The Adam Project, 2022 - ★½

Wow, this was boring. An hour in felt like 2 hours. Not even the Ryan Reynolds charm could save this script.

Kings Park calm.

Turning Red, 2022 - ★★

Watched on Friday March 18, 2022.

As fun as getting back onto a basketball court is, at what point do I accept it’s no longer something I should do? Especially after possibly breaking a toe earlier in the day. Now my knee joins the injury party, not to mention the generalised leg soreness. 🏀

It was fantastic to finally meet my NBL Pocket Podcast co-host in real life. Joe does exist! And so does Nick Tan!

Hi micro.blog gang! I wasn’t able to join the Town Hall live, but I’m watching the replay.

Uncharted, 2022 - ★★

An absolutely ridiculous movie that made me laugh because of just how preposterous it was.

CODA, 2021 - ★★★★★

It for me right in the feels. Amazing singing and acting. The treatment given to the school duet was incredible.

In Episode 51 of @hemisphericviews we talk Severance. Thanks @neatnik for making a Lumon Industries business card generator.

It’s not much, but it’s something. 🇺🇦

Zootopia, 2016 - ★★★

Watched on Friday February 18, 2022.

Volume 2 of my Day One journal has arrived. // @patrickrhone

My 6-year old man broke his leg last night! The bone broke right through, but thank goodness for a great hospital system than got his leg set and in a cast right away. 😢

Encanto, 2021 - ★★★

My favourite character was... a house? I was surprised by the ease with which the fractured relationship with Grandma was resolved.

I did the “thumbs up” ride today. 🚴🏻

Is there anything better than an ice-cream truck on a hot summer day?

The Hemispheric Views logo on the Core Intution website. I love it. Proud to be the sponsor of Episode 498.

I was in one of the old buildings of University of WA today, and came across this beauty of a machine. Dymo Lyfe, @martinfeld

Apparently the #10YearChallenge is a thing. Here’s mine. 10 years ago I was already an Apple nerd - but a skinnier one with less grey hair.

Rodman: For Better or Worse, 2019 - ★★★★

Is the story and life of Dennis Rodman a tragedy or a comedy?

Watching this film gives me the impression that Dennis himself doesn’t know. I tend towards the former.

The Matrix Resurrections, 2021 - ★★★½

Everything is a loop and we are all sheeple.

Rebooted in a way that reminded me of Star Wars VII, but probably better?

So why do I feel empty at the end, and feel the fan service were the best bits?

The Matrix Revolutions, 2003 - ★★½

Why didn’t they call this “The Matrix Battlebots”? I might have watched it sooner. A limp ending to the trilogy that should have stopped at the first movie.

The Matrix Reloaded, 2003 - ★★★

Don’t ask questions, just go along for the ride. The albino dreadlock dudes were criminally under-utilised.

New home screen. 📱

The Matrix, 1999 - ★★★★★

It’s kinda perfect. Except for maybe the Oracle who is just a bit annoying.

On another day that saw us over 40°C, this iced tea was a refreshing beverage.

Cribbage night @tinyroofnail

I created a castle lady with wombo.art.

Go home ants, you’re drunk.

Fantastic Mr. Fox, 2009 - ★★★½

It's only been on my watch list for a decade, and finally I've seen a typically enjoyable Wes Anderson movie with its delightful art direction and distinctive stable of actors. A lovely movie.
