You mess with the bullshitter, you get the hornswoggling

Heading unrelated to blog entry. Just playing with words.

Speaking of play, on Friday night, I reunited with one of my old gaming groups for the first time since before the Pandemic. We played the boardgame "The Princes Of Florence", plus several hands of the original "Fluxx" card game. Buddhists say that if there's a thing you can't give away, you don't own it - it owns you. I'm far less attached to material possessions than I was in my younger years. It was hard giving up said group for four years, though, and I'm extremely glad to be hanging out with them again. Hopefully on the reg.

Shows: "This Is The Zodiac Speaking", "Like A Dragon - Yakuza".

Listening: Anthology "D/W - You Are The Doctor" while walking, "Swamp Ophelia" by Indigo Girls, "Beavis & Butt-Head Do America" soundtrack. The two CDs are now off to the charity shop. Thanks for bringing back the '90s vibes, but I don't care for you anymore.

"Da Vinci" a rewatch.

* "Borderlands" (2024) [Prime]: All feels off; forced, unfunny. Sorry, Cate!

* "Damaged" (2024) [Prime]: Maniac resurfaces elsewhere. Unsubtle, unbelievable, ultimately unsatisfying.

* "Justice League - Crisis On Infinite Earths, Part 2" (2024) [Netflix]: Neither boring nor thrilling. Decent character moments.

* "The Boogeyman" (2023) [Disney+]: There's competent traditional horror under the bed.

* "The Da Vinci Code" (2006) [Foxtel]: Howard, cast earnestly tackle religious-conspiracy escapade. BUT: In hindsight, what was all the fuss?
