A few additions to my wiki today on the more technical side of things. A new CaptainLog as well.
Liquid Sky, 1982 - ★★★★

I'd like to say this movie is before its time, but it's not. The issues it raises were present in the 80s as well as in the 1800s. We just take more notice now.
Liquid Sky is not easy to watch. It's an explosive, colorful, emotional,l drug-influenced, NYC-punk, alien, in-your-face, weird sort of a thing, and it gives zero fucks about it. Which is exactly how it should be.
I'd stop here and say good job, but the movie went further and made me question my values, past and present. It grabbed me by the throat and forced me to look. I'm glad I did.

A bit of RSS magic here, a bit MB customization there, and poof! A new movie 🎥 review page on the blog. It even comes with its own RSS feed: taonaw.com/categorie…
Adult content: I watch and review some erotic movies. Please keep this in mind
Leviathan, 1989 - ★★

Your typical 90s suspense flick with all the clichés. I enjoyed the story, and the effects are nice. It makes you appreciate the stunts department before we had AI integrated into everything.
We have come a long way since the days of women being sexy meat sacks that always need rescuing. It's good to watch one of these movies to remind you why this was a problem. It made me cringe more than once.
Think Aliens underwater without Susan Weaver to kick ass.

The Beast, 1975 - ★★★½

Ok, let's get this out of the way first. Yes, there's horse dick in this movie. Lots and lots of it. So if you have a problem with horse dick, this is not the movie for you.
As a movie, it's OK. It gets a 7 out of 10. The story is not revolutionary, and the effects didn't exactly age well. Still, I found that it was well performed. It tells the familiar story (all men are sexual beasts) but it turns it around, with women beating men in their own game.
This is an erotic movie from the 70s which you won't find on any streaming services today. The question to ask yourself is not if you're OK with the sort of taboo the movie shows, but why you no longer have the option to wonder about this.

I recorded another S3 video Monday, and I didn’t get around to post it until yesterday. The first one since I got back from Italy.
In this vid:
- Recapping some of the Florence experience
- Photography: what rekindled my desire to take photos and Glass
- GrapheneOS, a hardened Android OS on my phone
- Micro.Camp, books tips, more about photos, and movies (boy I’ll have a lot to talk about next time!)
- A few notes about the wiki
Now that Diode Zone (my PeerTube instance) doesn’t seem to have a storage limit, I aim to upload the videos there first, and put them on YouTube a week later.
