Watched RUN LOLA RUN recently & the movie is still awesome so I tried to stream/buy the soundtrack…except it’s unavailable everywhere.

So I bought it used off eBay and put the CD into my AmazonBasics DVD Drive which I plugged into a dongle into my laptop and am ripping.

Love living in the future.

At some amount of expense and inconvenience, I’ve stopped flying in Boeing airplanes. I’d recommend it. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/5/21/one-dead-as-london-to-singapore-flight-hit-by-turbulence

FURIOSA: A MAD MAX SAGA - A sprawling epic that takes a great path towards prequel success: creating brand new characters we’ve never met before and making us give a shit about them.

Set your expectations: this isn’t structured at all like FURY ROAD. It’s much more ambitious with a great deal more lore and world building.

Breathtaking action. Anya-Taylor Joy is magnificent. What a theatrical experience!

Saw OLDBOY in theaters last night. The new Neon remastered version is a revelation, mostly because of the new (much improved) subtitles. Honestly felt like watching the movie for the first time. Read more about my experience: https://www.decodingeverything.com/p/twenty-years-later-park-chan-wooks

See it in theaters if you can.

THE FIRST SLAM DUNK is an astonishing technical achievement. An animated film that manages to capture the beauty and intensity of basketball, with a few emotional gut punches as well. Don’t sleep on this one.
