Project Hail Mary (March 20): Final trailer
Very good trailer for what promises to be a great sci-fi movie, but beware, it reveals a lot about the story and, above all, shows a lot of Rocky. ☝️

This week, I needed some fun stuff! With Naked Gun, the Hot Shots films are my favorites in the comedy genre. Pitch Perfect was a first watch & didn't disappoint, nice music & fun to watch. Don't look Up has frightening similarities with real events + fun ending! #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched 📲

Hackers has its problems, but it's still a great film with incomparable 90s charm! I had some issues with Blade Runner 2049 at the cinema, but now I really like it! Zootopia 2 is incredibly good and made with so much heart. Watch the Skies is worth a watch!

Please make sure the kids are in bed as this might be a bit provocative. We modified a 3D printer into an insertion testing rig and ran a Ninten-Drawer through 10,000 cycles without issue (thats a game a day for 27 years). You'll want to have the sound on for this.
