Thoughts on Harakiri (1962)

Wow. This was a masterclass in buildup and tension. I knew about Masaki Kobayashi's movie before - a scathing indictment of the samurai and the honor code that they profess to live by - but all the same, watching the movie had me hooked from start to finish.

Thoughts on Galaxy Quest

Finally getting around to writing up my thoughts on this one. I had heard plenty of good things about it from my parents, though I had yet to see it. Finally, we rung in the new year by watching "Galaxy Quest" with dinner.

I watched Godzilla x Kong yesterday

And all in all?
It was fun. Good mindless monster mash of a film. Funny how much some of the stuff with Kong in the movie made me think, just a little, of Primal. If only for the lack of dialogue and the importance of character through action and expression.

Happy Sunday to everybody

Hello all. Just wanted to check in this Sunday (Easter Sunday, for any churchgoing types out there) and wish you all well.
Hope that the year has been okay for everybody. March wasn't the best month for me, I was sick at the start of it and only around the last week have I really felt 100% again, but I'm hoping for things to pick up going forward from here.
Best wishes, eh?

2022

Just a heads up · 9:42pm Jul 24th, 2022

From tomorrow through this upcoming Sunday, I'll be out of town. Going with my parents to visit my sister.

It's going to be a long drive up and back (two days over, three days visiting, and two days return trip) but I have to say I am definitely looking forward to it. I've not seen her in person since Christmas of 2019. (Man, does that feel like a lifetime ago now...)

So yeah, I'm gonna be busy for the next week or so. Still check in when I can, but that'll probably just be in the evenings.

Hope y'all have a good week in the meantime, and as always, take care of yourselves.
