A podcaster, having travelled for one, but stuck without his story, find himself listening to an old man’s tales.
Boring as fucking hell. After 23 minutes I saw no release from it and gave up.

A famous work of philosophy, especially because it’s told using a story.
A terrible work of storytelling that entirely shrouds any philosophy it may have. From the first sentence I rolled my eyes and couldn’t make it through the first half-page before setting it down in disgust. I still haven’t been more than a handful of pages in.. it’s just so god damned bad.
This’ll sit on my shelf, among its betters, probably for years before I get around to trying to read more of it. Just as books in ancient Greek need translating, I think this needs a real writer to re-tell the story.

An assassin tries to leave the life, and though she gets tracked down she survives and takes to a life of revenge.
Incredibly drawn out. I’ve seen it some time ago, but even attempting to re-watch this makes me cringe. This gets grouped into the category of “I’d be able to pay attention if the lead character was better looking.” .. and like those other films, that still wouldn’t be enough to make this a good movie.
This is a shit movie that only did well because it was unique at the time.

This is the whole of volume 1 and volume 2 put together.
- I understand there is a DVD release, and it’ll be shown in theatres for some reason. I also found a fan edit.

There will probably be a sequel.

Brief moments from a symposium on the probability of alien life, held at Boston University.
This does more to set up who would be speaking than .. actually present what they’re speaking. Pass.

The Earth is invaded by aliens, and although civilization is cordoned off and human-managed, pockets of resistance remain.
A largely-boring drama. I don’t know why I don’t like this.. there’s something about its tone that grates on me. I did watch ten episodes, but it never “clicked”.

A brainwashed CIA assassin who tried to retire-hide in India with his commonlaw-wife gets pulled into a mystery and stuff when she is killed in an attempt to frame him.
More of the same. Forgettable. It’s not worth continuing this series.

A man is fished from the sea and has no memory. He is on the run, but he can use a gun, and a little martial arts like Bruce Lee.
Long and drawn out, with a plot that doesn’t even remotely begin to make any sense whatsoever until the movie is basically over.
Brings nothing to the table. I think this was successful not because it’s any good but because it was shown during a drought of movies in this genre-ballpark.

I’m not sure how to describe this game. It’s an oldschool oldschool point-and-click game.
I think I would have liked this back in the day, but these days I find a bunch of the mechanics and gameplay too frustrating to deal with.

A utility to completely remove one’s display drivers. Useful for being as thorough as possible, for the various cases where leftovers are making proper troubleshooting or reinstallation difficult.
I couldn’t get it to work.
