Confessions of a Brain Surgeon ( BBC iPlayer) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Top brain surgeon Henry Marsh reveals the huge risks and emotional impact of a job filled with difficult life-and-death decisions. Sensitively filmed with accounts of his early and everyday personal life.
I will try to find it on Swedish television.

Some AI-assisted videos by Fredrik Jonsson.

(maybe it's more accurate to say LVM- or LGM-assisted than AI-assisted)

I was a bit disappointed with this movie, I expect the book to be better.
I think it is better. You should like it. It's in a vein similar to Ian Fleming. I've read most of Fleming's novels and a lot of Alistair MacLean. I think you'll enjoy it.

Not my usual fare, but "Final Destinations: Bloodlines" has been calling to me.

I forgot to say, I recommend you to watch this movie.


(I removed a post above because it turned out to be an advert.)

And I would add that there is a very nice moment and envoie toward the end which I found rather respectable.


Just finished watching Death by Lightning on Netflix.

Best thing we've watched in a while. Highly recommended.

on iQIYI I have started in to "Strange Tales of the Tang Dynasty" and "Goddess Bless You From Death"

but I'm thinking of subbing to Peacock just to watch "Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain" -- looks like the kind of stupid silly fun I could use these days

and as for Netflix, over here in the USA the ad-free version costs about $20.50 USD, which is much more than I used to pay; however, they do seem to snag some of the shows from Taiwan I'd like to watch (Tseng Jing-Hua or someone posing as him chatted with me for a few days in the spring of 2023)

after mystery fees and taxes, the Criterion Channel would cost about $12.50/month USD. but it would have so many classics from all over the world, including many from Hong Kong.

It's interesting to have started watching some movies a few years ago that are no longer available for streaming, e.g., "Helios" and "Sky on Fire".

At first I thought it might be about Nicholas Culpeper the medicinal herbalist, but it turns out that it was not he himself who was struck dead by lightning (as I previously and erroneously had read), but his love Judith, whose carriage got struck on the way to an assignation at Lewes.

Took me a while -- not just because of Netflix's raising of fees, but more having to do with the trauma of the first two seasons -- but now I have watched the first episode of "Alice in Borderland" season three.

Wow! How the tension builds even before the first game.

I do also have some lighter or at least less intense items in my watch-queue.


Simon Cowell - The Last Act, Netflix.
Has expected this to be something like The Kardashians but surprisingly found it really interesting.
