Nosferatu

I have been waiting for this trailer for awhile. I'm somewhat literate when it comes to high brow movies and I tend to believe that most Robert Eggers movies are. I might only grasp the subtext after a screening and supplemental YouTube analysis/critic review but I do believe watching more challenging movies helps us appreciate the medium as an art and even a commentary on life.

It's interesting that both Willem Defoe and Nicholas Hault are in this title considering their previous history with vampire movies (Shadow of the Vampire and Renfield respectively). Of course we all know Bill Skarsgård knows how to play a mysterious, creepy, villain.

The 2025 BMW X3

This thing looks like a car from a PS2 game and I don't mean that as a compliment in any way, shape, or form.

Sony + Netflix

It really works out that Sony does not have its own streaming service. We're all getting fatigue from all the different streaming services raising prices but if you have access to Netflix (who doesn't???), then you just get Sony movies. 

This is a very good thing if you're not willing to spend your hard earned money at a movie theater to see a movie that professional movie watches concluded was not good.

New Adventure Time

Adventure Time is a special show to me. It marks the start of my oldest son building his own taste in media. The show is older than him but he clung to it. He knows it better than me and it seems like he's getting more out of it with each re-watch.

Only God Was Above Us

This is a solid album if you're particularly moved by melodies. Vampire Weekend takes advantage of a large palette of instruments to paint some really great tracks. There's lovely piano work on some tracks and synth on others. It just feels like it was recorded 20 years ago. I think (??) this was kind of the vibe they were going for based on the album art and music videos.

I'm glad the band has not gotten swept up in the current standard of making shorter tracks to generate more listens. There are a handful of tracks well over 4 minutes in this track list.
