Well hey, its got the filter where everything looks blue and gray. They play with the lighting almost every episode. There appears to be some CGI. Definitely for the lads, lots of booze, smoke, gore. Some of the acting is really competent and other bits are really cringey, but they make a good show to talk shit about. Abrupt plot twists are part of gangster shows, but some of these are just implausible. Suddenly all these geniuses fall in love and put years of plans and family in the trash. Anyway, there's a bit too much talk of how awesome everyone is and lack of actually being awesome.
Still, I'm enjoying myself and I'm now in season 2 steaming along.

YT: Permaculture Farm Tour
https://youtu.be/dztgMnaH1rw
these people have really gone for it. farmsteading. growing all their own food, even only burning wood from their land in their oven, which is a giant one they built that stays warm for 4 days. pretty nice. but yeah, i saw a lot of stuff i recognized, plant wise, but i hadn't seen it set up like they have it. and yeah, some things are ugly, like big plastic planters. but they seem to be working and without a doubt these people have an amazing setup and accomplishment.

thankfully i have access to a food saver vacuum sealer, so i can try this out.

I heard about some games that help you program and went down a rabbit hole. I found Zachtronix and did some research about their games. This was "an easier one" than others. Its visual programming. Moving stuff around from A to B. I think the mind games might be fun, but also I know this stuff starts to feel like work at some point.

This is the savory waffle I've been looking for. Basically it is grits cooked on the stove, mixed with cheese and bacon, and put in a griddle. Nice and simple.
But I always like to switch things up. I'd use canned hominy.

Like she says though, this dish might be best for people that don't like vegetables.

Film: The Big Lebowski
Well I'd seen this before. I remembered a few scenes, but many seemed new. I was surprised how intricate the unconscious scenes were. Flying and bowling, were they glimpses of heaven? Sometimes their conversations were so annoying that I cringed. Other times I could just watch and enjoy. I was expecting a bit more because this movie is so popular. I can't tell if this is a hollywood film or an art film. Can it be both? Are the tropes hackneyed or are some of them rooted in this film?
Well anyway, it passed the time. I learned that the Cohen brothers also directed Fargo, which I thought was supposed to be very gruesome. Lebowski wasn't gruesome, although he did end up in the same place as he started.

Film: The Bodyguard
The acting is bad. Whitney Houston's performance is forgivable, she isn't a trained or experienced actress. Kevin Costner is abysmal. He is trying to sound like a battle hardened warrior, but ends up sounding like a constipated and angry dad.
The shots are pretty. Lots of dark yet well lit scenes that add to the drama. But they are too long, too often we are looking at nothing wondering what is going on.
The movie is too long. I was really surprised by the whodunnit nature of the film, like I thought this was an austere minimalist film and didn't even realize I should be trying to figure out which character was responsible for all the drama. So yeah, suddenly I feel like I've been watching the whole thing wrong, and don't feel like going back to watch more, because I'm bored.
There are some real hardass samurai moves, that are actually awesome, but they are so far apart that they almost don't fit with the rest of the movie.
There are a few deleted scenes floating around on the internet, some worth watching.
Overall, the movie is a cultural touchstone, especially because of the song I will always love you, but also because the shooting takes place at the Oscars.

Well he goes over a few internet viral type things that I've seen on reddit before. But he also covers OAN, which is a bullshit news network that gives him softball questions.
I'd never heard of OAN before, but I do remember something very similar during the Bush II era. A flimsy journalist in the media pool for the white house fucking stuff up. Free speech and all.
Anyways, I can't remember if I laughed. But I learned a bit.

Film: Dead Presidents
A pretty slow moving film. I'm not sure how well the characters were developed. Looks like they were chopped together, tossed in at unpredictable times.
The first half of the movie was prettier in the first half, visually.
The scenes in Vietnam were interesting. Less stupid shit and more of just terror and fear. It made war look terrible. But the scenes in the city seemed less interesting. I mean, I guess there was a blue filter for so much of the movie. Things looked kinda dull.
But yeah, there were plenty of surprises in the plot. It managed to avoid quite a few of the tropes that I thought it was leading into.
This was an interesting take on the African American's role in the the Vietnam war and its aftermath. It made me realize how Deer Hunter, Platoon, Rambo, and others are all about white people.

i am creeped out that quite a few of the characters have almost no actual development. who is ron swanson
aubrey plaza is too well cast as an angry teenager. but she's 24. i hope she doesn't have an eating disorder
some of the jokes about being gay, they feel dated, even insipid.
the camera work is fun, with real shots, despite all the stupid zooming in, the picture is good.
falling in the pit is a good song.

