This really drew me in. It gets increasingly menacing and suspenseful. I think this movie really succeeds in showing how frightening (dangerous even) and really uncomfortable it can be as a young woman (waitress) amongst a horde of men.

Acting was 👌. Hearing some Aussie accent was, too.

No matter how silly the idea of rewatching ‘The Naked Gun’ might be to Bill Simmons and Kyle Brandt, as Americans, they must be gracious and considerate podcast hosts.

Andy Allen: Figma AI looks rather heavily trained on existing apps. This is a “weather app” using the new Make Designs feature and the results are basically Apple’s Weather app (left). Tried three times, same results. This is even more disgraceful than a human rip-off...
