Watched: Murder on the Orient Express 🍿
My third time watching this. It’s great every time. Branagh’s Poirot is so melancholy.

Watched: A Haunting in Venice 🍿
I love Poirot, I love Branagh, and I love spooky stuff, so this was a win for me.
🔖🍿 Read The 2.5-hour AI-generated Odyssey movie is 2.5 hours too long by Andrew Webster (The Verge).
Fascinating look at someone using AI to make absolute nonsense. Surprising, no. Interesting, yes.
The most recent MCU movie I’ve seen is Black Panther. Every time I think about trying a new one, I remember that it feels like I have to understand the other 30+ for the new one to make sense. I wonder if I could just treat them like comics and only pay attention to Spider-Man and X-Men. 🍿
Now that I’ve finished listening to Stephen Fry’s audiobook of Sherlock Holmes: The Definitive Collection, I’m dreaming of an adaptation of His Last Bow starring Brent Spiner and LeVar Burton. 📚🍿🖖🏻
🍿 Reflections on Jurassic Park:
- Ian Malcolm is gross and he has all the best lines.
- That shot of the T-rex with the banner falling is so iconic. (Forgive me the spoiler.)
- If you’ve been to Universal’s Jurassic Park area, this whole thing feels much more real because they did such a great job.
📝 Tiny Week(s)notes (idea by @brie@social.lol):

🎧 Fated Mates always.
📺 Hacks 😍.
🎮 The Room series.
🌱 Picked out plants for the deck that spouse planted.
🍿 The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Jurassic Park (still iconic).
🍿Just watched Jurassic Park with my kid. He enjoyed it. It holds up, just as it did the last time I watched it about 10 years ago. The animatronics are still impressive, the CGI less so.
🍿 Watched A Merry Little Ex-Mas. Excellent cast and Alicia Silverstone made me cry.
