Eternals, 2021 - ★★★★

A slightly different but fun Marvel spectacle. I thought the performances and the characters were great. Loved the jumping around  places and times and found the storyline more interesting than that of a lot of recent Marvel films.

Feel the film was maligned by numerous reviews. I enjoyed it a lot more than those reviews led me to expect.

Home screen status update!

I use the first two screens of my phone as easily accessible ‘Home’ screens. The first is now starting to get overpopulated with note-making/taking apps 🙂 🤷‍♂️

My second screen is more of a ‘consumption’ screen 🤓

It poured with rain all day yesterday. But it was a good, lazy day. My wife had the rare day off without working so we sat on the sofa all afternoon and watched a couple of films. Bird Box: Bracelona and Triangle of Sadness. Then started the Netflix series One Day in the evening 🎥 📺

In contrast to most opinions and reviews I think I preferred this to the original.
