🎬 Death Proof
This was a whole lot of fun! Unrealistic, nonsensical, and over-the-top fun. A bit too self-indulgent (for Tarantino), and partly because of that a little bit too long. But overall dialogues, filming and the action were great! That car crash and the final car chase were simply spectacular.
🎧 Serpents of the Light – Deicide
For some reason, I was listening to this last Sunday. I haven’t listened to Deicide in years. But it remained in rotation.
It’s Easter after all.
🎬 Searching
This was ok. It was mainly interesting because of how it was “filmed”: completely through computer UI. And it was suspenseful. But in the end story didn’t make a whole lot of sense.
I still wish more people/bands/utilities/companies/restaurants had RSS feeds, so this wouldn’t even be necessary.
Oh, sweet: NetNewsWire – my RSS reader of choice – added the ability to subscribe to Twitter timelines.

🎧 Only Ghosts – Red Fang
I recently came across their remarkable videos again. While a while back I mostly listened to their debut and “Murder the Mountains”, this time I’m givin’ their latest output a few spins. And I am not disappointed!
Videos are now served via HTTPS. This fixes playback in Google Chrome. For now, I uploaded a manually generated Let’s Encrypt certificate to my HostEurope webspace for that subdomain. So now, videos should finally be working for most people!

🎬 The Godfather Part 3
I think Part 3 was a great movie. The story probably wasn’t as enthralling as in the other two, so I think I agree with most critics it’s the least favourite film of the trilogy. But the whole opera bit at the end, that scream (!), and the end scene were very much worth it.
We got tested for Corona virus today. The results were negative.
In Germany you can currently get one free test every week. While we thought it’s pretty unlikely we’re infected, we thought it couldn’t hurt taking advantage of this (after all, we do occasionally meet a few people).
We used “Mein Corona Schnelltest”, and the whole process – registration, test, and test result retrieval – was quick and straightforward. Our test centre was set up in a mall where a shop used to be. I thought it’s worth sharing these two photos.
🎬 Adam‘s Apples
This was trying too hard being bizarre. It’s tricky to make a bizarre movie. And in this case it didn’t do it for me. I think it also wanted to be funny. I didn’t agree very often (and the jokes sometimes went too far for me). Great cast, though.