A classic film. My cab driver told me he was going to see it for valentine's day.
The film is beautiful. So many lovely shots, up close, of the city.
Patrick swazy maybe not up to the role. The tight shots on his face during emotional moments. Argh, I don't know why they asked him to do things that he clearly couldn't do.
Well the fantasy ghost part was pretty interesting, taking over peoples' bodies, but only briefly. Ghosts weren't just demons, but just, living creatures.
I was really entertained.

a bit of schtick, but pretty fun to listen to, especially the parts where she does tremolo to the strings.

so yeah, you have to wait for an animation to finish before you can hit another command. this is counter intuitive and leads to a lot of frustrating plays. most games made in the last 10 years have action queing.
anyway, i'm glad i don't play that game any more.

YT: ERV and HRV
Trying to learn what an air exchange does.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gi3FbFMc5B8
this video gave a general overview of the purpose and what a house looks like. the photos were helpful in understanding the big scheme
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RtbwkI2lH0
this video showed the two kinds, what they do, and also discussed some myths surrounding the machines
so, the exchange brings in outside air, retains heat or energy, filters, and pumps in fresh air.

Film: Robin Hood Prince of Thieves
Well marriage is a power move.
Alan Rickman sweats a lot.
Was Kevin Costner ever a heart throb?
A few parts of the plot just didn't make sense. Lots of hackey lines.
Why did they get launched over a wall on a catapault?
Was this movie made for idiots?
Some of the footage just looked so fucking gritty.
The witch was cool.

Film: Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
Well the narrative was quite captivating. The whole film holds up quite well.
I saw this when it was released, in the theater.
I'd forgotten most of the story. The sets were really fun.
There were some ridiculous moments, but things were pretty coherent.

Film: Princess Bride 1987
I heard this movie had a good sword fight scene. 2020 is about melee combat. Well, the sword fight scene was pretty good. They did a lot of jumping around and talking, which was fun. The other sword fights in the film were very fast and people died quickly. The contrast was stark.
Most of the absurd parts of the film seemed to be over pretty early on. The second half was much more somber and serious, even dark. It seemed like there were a lot of stars in the film. They wore make up to hide their appearance. They did a good job making the film about the story and the emotions. People bond over emotions, they say.
Andre the giant did a good job with his voice, and the shots made him look really huge.
I laughed a lot at different things in this film, and in that I think it was a success.

This computer he talks about, it costs about 16,000 dollars when its been turned up to a decent setup. The RAM is ridiculously overpriced. It doesn't seem like it has a lot of I/O.
I dunno, if you want a lot of features and good value, then don't get this. He was lucid and entertaining with his insights. It felt good to get off track and watch this.

YT: What is an arduino
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqrQmQqpHXc
shows some applications, but i'm really not sure if this answered my question, what is an arduino?
How do you get the code from your computer to your board? Usb, bluetooth?
I mean, how much proprietary bullshit is there?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_h1m6R9YW8c
this one was better, i feel like I needed to know that the project is opensource and that the development environment is provided. they connect to PCs using USB ports.
Seems like something I could use for fun.

But hey, Drew looks so dead at the beginning. Poor mf.

Film: The Devil Wears Prada
I've heard so much about this film. Countless students came to me with snippets of the script, asking about particular parts of the dialog. There were summaries of the plot. Descriptions of dream jobs.
Well, the story was OK. The clothes were fun, but not all the time. Some of the lines were hilarious, especially the ones from that journalist guy Christian. But then there were some that I guessed before they were said... it could have been a bit punchier many times.
Some of the montages were really beautiful. Occasionally they stuck on someone's outfit.. and I wanted them to stay longer. They only zoomed in on Anne Hathaway's face once... where's the film noir starlet shot when you need it? They should have given us more eye candy.
Some people played this up too much, but it didn't disappoint. It was pretty good, so people weren't wrong.
Well, maybe I should follow this director or something? The pictures were definitely memorable. And, Korean fashion goals make more sense now.
Lovely.
