Snow and squalls continue, so we are tucked up at home with a very nice bottle of Valpollicella rewatching the #Alienoid movies.

So, in the last three months, I have forgotten most of the characters and plot of #Alienoid, and so now find myself watching #Alienoid2 wondering what the heck is going on but loving it anyway. 🍿 #Kmovies

Ok, with chatter on Mastodon about #Alienoid, decided to watch this afternoon on Hulu. It is funny how this has never shown up in any recommended watching, and that goes to show that their algorithms are not great.

Anyway, this thing is a wild mishmash of alien sci-fi, time travel, and Goryeo martial arts fantasy. Some things were a bit hard to follow, but overall it was a crazy and fun movie. 🍿 #kmovies

I have a #Viki subscription using Google Play, and it looks like because I set this up on my phone I can't rent via a browser on my computer which is how I usually stream. If I want to rent a movie I have to rent it on my phone in app then cast to a computer. I am finding this a challenge because I created a burner Outlook account for the media machine and I can't seem to set it up on my phone to cast, and I don't want to put my actual MS account on the media machine. I may have somehow just outsmarted myself and I have no idea how to get around this.

The Viki help page for rentals is a broken link, so that is no help either.

Sadly, this means no #Alienoid part 2 until I work it out.

Damn it. Why do I have to be security concious.

Alienoid 1 (2022) & 2 (2024) #Kmovie is wild, with some comedy in the mix, both good. It's not your typical scifi future aliens in Goryeo timejump save the world flick (ha!). Starring Ryu Jun Yeol, Kim Tae Ri, Kim Woo Bin. So many well known supporting actors. Jin Seon Kyu has a bit part in #Alienoid 2. Both he and Kim Tae Ri were in scifi Space Sweepers (2021) with Song Joong Ki (I liked that one too).

I hope there's a part 3. There's at least three things I still want to know.
