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.

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.
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?

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.
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 - ★★★

I used to know every line of this movie. Shibby!
Nacho Libre, 2006 - ★★★

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 - ★★★★

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

Soul, 2020 - ★★★★★

A beautiful surrealist movie that was pitch perfect. Elements of Mr Holland’s Opus in the story.
Alice, 2019 - ★★★★
Monday, April 5, 2021
Brilliant performances from the cast. An emotionally impactful film.
Back to the Future Part II, 1989 - ★★★½
Saturday, April 3, 2021
Not as tightly managed as the original but still fun. The Almanac is a classic MacGuffin.

Back to the Future, 1985 - ★★★★★

It’s been years since I’ve seen this movie. The editing is great; no scene is wasted. Christopher Lloyd is slapstick gold. Why don’t they make films like this anymore?
The Social Dilemma, 2020 - ★★★★★
