Watched "The Five Devils"[2022] a movie that demands your attention with its shifting timelines and for once I wouldn't have minded some dodgy makeup to remind of which timeline we were in. There's a good concept in there, a kid with a gift for scents using her powers over her troubled family

10 years of the Paris terrorist attacks this week and decided to watch a movie on the subject from the pile. "Revoir Paris"[2024]. Virginie Efira is the survivor of an attack and goes on a journey to recover her memory & come to terms. No attempt at why, just a drama of new connections in tragedy.

Passengers of the Night [2022]🇫🇷. Una nostalgia ochentera y las grandes actuaciones de Charlotte Gainsbourg, Noée Abita y Quito Rayon Richter cuajan en este cuento alentador sobre una madre que recupera su vida, un hijo que crece sin padre y una chica vagabunda acogida en familia.

Pensé que le he calado a Cedric Klapisch: el Richard Curtis francés. Pero anoche vi "Ma part du gâteau"(My Piece of the Pie en inglés) y con un desenlace tan amargo, esa etiqueta no cabe. Una obra menor del realizador.

Vi "La Huella del Mal"(Cavern Crimes en inglés). 20 años después de True Detective, seguimos haciendo thrillers sobre asesinatos rituales en pueblos pequeños y los que investigarlos. Una falta de guión y caracteres creíbles la hace un pobre ejemplo del género.

An album of new Lemonheads material out almost 20 years after the last one, time to give a listen to "Love Chant"

Vi "Luna"[2017], película francesa ambientada en un Montpellier veraniego. Una chica y su pandilla de gamberros atacan salvajemente a un chico. Más tarde, ella lo conoce, llega a apreciar su carácter y se enamora de él. Pero las memorias no se mueren. Cinta inusual en la que el chico es el sensato.

Comencé a mirar la serie belga "Into the Night". Tiene una premisa interesante: un avión es secuestrado por el único que sabe que debe seguir volando hacia el oeste para que los pasajeros sobrevivan y se mantengan fuera del alcance del sol. En la Tierra, abajo, el apocalipsis se desata.

Watched "Maldoror"[2024], excellent, based on true story Belgian crime movie with the terrific Anthony Bajon (from "Junkyard Dog"). A bit of inspiration taken from Zodiac with the obsessive cop following every little lead over a long period of time and at immense personal cost

Viendo 'La Casa del Dragón' temporada 2 y puedo decir, con 4 capítulos cumplidos, que es mucho mejor que la de anterior. Otro beneficio es que no estoy mucho en las redes y no padezco los spoilers. Alicent Hightower, te quiero.

Google maps should probably just get rid of the "Open now" filter for restaurants. Who tf looks for closed restaurants

Just been reminded that the practise of pop bands printing the lyrics to their songs on the album sleeve, started by the Beatles, was inspired by a Spanish teacher hoping to help his students learn English

Watching "The Juror" [1996], seems dreadful but James Gandilfini and peak Demi Moore, how could you not keep watching

Anthology 4 tracklist here for all the Beatle people. Purple ones are previously released, which will please no-one. I just wanna hear In My Life take 1.

Por fin vi 'El labarinto del fauno'[2006]. Fue hecha hace 20 años pero los efectos especiales todavía se ven maravillosos. Dos mundos: lo de la guerra civil y lo de los cuentos de hadas de una joven. El vínculo entre los dos no es obvio. creo que es algo que ver con las elecciones que tomamos.

Instant recall of Brass Eye sketch set in Coswick every time I read those "the country/city/West is in decline" tweets. 'And last year, the mayor gave them a goldmine. It actually worked for a bit, this, until someone clogged it up with sick!'

Spare a thought for whatever band had to leave this incredible backline in a theatre in Seattle before the zombie apocalypse in The Last of Us. A ton of guitars and top notch Fender and Marshall amps. Damn.

Watched "Ema"[2019], Chilean movie in which a mother goes to inordinate lengths to make contact with her adopted, pyromaniac son that she and her husband gave back. Interspersed in all this is some striking cinematography and choreographed dance sequences. Captivating & extremely offbeat.
