Episode 1 of REACHER has him unfavorably comparing someone’s dress style to Sherlock Holmes all the while deductively rattling off his marital status, smoking history, preferred breakfast cereal and most recent bowel movement.

Got no choice. Free will is an illusion.

Saw THE GREEN RAY this past New Year’s Eve.

Not the Rohmer film but the actual atmospheric phenomenon that serves as the central metaphor in the film.

When Ani & Vanya are endlessly partying in the club: 😫 Aargh! It’s so dark and loud. Go home! This is exhausting

1 hour later when Ani & Diamond are throwing hands in the same club: 🤔 Hmm, this is truly the cinema of the complexity of people and their contradictory and sometimes paradoxical natures

Saved the day by knocking son's Anko Glider from the clutches of a neighbourhood pine tree using nothing but a cricket ball and brawn. Never felt so alive.
