Eternals, 2021 - โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

A slightly different but fun Marvel spectacle. I thought the performances and the characters were great. Loved the jumping around ย 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 โ€˜Homeโ€™ screens. The first is now starting to get overpopulated with note-making/taking apps ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Screenshot of an iPhone screen displaying a variety of apps, a widget with a literary quote from Marcel Proust, and a black and white background image of a public square with a person walking and birds on the ground.

My second screen is more of a โ€˜consumptionโ€™ screen ๐Ÿค“

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 ๐ŸŽฅ ๐Ÿ“บ
