Google search turning to shit has no joke added hours to my working week. Starting to understand why students use ChatGPT so much - it's confidently wrong about 75% of the time but at least it produces *an* answer.

This week's films:

Adult Life Skills (2016) - brilliant, sad and funny. More weeping than expected but no complaints.

Zack Snyder's Justice League - didn't realise it's be 242 mins(!!!) but really liked it. Actually gonna buy my first DC comic to read more about darkseided Superman.

Can't focus on work but then the band name Toe Hair Chignon comes to me unbidden.

The tie-in media that I really want is a fictional book of baby names in the Star Wars universe
Darth Maul and Savage Opress probably had a third brother named Cuddly Friendkin who they were super mean to at family reunions

This week's film roundup:

The Dark Knight Rises - smashing, Bane is very fun. Bane also more likeable as Batman when taking a kicking

Black KKklansman - hilarious and fucked up, John David Washington is great (and watching this was the only good thing to come from watching Tenet)

3hrs of scream-singing karaoke on a Friday night isn't for everyone but damned if it doesn't get the working week out of your system. The salary men are on to something.

There’s some kind of career optimization coaching bro on Twitter who has translated Remains of the Day into a business book parable webinar presentation and it might be the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen

One of my favourite small David Lynch moments is when he tried to do one of those ceramic art cows for New York City and submitted this and was rejected.

Proposing by having a waiter hide the engagement ring in the dessert is for cowards. Put the ring on the conveyor belt in a sushi restaurant and let the Gods determine your bride.

Watched Batman Begins and The Dark Knight at the weekend and then The Batman tonight. The first too were fine but the last one was a smasher. Didn't even mind it being 3 hours

First day back in person at work and the lack of desk snacks was appalling. Nerry an oatcake

Off to see A Real Pain! Maybe 2025 will see me become ~cultured~ after all 💅
Films I wanna see this month at the cinema:

- A Real Pain
- Nosferatu
- The Brutalist

If I see 2/3, I'm calling it a great success since last month I never saw Gladiator II or Rumours despite strong intentions. A Complete Unknown can wait for streaming ✌️

My relationship with Big wasn’t the only thing I blew up that day. At the Trinity test site I detonated the first plutonium bomb, unleashing a 22 kiloton blast. Had I become Death, destroyer of worlds? Meanwhile uptown, Samantha had her hands full with her own “Manhattan project”

Have accidentally ordered a giant crocheted tablecloth because I am bad with imperial units of measure.

I wonder if I can make car doilies be a thing

Yeah you think that's bad? I just tried going to the toilet.
