finished watching Novocaine 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
Are #CIPA movies a thing? I learned it existed thanks to an episode of House (I owe that show most of my medical "knowledge") Years later I watched that little movie where the protagonist is an assassin insensitive to pain, The Midnight Man (2016) https://neodb.social/movie/0VkEK52ooUYWCGksk08HyL Now there's Novocaine too, that I know of. CIPA keeps coming up on my screen without me having ever looked for it.
I'm wondering if these shows help by raising awareness of a rare disorder, I did read a couple of articles after I watched House, so it kind of worked for me, I'm aware. Maybe some public interest could even get studies funded... or maybe this kind of thing (not talking about Novocaine in particular) is just a bit exploitative and doesn't help any patients at all.
Opinions welcome.

finished watching Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕
The stunts, capturing real humans and objects on camera... that materiality makes all the difference. If every action movie was made like this, you couldn't get me out of the cinema.
Everything else about it? I don't know, I don't care that much. I do care about those brief moments when I feel like a kid watching movies, that's rare and this one manages to pull it off several times. So thank you, you weird scientologist, I don't know why you risk your life for this, but thank you.

finished watching Star Wars: Andor (Andor Season 2)
finished watching Death of a Unicorn
I don't get it: mid budget horror comedy, not a sequel, competent cast, ludicrous monsters, capitalism bad / nature good, props and sound effects referencing classic genre movies... I should love this, but, for some reason that escapes me, I can't care less.
finished listening DUST 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕
(I've only listened to the third season, Chrysalis. Standalone story, unlike the two previous anthology seasons)
Science fiction story with actual science fiction ideas and an addictive rhythm. Expect musings about AI (not the bullshit we're enduring these days) and human nature, genocide, a tad of space battle tactics... all of it brought to life mainly by the protagonist's performance. That voice alone could carry the whole show, making us feel all the changes he, or it, goes through.
I didn't like that aliens behave just like humans, but, if there is harder sci-fi on podcast form, I haven't found it.

finished watching Superman
That was surprisingly fun! And no wonder the right are mad about it: for starters, a broligarch and Netanyahu are the villains XD
finished watching 28 Years Later
If Garland wants to make public sculpture and blue-chip films, that's great, but maybe he shouldn't pick Anthony Gormley as a referent, this just feels silly.
