🍿 Chef (2014) brought me back to my residency days in a Baltimore ICU, when the attending mentioned during rounds that he saw the movie with his grandson and enjoyed the scenes of food being cooked, if not the humor. A movie made for Netflix before Netflix made movies.

📺 Broadchurch, Season 1 got my full attention the moment David Tenant screamed Bloody Twitter. The show deserves an A+ for drama, a B- for the mystery, and an F for its medical chops. Fortunately, medicine didn’t come into play until very late, when drama and mystery were already at full steam.

A prediction, based on nothing but this short post from John Gruber and a hunch: within 5 years, Apple will have a deal to stream all college football. NFL may be out of reach, but for many people — Tim Cook included — NCAA is what matters.

Most hotels have introduced a bunch of cost-cutting measures under the guise of “saving the environment”, but this is something I can get behind. Even the tiniest leftovers are good for making your own liquid soap.

A sign from Inn by the Sea in Maine encourages guests to take slightly used bar soap home to reduce waste.

Don’t go to Maine, it sucks.

A scenic view features a marshy landscape with trees and tall grasses, a body of water, and a distant forest skyline under a partly cloudy sky.

🍿 One Battle After Another (2025) was, I imagine, the best movie I will have seen this year.

🍿 Weapons (2025) brought me back hope that Americans still know how to make movies. It is a simple story well told, which trusts the audience to make the appropriate inferences — important for a competent horror — and has an overarching point to make on the bias towards normalcy. Will re-watch!

This espresso macchiato at the Regina Palace Hotel in Stresa was the best cup of coffee I have had outside of home since, well, since the last time I’ve been to Italy.
