I stopped watching Lady in the Lake. it’s very slow. nothing really happens.
Bad Monkey (2024) tv show. only 2 episodes released. funny and energetic.

started rewatching Better Call Saul.

movies I watched:
– A Quiet Place: Day One (2024) little boring.
– The Instigators (2024) loved it. the action is from start to finish. funny.
– Upstream Color (2013) very difficult to understand but I liked it.
– Mulholland Drive (2001) the first time I watched this movie was 20 years ago and it didn’t make any sense. but now I get it. very clever. great cinematography.
– Watchmen: Chapter I (2024) great animation. I like it more than the action movie. can’t wait for chapter II.
– Owning Mahowny (2003) why didn’t I know about this movie earlier? Philip Seymour Hoffman is exceptional, as usual.

Palm Royale was the hit of the season for me. Absolutely brilliant, if a little scattered.

If you like Naked Gun and Airplane, you should see its predecessor, Police Squad. It’s groundbreaking.

Finally finished Pennyworth S1, and it was kind of a mess. The tone felt inconsistent like it couldn’t decide between being a political conspiracy thriller, an action spy show (which it hardly did) or a gangster drama. The whole look of the show was also bad, very muddy and grimy looking. It was a big missed opportunity to not use more elements from the Batman comics that weren’t used in other adaptations before (like, in the context of this show, Ra’s Al Ghul and the League of Assassins would’ve made perfect sense, and even Vandal Savage). Lastly, the show didn’t seem sure enough in itself if it wanted to be very R-rated or slightly edgy PG-13; There would be random moments in some eps with graphic violence or intercourse, but everything felt almost tame.

I’m also slowly making my way in finishing the 12th Doctor era of Doctor Who. So far, it’s fine, but the first ep of S10 was long and kinda boring.

What happened to the ‘Things to Do this weekend’ series that you used to post? Have events in Kuwait dried up?
