Who am I talking to?

You, of course!

Before writing this review, I asked myself am I going to give this movie five stars because everyone else is giving it five stars? Am I giving it five stars because the last movie had four stars in this one it was more engaging?

Well, the answer came to me.

This movie is five stars because it is a good movie. It checks off all the boxes as far as an action movie and good cinema is supposed to have. We have a heroes journey and I feel that you did not need to know all the details of the previous movie in order to get something out of this.

I enjoyed this movie. I really, really enjoyed it. I did not see it in an IMAX theater. But for the for the first time in a very long while, I found myself wanting to go see it again in theaters. I think that if you want to see an action movie or just a Science Fiction movie or a movie about political intrigued, you cannot go wrong with this film.

One thing that the film goes into is how someone becomes “radicalized”. How does someone justify their actions and whether they’re good or bad in order to, do what they see is right.

Overall, I think I’m pretty excited by the movie and really fighting the urge to see it in theaters again.

Follow the mythic journey of Paul Atreides as he unites with Chani and the Fremen while on a path of revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family. Facing a choice between the love of his life and the fate of the known universe, Paul endeavors to prevent a terrible future only he can foresee.

Updated my About page. I find it hard to write about myself. I don’t know if it’s out of humbleness or just not being very self-reflective.

I feel a lot of people enjoyed Ted Lasso, but I don’t feel that I’m going to miss it a year from now. The last season was kind of hit or miss. I could watch the first season again and then just stop there.

RE: On Micro.blog, Scribbles, And Multi-homing by Leon Mika

I’ve recently read this article by Leon Mika on his MicroBlog. It goes a little bit into the details of where he wants his writing to go. I’ve met people through the Micro.blog and it is notable when I see them post about other blog services that they are trying out.

Profile of Leon MikaI’ve been ask why I’m using Scribbles given that I’m here on Micro.blog. Honestly I wish I could say I’ve got a great answer.

Leon starts his piece with honesty and follows it with thoughtful reasons.

I’ve also wondered why others are exploring the multiple solutions to building and maintaining a blog. After having years where there were only a couple of solutions, I don’t fault anyone for wanting to explore and see different options.

Having different blogs to express different aspects of your personality and interest does make sense. And, Leon makes it clear that he’s prioritizing his most important reader, himself. On this point, I really applaud him.

Finished reading: The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson πŸ“š

And by “Finished”, I mean I put it down after the second chapter. The title captures your imagination but it really felt like it was relying on that too much and then began complaining about what’s wrong with the world.

Another reason, I should go to Joe’s Front End Study Hall.

Front End Study Hall

I’m planning on going to Front End Study Hall on April 24, 2024 Noon PST.

I've seen Joe a couple times in some of the IndieWeb meet ups and he always seemed like a cool person to me.

The description of the meet up is as follows:

If you're a maven of markup or stylesheet superstar, or a newbie novice with nth-of-type, all are welcome to learn together at Front End Study Hall

The foundation of a flexible, good IndieWeb website is markup (the “M” in HTML!") that doesn’t drive you batty to debug and CSS that works with it to have it look, sound, and interact how you want, whatever device or format the website is displayed on.
