Watched Jurassic World Dominion (2022) by an author from letterboxd.com
Four years after Isla Nublar was destroyed, dinosaurs now live—and hunt—alongside humans all over the world. This fragile balance will reshape the future and determine, once and for all, whether human beings are to remain the apex predators on a planet they now share with history’s most fearsome creatures.

Exceeded my rock bottom expectations by some margin. While JP might be a stone classic, many films in this series are objectively bad. Look at JP2. I admire the effort to take this beyond “the dinosaurs got out (again)”.

And the ensemble was pretty well served, didn’t feel like anyone was there for the sake of it. Except maybe Alan, but that was even played up.

★★★

Breed by Nirvana

Just spent an hour fixing some code I wrote when I was in the same timezone as the server. School boy error really but I guess limited to those who usually live/work in GMT!

Also, and I guess this is a common problem in older code, I discovered that the way the dates were being stored is out-dated, so I had to update them all to DateTime. And that’s what really took the time!

Kind of glad I didn’t see Barbie at the cinema because the Snyder Cut gag drew easily the biggest LOL from me and I’m guessing that probably didn’t land that widely…

You know, Ryan Gosling is just two years younger than me, and I look at his physique in Barbie and I know that must have been a LOT of work and I feel a degree of sympathy for him (NB some ‘roids are basically legal in the States and we can’t rule that out as a possibility – no offence, Ryan)

Watched Barbie (2023) by an author from letterboxd.com
Barbie and Ken are having the time of their lives in the colorful and seemingly perfect world of Barbie Land. However, when they get a chance to go to the real world, they soon discover the joys and perils of living among humans.

I’m not sure the circumstances of my viewing did it justice but it really didn’t meet my (probably vastly over-inflated) expectations 🤷‍♀️

★★★½
