A time of sorting
and ending – attempting to clear out studios and make way. Images of a past
that seems a long time ago have resurfaced. And onto the future - slowly enjoying
the cache of book presents –
The hidden world of everyday design is the book of the great podcast. Atlas of
improbable places is such a fascinating book, I’ve been to a
couple of the places, but it would provide a fascinating list of destinations. London’s
secret tubes makes you want to go one of the underground
tube tours.12 Bytes by Jeanette Winterson is a thought-provoking collection of thoughts collected
and organised in such a beautifully clever way – excellent. Onto screens –
Family
Plan – basically it was Nobody lite. Dream Scenario - Nicholas Cage laying out what’s it’s
like to be an old white man or maybe a comment on the vagaries of social media,
either way it was fairly punishing. Maestro - Bradley Coper was beautiful, but the internet went down halfway,
and I have little intention of going back, strangely underwhelmed. Chicken
run 2 – maybe I’m not the target audience but the ‘making
of’ film was mesmerising. Halfway through the second Reacher series – it does what it does, but it does it well. Killers
of the Flower moon was relentlessly oppressive, in an appropriately
way – what a story and the ending vaudeville act was chilling for what it says
about the events.
