Happiness and Misadventures

Exceeds expectations.

Another very bittersweet movie that I wouldn’t rewatch.

A cute story set in a cute village… but that’s it.

This one felt… weird, at least.

Very sweet and sad, with really crazy visuals.

Totally unexpected, perfect characters and humor.

Bittersweet story with a very interesting graphic, and two unnecessary but fun cameos.

The most surprising movie I’ve watched this year.

To be honest, the slow pace of the first part made me abandon this (audio)book for a few weeks… but man, it is quite wild!

I finally started this game, it seems amazing.

I randomly picked up this book from the to read pile, but I’m probably not in the mood.

This series was totally unexpected.

This is the… third?

Cute tale, funny enough and with unexpected redemptions.

I think that a film was the wrong format for this (wonderful) idea.

Listening to the audiobook, my third book by Lem.

Another fantastic comedy, with an amazing opening title sequence and song as a bonus.

I listened to the audiobook… and, once finished, I immediately ordered a physical copy.

I don’t know how we got into Czech movies, but this is a little gem!

I had already read this book about ten years ago, but I didn’t remember anything except the beginning and the end.

Why the heck didn’t I hear about this movie before?

I’m listening to the Italian audiobook.

Three episodes in, and the rhythm is already oscillating.

I wanted to read something about aliens and possibly a bit trashy… Maybe I found it?

Mysteries from ancient Greece?

That was just OK.

I watched the Coen’s movie several times, and I love it.

Just a quick note to post the correct #ListenBrainz stats from last month.

I liked the references, the message and the humor… but dang, the body horror is not for me.

Sometimes you just start doing something with good intentions, thinking it will take you a few minutes… and finish a couple of days later, rethinking how many things went wrong and how much time of your life you spent doing a really unnecessary thing.

883 are an essential part of my childhood: their third album was the first CD I bought.

This month the #ListenBrainz stats are not up to date yet.

I wasn’t aware of Crichton’s posthumous books!

Yesterday morning I went out to take out the trash and, in the paper, I found a dozen old books or more.

A classic I discovered in my late 30s.

Last time, I was writing about the freedom to create something I am discovering lately.

I would have never told that this thriller/crime novel was by the same author of Solaris.

We watched this movie blindly, after just looking at the poster, and we… didn’t expect that.

I don’t remember who recommended Octavia Butler to me as a sci‑fi author, but after years I finally started a novel by her.

I listened to the English audiobook.

One of the aspects I prefer about living in the new home is the freedom of creating anything: stone walls, woodsheds, green areas, vegetable gardens… You name it.

Finally a very good movie adaptation of a book!

I had never seen this… classic, I guess?

This is the third comic book I have read by Dr.

I love Park Chan-wook because his movies have everything: humor, tension, action, and good metaphors.

Imagine there’s no countries It isn’t hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace Bullshit.

I would never have thought my girlfriend would appreciate a movie by Guy Ritchie, but she did!

I just read James’s post on using greyscale on mobile and definitely want to try.

When I was eight, our teacher hung a yellowish piece of paper on the blackboard and said, “Copy this.”

I appreciated the surreal atmosphere and the sense of humor.
