WandaVision

by Deep Thinker on 14 March, 2021, no comments

Two super-powered beings living idealized suburban lives suspect that everything is not as it seems. Source: Watch WandaVision | Full episodes | Disney+ Hey – long time no post. (Mainly because my blogging software still does not work with my website host, and every time I fix it, it unfixes itself a few minutes later.) […]

We are Venom

by Deep Thinker on 13 October, 2018, no comments

I needed a break from everything yesterday, so I went and watched Venom. Now, I am pretty neutral about Venom, the comic character – or maybe less than neutral: I think the character is bland, one-note and a product of the 90s best left in that era. I don’t mind the character, but I don’t […]

I just caught up with the movie Tomorrowland on Netflix, after I missed it last year two years ago in the cinema. I had not been too bothered about it, as I skimmed some generally meh reviews. This had surprised me, because the trailer had been interesting, it had George Clooney in it, and it was directed […]

Name

I just learned that Umberto Eco has passed away yesterday. His most famous book was The Name of The Rose, but I have also read Foucault’s Pendulum, Baudelino, and even some of his irreverent prose about Naples and the Italian way of life. I also was fascinated by his study of Semiotics – even today, […]

“I’m gonna have to science the shit out of this.”

by Deep Thinker on 6 November, 2015, no comments

I just came back from watching The Martian (all the screens are now showing the newest James Bond movie, so I am happy I managed to catch this movie still in cinema). What a great movie! Now I need to search the interwebs to fact-check all the science because thinking about how much of all of this is actually possible […]

Back to the present

   Hard to believe I made it all the way to the future the old-fashioned way! Now where did I put my self-tying inflatable Nike sneakers?
