Watched Heat, 1995 - ★★★★★
I regret waiting 30 years to watch this. What do you say I buy you a cup of coffee?
Watched Jay Kelly, 2025 - ★★★
I was a little underwhelmed at first but the last 20ish minutes really got me. My rating is mostly because this left me feeling sad and a little empty but I might change it later after I've had some time to think about it more.
Rewatched Ghost World, 2001 - ★★★
This post was supposed to be my entry for December's IndieWeb Movie Club hosted by Dr. Matt Lee. I still haven't read the graphic novel that this is based on but that was my original plan. I'm curious whether the ambiguity and almost fantastical...
Watched Apollo 11, 2019 - ★★★★
Rewatched Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, 2005 - ★★★★★
I miss Val Kilmer. Yeah, that's right. Big tough guy.
Rewatched The Muppet Movie, 1979 - ★★★★★
O: I didn't like that they kept chasing Kermit.
Watched The Warriors, 1979 - ★★★★½
A friend was telling me about this movie and it made it such a fun watch with the added context and perspective from a fan. Can you count, suckers?
Finished Reading Scatter, adapt, and remember by Annalee Newitz
Watched Sorry, Baby, 2025 - ★★★★
This is one of those films that deals with a very difficult topic in a different way than other films. There's a lot of standout moments here but the scene with the sandwich really got to me. I wouldn't recommend you watch it without checking the...
Finished Reading Breaking And Entering by Jeremy N. Smith
Watched Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, 2025 - ★★★★½
Even though it felt like the majority of the cast was barely on screen, the moments that they were on were really great. Josh O'Connor continues to surprise me and gives such a wonderfully moving performance in this film. Spoilers: The unexpected...

Finished Reading The Blues Brothers by Daniel De Visé
Rewatched The Princess Diaries, 2001 - ★★★
O: "I liked it but I don't understand why she didn't want to be a princess"
Watched Kinds of Kindness, 2024 - ★★★
My favorite Yorgos Lanthimos movies are co-written with Efthymis Filippou. I liked the multiple chapters in this film but I wish each of these were full length to get some more out of these specific characters. But at the same time, each chapter had...
Watched Tierra firme, 2017 - ★★★
Deeply flawed characters make this a good watch, if sad at times.
Watched Secret Mall Apartment, 2025 - ★★★
I was curious how they would fill 92 minutes with what seems like a fairly small topic. This is less about the apartment and more about art, artists, and it truly ends up being inspiring and heartwarming.
Watched TRON: Ares, 2025 - ★★
It's a movie and it has a good soundtrack.
Bookmarked "DaxDuckDex - Ultimate Collection of Dax Characters"
I never noticed that DuckDuckGo's logo changes depending on the search query. This site collects the ones that people have found. I even submitted a few myself.

Watched O Brother, Where Art Thou?, 2000 - ★★★½
No matter how many times I stumbled unto this movie on TV, I actually never watched it. I'm not sure what it was but it just never seemed interesting to me. I also didn't know that the soundtrack for this film was massively popular after this film...

We are the United States government! We don't do that sort of thing.

December Adventure 2025
This is my second time doing December Adventure. I had a lot of fun with this last year even though I didn't write something every day. I'm expecting a bit of the same this year but that's ok as I believe that's the point. Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat...
