Watched: Rental Family 🍿

Picture this: Japan, you’re a struggling actor and people pay you to tell their wives that you’re very sorry for sleeping with their husband. Okay, but also you’re Brendan Fraser and you pretend to be the father of a little girl so she can get into a good school.

Watched: Sisu: Road to Revenge 🍿

At some point we look at ourselves and ask if the amount of cartoonish ultra violent movies is problematic. Until then an angry Finnish man will suffer and murder the people who stand in his way.

Bristol Farms The Cookie 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪 /5

Bristol Farms, a southern california upscale grocer, sells a $4 cookie. A chocolate chunk and walnut masterpiece. I don’t have the budget to shop there regularly but as an infrequent treat it is absolutely fantastic.

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.

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.

Watched: Good Fortune 🍿

I’m sure this had a great pitch because the concept makes for a good hook. A low level angel meddles in the affairs of a struggling man who swaps lives with a rich VC bro. Problem is that there is no satisfaction in the resolution. I want some tacos though
