🎬 Die Grüne Lüge (The Green Lie)

I commend the sentiment of this movie. And I agree with it. But to me, there was nothing really new in here, however. And it was a bit dry and too long. The more confrontational interviews of the various groups’ spokespersons were a bit so-so. But the interviews with Raj Patel and Noam Chomsky were pretty interesting.

🎬 Sound of Metal

There was not really much metal in here. It was more about how it is to lose one’s hearing. And that was well done, in my opinion. The story itself was ok, but the different sections of the film weren’t very coherent as a whole.
🎬 Blue Jasmine

As usual for Woody Allen, this is a lot about the characters, their relationships, and – of course – the dialogue. Cate Blanchett is absolutely incredible in this. Loved how you got to know about Jasmine’s past piece by piece via the regular flashback scenes. Top!

PJ Morton - Say So (feat. JoJo)
PJ Morton is a singer, songwriter, and producer. He’s the first artist ever to be nominated for a Grammy for the Best R&B album three years in a row. In 2020, he won the Grammy for Best R&B song for his track, "Say So," which is a duet with the singer JoJo, a platinum-selling artist in her own right. But that version of "Say So" almost didn’t come to exist. In this episode, PJ takes us through his original voice memos, the demos, and the isolated pieces of the final studio recording, as he tells the story of how the track was created, then disappeared, and then got re-created—and ended up becoming one of his biggest songs.

🔗 Why The IndieWeb? (Webbed Briefs)
This is the story of the birth of the web, its loss of innocence, its decline, and what we can do to make it a bit less gross. Or if you prefer, this is the video in which I say the expression “barbecue sets” far too many times.
Not your usual explanation of the history of the web and the IndieWeb.
🎬 Everest

Movie about the 1996 Mount Everest disaster.
The movie itself is fairly conventional. But that doesn’t mean it’s bad. Far from it! A fascinating story told via a well-made movie made a good Saturday night.
