#JustWatched Civil War (2024) from A24.

Firstly, A24 have grown up. A lot.

Secondly, a very confronting movie; or, it should be, given the trajectory the US seems to be on at the moment.

There's no real telling who the good guys or bad guys in the war are, other than the President has changed things up enough to sit for a third term.

Hmmm ... I wonder where that idea came from ...

Looking at the combatants, however, there are no discernable differences. The real baddies are the ordinary people letting their inner Lord of the Flies out.

The main actors, all playing press folk, are brilliant.

It's a tight, well drafted movie that moves forward well.

And the last shot is ... interesting.

Finished the Soul Society arc in #Bleach and, looking at the barrage of fillers that follows, I have a good idea where and why I dropped the series back in the day. Let's go, Arrancar arc!

#AmWatching the first episode of Friends and Neighbors on Amazon Prime. In the second scene, John Hamm does a Don Draper demographic-laden analysis with a young ingenue at the bar. I never really got into Mad Men, but maybe this will be the season for it. I like John Hamm, though.

Just finished watching #TheWildRobot. I think Dreamworks outdid itself with this adaptation. As much as I have loved every Pixar film I’ve seen, this one tops them. The overall artwork, animation, and voice acting are utterly gorgeous.

The extras included on the disc are very entertaining too.

#AmWatching it again at least twice more before I have to return it to the library. Will probably get my own copy eventually.

This scene had massive #LockedTomb energy.

My mom wants to watch Yellowstone and I keep calling the show Yellowknife by mistake πŸ™ƒ You know you're a Canadian with brain fog when...

#Adolescence is an impressive show, with stunning performances. The gimmick of each episode being a one-shot and real-time reminded me of the fad for live drama TV in the 90s/00s. It was done v well, but I think the form ended up limiting the storytelling too much.

There wasn't enough meat to the incel theme to have bothered invoking it, IMO. Mentioned it without saying anything about it. I didn't get a clear enough picture of how the murder happened or why.

Needed 4 more episodes

Spent an hour looking for something to Watch that would agree with my headache and settled on the Anne of Green Gables miniseries from 1985. I'd forgotten how much I loved this show when I was growing up. I've seen other versions and I know it's not as accurate to the books as some would like. But, it is and always will be the definitive version for me. πŸ“–πŸ©·

Y'know I'm a multi-tanker, so while I'm still working on last week's book and movie, I'm also starting these!😁
