A work in progress...
I've watched 4 Christmas streaming movies this year, but are any worth watching? The Holdovers is disqualified for being an actual movie, so the winner is Jingle Bell Heist. It has twists, Peter Serafinowicz and an eclectic soundtrack. Heist! HEIST! HEIST!

I can't wait until a few mergers later, when one huge company owns everything and it costs 10,000 times what it should...

![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

Due to getting older and gaining a tiny human, I haven't been able to read much. Luckily, the library does audiobooks. Unluckily, they use 3 separate apps and 1 of them is a dumpster fire.

Law got me two short horror books: Strange Pictures and Strange Houses. They're an interesting concept, looking at pictures and floor plans for something...off. It's just a shame the writing (not helped by translation from Japanese) doesn't match and often makes huge logical leaps...

Crime Scene Zero is a Korean reality show on Netflix. The backstories are a bit much (everyone committed criminal offences including a few bonus murders), but the sets and the role-players are top notch.

The Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 remake is playing mind games with me. The soundtrack includes a lot of songs by bands from the original...buuuut they're different songs. E.g. Iron Maiden's Number Of The Beast is now Two Minutes To Midnight.
