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 - ★★★★
Sunday, January 16, 2022
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
Saturday, January 15, 2022
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
Saturday, January 15, 2022
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 - ★★★
Friday, January 14, 2022
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
Monday, January 3, 2022
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
Thursday, December 30, 2021
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. Now the general soreness is setting in. I wonder how I’m going to pull up tomorrow. Probably not well.
The photo is one I took from the deepest recesses of my roof. We had to get cable from that corner to the other end of the house. Then do that same thing another 3 times. We got the job done. I owe a huge thanks to my mate Daz - without him I couldn’t have done it. What a legend.
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

Gallipoli, 1981 - ★★★★
Sunday, November 21, 2021
Classic Australian movie that makes me sad for the events that occurred.
Angel-A, 2005 - ★★★
Wednesday, November 17, 2021
An interesting approach to a redemption story. It kept me engaged but I didn’t enjoy the conclusion.
Home Sweet Home Alone, 2021 - ★
Saturday, November 13, 2021
It is just… so… bad.
Crocodile Dundee, 1986 - ★½
Monday, November 1, 2021
If you ever think society hasn't progressed in 35 years, watch this movie. You will realise that many social norms have improved.
Free Guy, 2021 - ★★½
Saturday, October 23, 2021
A fun romp with plenty of fan service for gamers and YouTubers. Would have benefited from a shorter runtime through tighter editing.
Hocus Pocus, 1993 - ★★★
Thursday, October 7, 2021

Dude, Where's My Car?, 2000 - ★★★★★
Thursday, September 23, 2021
I used to know every line of this movie. Shibby!
Nacho Libre, 2006 - ★★★
Saturday, September 4, 2021
It’s silly but it’s fun. Perfect Friday night movie with the kids.
Bo Burnham: Inside, 2021 - ★★★½
Thursday, September 2, 2021
This provides a stark reminder of how incredibly uncreative I (and probably most people) am. Through imagination, technology and the support of the Bezos delivery system, Burnham creates something quite amazing within a single room.
Promising Young Woman, 2020 - ★★★★
Thursday, September 2, 2021

The Tomorrow War, 2021 - ★★★½
Monday, July 5, 2021
A fun romp with some requirement on behalf of the viewer to be “hand wavey” about time continuity. Perhaps ran a bit long. I enjoyed it though.
Parasite, 2019 - ★★★½
