Maintenance Required is a paint-by-numbers will-they-won’t-they rom-com. With a few twists.

It has all the beats and tropes you’d expect from such a film. Plus lots of vintage cars, San Francisco shots and driving in Big Sur. And Madelaine Petsch looks good in mechanics overalls.

It’s the film equivalent of fast food. And, much like fast food, it’s sometimes enjoyable to consume. I enjoyed it. It won’t make my favourite films list. But I’m glad I finally hit play on it. Rated 7/10.

This week's reviews written in Two Sheds, with many pints of Abbeydale's Manticore.

Maintenance Required. It’s been sitting in my Amazon Prime Watchlist since October last year.

A lightweight RomCom. Perfect way to end the week.

Best thing I saw in the last two weeks: How to Get to Heaven from Belfast. https://oldaintdead.com/how-to-get-to-heaven-from-belfast/
How to Get to Heaven from Belfast - Old Ain't Dead

How to get to Heaven from Belfast is an uneven mix of broad comedy and interesting mystery from Derry Girls writer Lisa McGee.

Head's up, Mastodon users: There appears to be a coordinated effort to impersonate relatively high-profile people who have accounts on various instances but who have not used them in a while.

I've gotten several follow notifications - and a couple of DMs - from impersonators of people I know. The bogus accounts have lots of underscores in the handles, and they repost items from the past, sometimes years old. If you spot this, please report, do not engage, and then block.

Pls boost.
