I read a book!
🇺🇸 Neuromancer - William Gibson (1984)
I started reading this months ago while playing Cyberpunk. Really visionary & impressive & influential. Also incredibly dense & hard to read. I gave up early trying to fully grasp what’s going on. Occasionally compelling but mostly frustrating.

Zootopia 2 (2025)
Retreads a lot of the same ground but I enjoyed it. I wanted more Judy & Nick showcasing their wits & guile but Nick felt reduced to grinning background character at times. Kind of wish they just continued the story in an animated series.

🇺🇸 The Holiday
🇯🇵 ホリディ
2006 (Netflix)
Cheesy feel-good chick flick I’m sure my Mom would love. Predictable & pleasant & fine. I never really loved Cameron Diaz & Jack Black plays some bizarro neutered version of himself, but I liked Kate Winslet & Jude Law.

I watched a TV show!
Dark S1 (2017) [Netflix]
A German time travel mystery thriller. Interesting story but the finale didn’t answer enough questions. Very hard to keep track of all the characters & their different versions thru time. Watching in German w/ Japanese subtitles didn’t help my confusion.

The Good Place S1 (2016) (Netflix)
Very watchable & generally entertaining show. Can’t say I was laughing all that much but I was thinking “this is an interesting and/or humorous situation” pretty regularly.

Planet Coaster 2 (2024) [PS5] #psplus
I love a good sim game around the holidays, sucking my free time into the void with surprising speed. I played & enjoyed the 1st one. This seems mostly the same plus pools & “flumes”. Fun! But stuff like making paths connect can suck.

🇺🇸 The Best Christmas Pageant Ever
🇯🇵 最高のクリスマスページェント
2024 (U-NEXT)
I went to church as a kid & I may have felt the warmth & magic of it all on rare occasion. I enjoyed the Imogene character & her family, but the final payoff (the pageant) felt a little thin to me.

🇺🇸 Jingle Bell Heist
🇯🇵 クリスマスイブには強盗を
2025 (Netflix)
Feels like the filmmakers used every idea they could think of for why I should root for the main characters to pull off their heist, but I didn’t really care. The planning phase was goofy & bad & there was no romantic chemistry

The Beast in Me (2025) [Netflix]
I love Claire Danes & Matthew Rhys, and any scene they are in is compelling. This feels like top-class tv at times, but honestly cheap & predictable at others. Overall it was good, but regrettably not great.

My default mode for musicals is dislike, w/ the possibility of being won over. I hate the unnatural feeling of suddenly singing & joyously dancing just for the sake of it. Wicked mostly felt weird, but ended strongly & had a few good songs.

Starts off compelling, like an Agatha Christie novel, but just as you start guessing whodunnit they drop the whole explanation on your plate, and it all unravels into something kind of ridiculous. I liked Keira Knightley though.
