Zjef Vanuytsel -- "De Zotte Morgen"

Kwam tevoorschijn via bloody spotify nadat ik Wim Sonneveld e.d. had geluisterd.

Is goed. Moet ik vaker luisteren.

Soft Cell - "Happiness Not Included"

New Soft Cell album! So far, sounds like their original stuff. So, that's nice.

Pachinko

Cool series about a Korean family, from the 1910 Japanese occupation to the "now" in 1989.

Different colours for Japanese and Korean subtitling, which is cool.

Anatomy of a Scandal

interesting enough, particularly with the current Tory fuckups, of a scandal in west minster.

Röyksopp - "Profound Mysteries"

New album. Quite nice.

Really like "If You Want Me" with Susanne Sundfør. 

Also, "Impossible" was with Alison Goldfrapp.

Cynan Jones - "Stilicide"

Strange, near-poem like story. Chapters of different people, slowly interweaving, of a world without enough clean water. The Water Train, the iceberg being towed to London. Amazing how the chapters wrap into each other.

Originally broadcast by the bbc, one chapter at a time?

Reminds me of Paul Auster's "In the country of last things", Denis Johnson's "Train Dreams" and Daisy Jones' "February" (?? I can't find this!), as in short, strange books that leave you bewildered and confused.

Focus, John.

The hospital behind him.

The scene below an object now. A coin through a jeweller's loupe.

Watch the bridge, he coached himself. Focus on the bridge.

The protest now was filtering. The crowd seeming to pour.

Something microscopic in the fact the smallest tap could send a hundred-and-seventy-grain bullet three-quarters of a mile.

Move your finger just a millimetre and you could end a life; but you cannot save one. Her. Not with the strength of your whole body.

Branner felt himself sliding again, away from the wider world. Into the big hole in his ground, the time ahead without her.

Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind

Watched straight after finishing Severance. Still beautiful, still sad, still amazing.

Palm Springs

(seem to have missed logging this)

great time-loop movie, quite enjoyable. Don't bother with the set-up because they assume the audience is familiar with the premise, which is good.

Severance

Wonderful series about a company Lumon that "severs" work and private lives of people in their mind. When you go in, you don't remember your personal life, when you leave, you don't remember work.

Amazing absurdism. Great by role by Christopher Walken.

Story kept entertaining. Quite interesting to see the "innies vs outies", how people basically fight themselves (their outies want them to stay inside).  Good visuals of long maze-like corridors, bright and white, no mirrors, strange dialogues. Computer terminals without the escape key.

Quite a bit of Philip K Dick / Black Mirror feel to it.

Ten Percent

ok series – based on the French "Call my agent" series" – about a London based actor agency and all their troubles. Interesting how a fair amount of actors and actresses play themselves. Bit too silly / contrived at times.
