I can't really recommend this to anyone but dedicated cinephiles.

It kind of reminded me of The Phantom Menace. FWIW.

Is it another one where somebody has confused "trailer" with "highlights"?

My friend is obsessed with this film. Not in the sense that they *like* it as such, more that it's just a weird intriguing *thing* and they're trying to make sense of it.
I'm looking forward to watching it on the jimlads.

Something about civilizational delusions and decline, with reference to the present, and an imagined AI utopia, only utterly incoherent. Badly needed an edit or some glue.

Been out for a while. Have you had a chance to view yet? I've not seen it on account of living through a "kitchen nightmare" but I shall asap.

Not yet. Planning to watch it and then talk about it in a video with a couple of friends which should be fun. But we keep getting distracted.
What's your kitchen been up to?

Ooh, not to sound too stalkerish, but I did enjoy you chatting about film and stuff, so I shall look forward to that.
My kitchen issues are too bourgeois for words. Basically, we had an extension done ten years ago at which point we pulled out the old kitchen which was falling to pieces (literally) and I knocked together a temporary replacement using the existing carcases with some new doors and stuff we managed to get cheap. It was OK enough to last much longer than expected, but Mrs WilliamA recently said, 'We ought to treat ourselves to a nice new kitchen before Christmas.' So off we went to Wren where we invested an unfeasibly vast amount of money, and probably our future security as old retired people, into a new kitchen. The man at Wren said, 'Our installers are a bit expensive.' We agreed when he said £4000 to install it. I've been tasked with that. What I didn't appreciate until we'd signed on the line and a bit after that was quite how much DIY was involved, or the ridiculous level of accuracy (level to within 1mm per metre) the worktop installers require (I'm not doing the worktop). They come tomorrow to make a laser template. I have one day to finish and a LOT still to do. It's literally down to the wire with our pension pot at risk. My stress levels are high.

Today we're expecting Ashley, a templater from Xena Quarz at 3:00 pm. He will fire his laser cannons all over the kitchen (nj) and hopefully smile a lot and leave. There's dozens of things still to do, but once he's done his template we can't alter the structure in any way until the worktop is fitted. I'm looking forward to the not doing things bit. Then there's another load of activity to fit all the finishing parts.
It's been interesting in a way that I'm not especially glad to have experienced. I've done tons of plumbing, wiring, basic carpentry etc over the years, simply because we didn't have any money to get somebody else to do it. But there were things that cropped up in the last 8 days where I had my head in my hands (literally) because I simply hadn't got the first idea how to do it, but I had to find out and then do it straight away, and it had to work.
This is how it looks right now. It'll be a bit tidier for Ashley.
