Zootopia, 2016 - ★★★

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.

The most epic Jenga game I’ve played. Considering Benji, who just turned 6, was one of the three players — and he didn’t lose — makes it that much more impressive.

Climbing through the Roof

I’ve been climbing and crawling around my roof space today running ethernet and installing security cameras. It was hot in the roof - after a few minutes I would emerge drenched in sweat. I would estimate it was around 60º up there. A few hours after finishing I’ve realised that I’m not as young as I once was. I got an inkling of that in the roof when climbing through rafters and making sure I only stepped on the beams - and not the gyprock ceiling - my hips and legs weren’t loving it.

I’m decommissioning our Apple MacBook Pro (Late 2013). Its had a good life, albeit the last two have been hard as my kid doesn’t show the same care and respect for it as I do. I thank it for its service.

The irony of it being super hot and wanting to jump in the pool, but knowing the UV is extreme and I will burn in 10 minutes. Considering… How does this compare with your situation @gaby?

8-Bit Christmas, 2021 - ★½

What a waste of an opportunity.

Spider-Man: No Way Home, 2021 - ★★★½

Watched on Friday December 24, 2021.

Gallipoli, 1981 - ★★★★

Classic Australian movie that makes me sad for the events that occurred.

Angel-A, 2005 - ★★★

An interesting approach to a redemption story. It kept me engaged but I didn’t enjoy the conclusion.

Home Sweet Home Alone, 2021 - ★

It is just… so… bad.

Crocodile Dundee, 1986 - ★½

If you ever think society hasn't progressed in 35 years, watch this movie. You will realise that many social norms have improved.
