Ready to be deployed at an ice planet nearbyBuilt our first Lego set this weekend. An Imperial AT-AT. Complete with Luke's snowspeeder and the tow cable around the AT-AT's legs. I have friends who are obsessed with Lego, and I have bought sets as presents in the past, but this is the first set I bought for myself....
Karel Bittner on Pexels A note on my favourite film genreAs I was walking out of the cinema after watching Akinola Davies Jr.'s wonderful feature debut My Father's Shadow yesterday, I started thinking about how my favourite films from the past few years have been about memory. Not just the exercise of remembering,...
An incomplete reviewIn this “review” that nobody asked for, I shall make a lousy yet sincere attempt to articulate my thoughts about the much awaited biopic of an artist I revere. If I succeed at nothing else I shall do my best to make it all about me. There are spoilers here, you have been cautioned. I don’t watch...
A short reviewNot that I was hoping to, but it is impossible to review this film objectively. My fondness for Dylan borders on veneration. I had the good fortune of seeing him in the flesh recently, his voice frail, gait faltering, yet somehow in my mind he still transcends the mortal plain and all its restraints....

4K UHD Blu-ray impressionsRogue One is my 2nd favourite Star Wars movie after Empire. I loved it so much when it came out, I saw it three times in the theatre. I bought the 4K Blu-ray disc a few weeks ago and was pleased to find that the 4K transfer is every bit as good as I had hoped. The movie was shot digitally...
4K UHD Blu-ray impressionsI managed to watch my favourite Star Wars movie last week in the highest available quality. It’s of course as good as it has always been. I still think this is one of the best sequels ever made. As far as the video quality is concerned, the 4K transfer is quite good, albeit with a...
Photo by Brett Jordan from Pexels A few observations on Apple’s big announcement todayA few minutes ago, Apple confirmed the rumours about its Apple Music Hifi offering. According to this press release, the new lossless audio feature, along with support for Dolby Atmos-backed “Spatial Audio,” will be available for...
My top streamed songs from the past month — in playlist formatContinuing my monthly tradition, I’ve made a playlist of my most streamed tracks on Deezer (and duplicated them on Apple Music and Spotify). Enjoy! Deezer Hifi (recommended) Apple Music Spotify
Fairport Convention, The Libertines, and Grace Slick & The Great SocietyDeezer’s Flow feature has been great for music discovery. For passive listening (while I’m working on something, doing household chores, etc.) I have Flow running in the background. If I hear something I like, I add the track to a “triage”...
