🎬 Totally Killer

Movie poster for “Totally Killer”.

Back to the Future meets Scream. This was quite silly, but also quite enjoyable. Just the right thing to chill on the couch and relax after a long day.

🎬 Bibi & Tina: Perfect Pandemonium

Movie poster for “Bibi & Tina: Perfect Pandemonium”.

Also, oberflächlich eigentlich wieder ganz gute Unterhaltung. Aber das Thema selbst fand ich doch einfach eine sehr sehr seltsame Wahl für diese Filmreihe. Und die Klischees, die die Charaktere bedienen waren schon zum Augen rollen und "Echt jetzt!??" denken.

🎬 School of Magical Animals 4

Movie poster for “School of Magical Animals 4”.

Ein weiterer solider Film der Serie, wenn auch nicht ganz so gut, wie die Vorgänger. Besonders die Songs lassen leider in diesem Teil etwas nach. Aber war ne gute Zeit im UCI.

🎬 Hot Fuzz

Movie poster for “Hot Fuzz”.

Didn't remember the action-laden ending to be this long. But apart from this, solidly funny entertainment!

🎬 The American Friend

Movie poster for “The American Friend”.

Loved the pictures in this film. Everything's so beautiful and moody. I have never seen Bruno Ganz younger than here, I believe. And he and Dennis Hopper are simply fantastic (and the support cast, too). At first I thought the plot could've been a bit more tightened up, but honestly, I think it's really fits the movie and its characters. And it's certainly entertaining and also quite funny how clumsy they are at times.

📄 How to create a blurry status bar for PWAs on iOS

When you install a PWA on iOS (and iPadOS) via “Add to Home Screen”, you can make the status bar – i.e. the area at the top around the notch/dynamic island – transparent yet blurry (so that you can still read its infos like the time or battery status).

🎬 Black Water

Movie poster for “Black Water”.

Actually not bad at all. Good action, and a terrifying crocodile, surprisingly brutal. Has suspense too. Entertaining little Aussie movie.

Beautiful! The pictures, the soundtrack, the story, Hunter. The (quite long, but never boring) ending, where they tell their stories and motivations, separated by a one-way window is just great. I did not cry, I swear!

🎬 28 Days Later

Movie poster for “28 Days Later”.

While this might have a little bit of shitty digital quality, I think otherwise this really holds up well and is a great entertaining zombie film. The story is great, the characters and the acting is there, the infected are menacing, the action is good. And it just has a lot of great scenes. Was again looking forward to that blood-drops-in-the-eye shot.

🎬 Final Destination Bloodlines

Movie poster for “Final Destination Bloodlines”.

Haven't seen a movie from this franchise in a long time. Do I like the CGI-to-the-max? No. But otherwise, it's actually pretty entertaining with great humour. Death has once again packed a fine assortment of Rube Goldberg death machines and bloody butterfly effects.

📖 Ein Hirsch, ein Virus und ein Baby – Nils Wittrock

Wie auch sein erstes Buch, mochte ich dieses zweite auch sehr gerne. Ein, zwei Kapitel waren mir etwas zu ausschweifend, aber ansonsten ein kurzweiliges Buch, das interessante Einblicke in das Leben einen Independent-Musikers gibt im Speziellen zur Corona-Pandemie-Zeit und bei gleichzeitigem Familienzuwachs.

🎬 The Reef

Movie poster for “The Reef”.

Yoah… the acting was quite good, and I liked the partly suspenseful editing, too. But the plot is bonkers and for this to be entertaining, it's not enough action for my tastes.

This week was another Homebrew Website Club here in Düsseldorf. Mark and Jochen came around. It was mostly chatting about IndieWeb and AI topics, but each of us also managed to get some work done on one or more of our projects.

I, for example, published a new photo journal entry. And I registered that site with a WebSub hub and send out WebSub notifications for this new post.

I’m also having fun creating these little animated AVIFs of our little group.

We’re in England. Two days ago we met Jasper and he took us on a walk along the Seven Sisters cliffs between Eastbourne and Brighton. It was great meeting in person and talk, take photos and getting rained on. And while I’m only hoarding negatives, he has photos posted to his blog.

🎬 12 Angry Men

Movie poster for “12 Angry Men”.

Pretty perfect movie, if you ask me. The 12 more or less angry men are all so good. The whole concept of only talking about a murder case after the trial, surfacing ever more details and eliciting more of the jurors characters, was so good. Suspenseful and entertaining. A timeless classic.
