL: Flush the FRITZ!Box DNS Cache

TIL: Flush the FRITZ!Box DNS Cache

Jochen Wersdörfer Jochen Wersdörfer

I tried to change some DNS records today, and even after the TTL was over, I couldn't get the updated records on my notebook. I flushed the DNS cache on macOS but it didn't work. After some debugging, I found that my FRITZ!Box might be the culprit.

How to do it

Just go to:

Heimnetz > Netzwerk > Netzwerkeinstellungen > IPv4-Einstellungen

And then deactivate DHCP and reactivate it afterward. This will flush the DNS cache without the need for a restart. My changed DNS records were available right after doing this 🤪.
