Added some of my old posts from the old blog and realized that the time on those is all around midnight. I use the schedule post option in MB, and while I scheduled a day for the past, I didn’t schedule a time.
Another thing I learned: footnotes, which I used to use on my old blog, still work here in MB. Emacs converts those to lines of HTML when I export to markdown and it works fine. I need to adjust the CSS around those a bit, but otherwise it works fine.
At my usual corner, taking a sip, having a thought.
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.
