Watched: Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery 🍿
Oh this was an excellent murder mystery. An angry Monseigneur, an impossible crime, and the rational humanist detective who tries to figure out how it was done and who did it. Glenn Close, Josh O’Connor, Josh Brolin notable performances.
😈😈😈😈😈/5
Watched: Bugonia 🍿
Bugonia is a Yorgos Lanthimos film. There are some people that this appeals to and I imagine some people that this is a warning. Yes, it’s a big weird and creative. But that can feel refreshing in a world where studios make sequels to milk a franchise.

Costco Rotisserie Chef Salad
The Costco food court is more than $1.50 hot dogs, and as I have been visiting Costco with some frequency I am trying different items. This salad comes with ingredients separated in compartments, allowing one to skip cheese, bacon &c. A good lunch

Watched: Wicked: For Good 🍿
Went to an early screening of Wicked for Good as a member of the AMC A-List. Being familiar with the show I knew what was coming but still wanted to avoid spoilers. Enjoyed the performances, may have wanted bigger moments, but truly a cinema moment.

Trader Joe’s Chicken & Cheddar Cheese Sandwich on Cranberry Seeded Wheat Bread
new from Trader Joe’s, bought it out of curiosity and ate it for lunch. Thought I wouldn’t like it but enjoyed it. Cheddary aftertaste but I’ll manage.

Watched: Now You See Me: Now You Don’t 🍿
I don’t remember if NYSM2 properly explained Hanley’s absence but spoilers, in this movie she is back. Better use of female characters, especially Rosamund Pike. Disappointed by plot, but enjoyable if you don’t think about it.

Watched: Now You See Me 2 🍿
This is one of those films where you think “ah, well at least Michael Caine got paid.” What with his reputation for choosing to be a working actor rather than being particular about what jobs he takes. Plot is rubbish. 🥸🥸★★★
Watched: Now You See Me 🍿
In preparation for the third Now You See Me film I started revisiting the original film which I recall I had mixed feelings about. And I appreciate that this feels like an original idea even though it’s just a transformation of a better story idea.

guess what? MCRIB IS BACK
In what seems like an annual event I have ordered my first McDonalds McRib of the year. It always seems like a better idea until I actually eat it. Then I’m ready to wait for another year in case it improves.
🐷🐷🐷★★
I might be the only voice clamoring for this, but I would like to pretend like it’s irrationally upsetting that Apple has not released the Classical Apple Music App for macOS.
