Chunk amongst the twigs

I'm not great at catching birds, got a few ok shots while in the Green Mountains.

The Long Walk (2025)
Another (unfortunately relevant) story about the use of the desperately poor to entertain or motivate the public. Simple & direct, solidly paced, stand out performance by David Jonsson, & under 2 hrs. Recommended if you like depressing endings. #filmsky #moviesky 🎬 📽️ 🎥

Weighed down

I braved the cold in my own backyard to capture the surprise snowfall last week.

Home with back issues so I'm finally watching Silo season 2.

I loved season 1, great acting, story, and setting. Rebecca Ferguson is phenomenal. High hopes for season 2.

I think Edge of Tomorrow is a fine title is describes the movie better than All You Need Is Kill.

Watching The Witcher season 4 and Geralt is supposed to be annoyed and frustrated about his new found emotions, but Liam Hemsworth cannot seem to properly express, I keep getting more bemused from him.

Maybe his default demeanor is too friendly for the character. #tvsky 📺

Best movie not from this year that you’ve seen this year,

4 older movies I've watched rated 4 1/2⭐️s for me.

Tough choosing, but perhaps Porco Rosso was the most well rounded of the films with high marks in story, visuals, character, pace, & message. #filmsky 📽️🎥🎬
Letterboxd list of movies I've watched this year all rated 4 1/2 ⭐️s Porco Rosso, Lady Snowblood, Nausicaa of the valley of the wind, Thunderbolts, KPop Demon Hunters, First Blood.

Sports has kept my viewing light but I do have a #LastFourWatched 💻 this week. Older James Bond are fun but can make you cringe, Horrible Bosses too much setup but hit it's stride by the end, & First Blood is fantastic. #filmsky #moviesky 🎥📽️🎬
4 moview with ratings. First Blood -4 1/2 ⭐️ Licence to Kill - 3 1/2 ⭐️ Horrible Bosses - 3 ⭐️ Live and Let Die - 2 1/2 ⭐️

Relaxation.

What I miss most about vacation: lazy mornings, crisp mountain air, sitting on the porch with a view with a hot coffee & a blanket.

Now watching First Blood (1982)

Sometimes it's been so long since you've seen a movie it might as well be the first time.

We were pleasantly surprised by the number of white Birch in the Green Mountains, we don't get them much around here.
