@RavenCutrereULC What happened to Pizza Hut? It used to be so good, but now it’s rubbish.
I tried to start watching Batman: Caped Crusader, and I maybe I should give it a go sometime again, because the story might well be good, but the clunky animation annoyed me so much I just stopped. What happened to fluid animation style? They did it back in the ‘50s. Why is it so bad these days? If it’s a stylistic choice, it’s crap.
So nice to be back in the #Finnish #Archipelago.
The summer is over, yet the temperatures are unseasonably warm. It’s quiet. Relaxing. Sauna, a dip in the Baltic Sea. An adult beverage or a few. *ahem*
Have a good weekend, CoSoNauts!
@MPCavalier An interesting anecdote. I didn't know that.
@MPCavalier It is, isn't it? 👍
Watching "2010: The Year We Make Contact" again. One of my favourites. A well worthy successor to "2001: A Space Odyssey"
An incredibly underrated sci-fi movie by Peter Hyams, the director of another great sci-fi movie "Outland".
If you haven't watched either of them, I highly recommend that you do.
Hey all CoSoNauts!
The summer vacation is finally here and me and the missus will be in the #Finnish #Archipelago for the next three weeks, if nothing unexpected happens.
It's been fairly windy today, but sunny.
Have a good one, wherever you are!
@ellesu Why, thank you!
Summer vacation begins as of today! Three weeks at first, and a week to be saved for later.
Very much needed, even though I can never be entirely disconnected from work. There will be some things I have to take care of now and then.
Still, it’ll hopefully be a relaxing time in the #Finnish #Archipelago
@CauseEffects Cats own the Internet, of course, so that's always a given. 😉
But the manga/anime art in such volumes is a bit odd.
@Livology I'm not the only one, though. I've seen others commenting on the same thing. I don't follow any manga artists, either. Those posts are all from the Discover feed.
It must be the algorithms. But I'll be damned if I knew why they thingkI'd be interested in that sort of thing.
Nothing against manga/anime per se, but it's just not my thing at all.
I just finished watching 3 Body Problem on Netflix. I have the book but haven't gotten around to reading it yet, so I can't compare the adaptation with the book. I assume they've taken the usual liberties, and then some.
I wasn't impressed with the Netflix adaptation. It didn't feel much like sci-fi, even. It was a drama with some sf elements.
The dialogue and characterisation of the main characters was largely cringey. About the only interesting character was Benedict Wong's.Clarence Shi.
Very much looking foward to a ten day vacation at the ”summer” house, starting tomorrow.
The solitude, quietness. Sauna every day. Good food & the odd adult beverage at one’s pleasure. Felling a couple of trees for firewood and other outdoors chores.
And putting aside all work related thoughts.
