March 14: Venom: The Last Dance: bubblegum. Not much to strain the brain in this. There's a very thinly-veiled "some immigrants are on our side" message but of course that's completely buried in the flag-waving narcissism - case in point, the mention of a "grateful nation" at the end to a guy who saved the world. It's ok as long as you don't treat it as anything serious.
March 13: Another somewhat inevitable event and, dammit, we've now caught up. I thought this was in binge-watch territory but no, we're waiting a week for the next episode and another week for the conclusion.

Oh hey the heavy calibre checkov's gun from the first episode, reminded of in some later episode, finally got to be fired and frankly it was unimpressive.
March 12: Inevitable event occurred in Reacher, quickly dealt with in the same episode.
March 11: Reacher: also there's a certain amount of Obvious Setup going on and part of me is just waiting for particular wheels to turn, as they inevitably must.

Problem: editing from emacs over a SSH session on raspberrypi, and lsp-mode isn't working.
Solution: make sure the remote path is the same as the local path through judicious application of symlinks.
New problem: lsp-mode is running a node instance at 101% CPU
Solution: give up.
March 10: Reacher season 3 is quite entertaining, but will of course be far too short.
March 09: A weekend of Sad Rugby Face.
March 08: Watched The Depahted again. In the 18 years since I first saw it, I don't think I've rewatched it, so I can be forgiven for forgetting a few of the details. It's still too long, and I still don't like how it wraps up.
March 07: Given the recent demise of M. Hackman it seemed appropriate to watch The Conversation which, well, look, it's a film of the 1970s which means it's slow and takes a while to get anywhere, but it's pretty good and the twist is nicely done.

Oh, there's a beautiful shot at one point of Hackman standing on a hotel balcony: this wall of linear lines and boxes and in the middle of it all just a single person. A real artistic flex that you can't help but notice.
March 06: Started on S3 of Reacher. The bait-and-switch in the first episode is excellent.
March 05: Last episode of Foundation S2. Everyone's dead. Oh wait, no they're not. It's a little bit tedious, to be honest. The setup for S3 is ok; I hope it works out.
