Going to see The Book of Mormon tonight. I’ve no real idea what it’s about, which may be the best way to approach it, I don’t know.

Very weird. I’m trying to sign in to YouTube on my Mac. The signin page gets intercepted by Microsoft’s SSO page, which wants me to log on with my City Lit account. I did a course there last term. They used Google Classroom, so that was the last way I signed in to anything Google. But I want to sign in with my Google account.

Watched: Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl 🎥

Another one we watched over Christmas. Rewatched, actually, as we saw it when it came out last year.

Tons of fun, of course. Four stars.

Watched: A Few Good Men 🎥

I’m trying the Micro.blog films feature, for more control than the Letterboxd RSS feed.

We introduced our daughter to The West Wing over the last few months, and needed more Sorkin. Also RIP Rob Reiner. It’s a great film. I’d give it four stars if this had them.

The world turns, and just like that, it’s a new year. Happy New Year, everybody!

I didn’t know creating a list on Letterboxd would add an entry to my feed, and thereby create a post on my blog. It was only meant to be a place to record the films we watched recently, prior to me writing about them. Oh well.

Incredibly, and contrary to my previous post, I remain unwhammed after shopping in the West End on the Saturday before Christmas. Wow.

It was busy, you won’t be surprised to hear.

It is the 20th of December, and incredibly, I have not yet been Whammed! Which probably just shows how little I go out.

I’m shopping in the West End today, though, so Whamaggedon seems inevitable.

Every time I try to share a link to GoodLinks on my Mac, the sharing app crashes. This applies to both Safari and NetNewsWire. Haven’t tried from anything else yet. I may reboot.

There’s something way wrong with this list from Variety of the 100 all-time best comedy films. There are hundreds of those lists, of course.

But this one has Airplane at only 62. 62! And then compounds the error by making number 1 be… The Naked Gun. A fine and funny film, to be sure; but not as good as Airplane. Certainly not 61 places better than it!

‘[W]e might have to wait two years for the conclusion’ I wrote almost six years ago.

The conclusion of The Book of Dust arrived the other day. I haven’t started it yet, and now I’m thinking I might go back and reread the previous one first.
