loaded question: would you go to a pub or bar that showed movies (instead of sports)?

Tue, Mar 21, 2023
7 comments

I imagine that a movie pub would mostly show classics, ones that people know by heart. This would not be a venue for quiet appreciation of a new movie but more of a communal bonding type of experience.

The idea is for you to get a little treat in your in-box each day, but maybe some would prefer to see them here?

65 movie review: dino droppings

Fri, Mar 17, 2023

Adam Driver’s intensely focused, utterly unironic performance is the only saving grace of this movie of few ideas and little suspense, mystery, or excitement. There aren’t even that many dinosaurs.

Mini Metro

loaded question: what casual video games can you recommend at the moment?

I’ve just discovered mass-transit simulator Mini Metro, and I’m wasting so much wonderful time with it. It reminds me of SimCity, which I was hooked on many many years ago…

Full Time (À plein temps) movie review: mother of invention

Fri, Mar 03, 2023
