🍿 Deadpool & Wolverine (2024). ★★½

A rectangular image with a review of the movie Deadpool and Wolverine (2024). The movie poster is on the left and the review on the right side. Across the bottom is a rating of Poor Okay Good Great with Okay selected. The review reads: Being the third Deadpool movie you know exactly what you will get. If you went into it thinking you were going to get another overdone, lengthy Marvel movie which requires you to have seen six other movies and three tv shows to understand the plot then more fool you. Reviewers saying it’s a betrayal or some such nonsense of previous X-Men movies or the Logan character need to chill. It was always going to be dumb jokes delivered in the same goofy way Ryan Reynolds has in the last two movies. Perfectly evident from the previews what you were going to get. I think we can stop at three though. No need for a fourth Deadpool outing.

🍿 Wolfs (2024). ★★½

A rectangular image with a review of the movie Wolfs (2024). The movie poster is on the left and the review on the right side. Across the bottom is a rating of Poor Okay Good Great with Okay selected. The review reads: Clooney and Pitt just bouncing off each other is good entertainment. This isn't at the level the Oceans films were but I don't think it's as bad as a lot of people seem to think it is. There were some plot lines which seemed to go nowhere, the whole doctor knowing them both, and a major new high end hotel having cameras in the rooms is not credible. It would be out of business the minute one was discovered by a guest. It rolled along perfectly fine and wrapped up neatly but with an opening for a sequel. Standard stuff.

📺 Finished watching Slow Horses Season 4 (2024) ★★★★½

This show just gets better with each successive season. I’ve deliberately avoided the books so I can enjoy the story unfold and I managed to stay spoiler free to binge this. They might not get on all the time but the Slough House team can come together when needed. Gary Oldman just gets seedier with every outing and Kristin Scott Thomas is the quintessential cold and ruthless agent, with just a touch of humanity showing through.

📺 It’s time to settle in and watch the last episode of Slow Horses S4. This show is so good but I can’t wait for weekly drops so held off and then watched the first five episodes over the last two nights ready for the final.

The local state Greens mp is set up along the river in West End talking to people. With only three weeks until the election I had to look up who the Labor candidate is that’s how invisible they are.

You can’t just turn up at the Saturday markets occasionally and hope people remember you.

📷 Started going through my photo albums a week ago to get rid of screenshots, duplicates etc. I’ve accumulated a lot of unwanted stuff over the years.

I’ve just finished the cull and there’s now 10,728 photos in the recently deleted album. Now to go through the 836 photos I dropped into “misc”.

🍿 Predestination (2014). ★½

A rectangular image with a review of the movie Predestination (2014). The movie poster is on the left and the review on the right side. Across the bottom is a rating of Poor Okay Good Great with Poor selected. The review reads: A time travel and paradox plot line which becomes more convoluted as each reveal happens with each switch between the past and the present. Having randomly come across it I had no expectations, which was a good thing. Maybe I was too tired to properly enjoy it but it was all a bit overdone and the final moments seemed inevitable but contrived.

🍺 It’s 4pm so I’m calling the week as over. Time to have a beer and lean into the long weekend.

📺 Finished watching The Ark (Season 2, 2024) ★★½

A rectangular image with a review of the television series The Ark (Season 2). The show poster is on the left and the review on the right side. Across the bottom is a rating of Poor Okay Good Great with Okay selected. The review reads: A light sci-fi show, humanity has doomed the earth and must find a new planet to live on fare. For me, this second season was better than the first. The characters felt more defined, there wasn’t the same type of forced crisis, there was a clearer plot line. The removal of one character to be replaced by another, played by the same actor, was probably the weakest part of the season arc. An easy watch but not something you’d feel like you need to binge.

You don’t really think about how much you move your dominant arm around until you have a sun spot (bcc) cut out right on the ball of the shoulder and the doctor says “try to limit movement for the first 48hrs”.

Get your skin checked regularly people.
