The ‘Three Body Problem’ Problem: Impressively Grand, Yet Disappointingly Small

[I try to write my reviews as spoiler-free as I can, but there still might be comments or ideas that could ruin your experience watching the show. If you’re curious about the show, it’s best to watch it on your own first, before watching/reading ANY review or “explained” analysis.]

It took us a while to chew through the eight episodes of Netflix’s adaptation of The Three Body Problem. I’ve read Liu Cixin’s ‘Remembrance of Earth’s Past’ trilogy. I love ‘The Three Body Problem’. I really like ‘The Dark Forrest’. I was critically deflated by ‘Death’s End’.

I was ready to binge the whole series on launch day, but Marie had not read any of the books. The show proved a touch too dense for Marie, and we opted to spread out our viewing over several days. We finally wrapped it up last night, and I have a lot of thoughts. Mostly good thoughts, but I am a bit disappointed in a few of the structural decisions demonstrated.

Canon 7D in 2021: Shooting on a TEN Year Old Camera!

Taking a trip down memory lane.

The Canon 7D is one of my all time favorite cameras. I bought it to produce a webseries in the early days of online media. While I contemplate switching to another camera system today, I wanted to spend a little time taking this tank back out for a little fun.

Eleven years later, it’s still performing like when it was new… That’s some legit pro gear… Continue reading “Canon 7D in 2021: Shooting on a TEN Year Old Camera!”

A bit of holiday fun, OF COURSE ‘Die Hard’ is a Christmas movie!

Beyond the trappings of Christmas decorations, ‘Die Hard’ delivers on themes that completely satisfy Christmas movie criteria. Better than a couple trees and some lights in the background of a scene, ‘Die Hard’ has some real feels.

Don’t believe me? Of course I brought some evidence!

Also, Holly McClane is a badass.

Movies You May Have Missed 034: ‘La Haine’ (MYMHM Recovered)

Mathieu Kassovitz (The Crimson Rivers) took the film world by storm with La haine (Hate), a gritty, unsettling, and visually explosive look at racial and cultural volatility in modern-day France, specifically the low-income banlieues on Paris’s outskirts. Aimlessly passing their days in the concrete environs of their dead-end suburbia, Vinz, Hubert, and Saïd. White, Black, and Arab, they give human faces to France’s immigrant and marginalized populations. Their resentment simmering until it reaches a boiling point. A work of tough beauty, La Haine is a landmark of contemporary French cinema and a gripping reflection of its country’s ongoing identity crisis.
