[EmuELEC's clone of] R36S arrived today and so I'll be posting about it in the coming days. As well as about old games.

Let's give the Bomfunk MC's debut a shot. I suspect I might have heard it 25 years ago, but I don't remember.

Turns out that House of Leaves was "[t]he colloquial name for the headquarters of the Albanian secret police," and now is the Museum of Secret Surveillance. Which means that I can actually visit House of Leaves. If I ever visit Albania.

I got inspired to re-listen to Scatman John's first album, "Scatman's World." Something I haven't done in decades. It's probably one of literally 3 or 4 cassettes I had in my life. The album got old pretty visibly, but the mix of scat singing and dance music didn't catch up with others, so it brings back a specific moment in time. I'm twelve again.

The Residents' debut is surprisingly good. I was expecting incomprehensible noise and it's nothing like that. Solid stuff.
One thing that I find charming about The Residents is that due to their process is not easy, if possible at all, to figure out which year each album was released on because they don't follow any fads.

I read about The Residents for the first time in April's issue of "XL," a forgotten now Polish music magazine, and judging by what I read, I simply assumed it was an April Fool's joke. Mind you, this was still back in 1990s. Now imagine how surprised I was when I stumbled upon an hour-long episode about the group on Viva Zwei. Full of videoclips and all.

I had a taste for Desperados and we coupled it with "The Gray Man" from 2022 because it felt like the right choice for a beer movie. It's a spy action flick, something between James Bond and Mission: Impossible, full of incredible scenes (like a tram chase in Prague). Ryan Gosling plays his usual character and it was fun, but it only showed me that those movies are not for me anymore. We might still see a franchise here. The hooks are there (like the invisible boss).

Another thing I see is grouping all the pinned posts into a paginated slider. A very good choice given some users pinning a number of posts.

Season 2 of "Veep" is the same but more. There are 3 new characters this time around. Everyone talks fast and throws offences so often and so layered that it's nothing short of amazing. And at the same time, no one seems to be offended. I guess the show is a good illustration of how much it sucks at the world of politics. With every episode, I am getting more and more certain that I would never want to be a politician.

Now that's interesting. When I click a tag now, it gives me three options: just browse the tag (the old behaviour), browse the tags by the user who used that, or mute it.

Following the book/interview with Werner Herzog, I decided to see his 1987's "Cobra Verde," the last movie that he did with Klaus Kinski. A story of a Brazilian rancher who ends up as a slave trader in Africa. The most interesting thing was presentation not following the usual Hollywood style: all the buildings in Brazil and then later in Africa, plus original clothes, are a breath of fresh air in the way they look on screen.

Guests are gone, so I'm back to watching movies. "Dream Lover" from 1993 with James Spader and Mädchen Amick is a late 80s/early 90s thriller. It has huge time jumps, but other than that, it's pretty standard stuff. With 30+ years on a counter, it was a bit unpredictable, although at times because James Spader's character behaved like a blinded idiot. Only for connoisseurs of that era movies (a bit of outdated cringe too). Christopher Young provided an interesting soundtrack.

The new episode of Music For Programming dropped.

Season 2 of "The Tourist" takes us from the sunny Australia to Ireland. After being encouraged by Helen, Elliot decides to delve on his past, but only first minutes on screen, he gets kidnapped by masked assailants, and things go spinning. The show keeps the quality and the number of twists is just crazy. The comedic aspect cannot be overstated. The winner, however, is reformed Ethan, who was pissing me off in season 1, but now he's funny. And we have a hook for season 3.

"Vice Principals" season 2 concludes the story. After a dramatic cliffhanger at the end of season 1, Neal Gamby is back, trying to readjust to the new reality. The show is still funny, which is important in a comedy show, and Lee Russel got a backstory that might allow us to feel somewhat sorry for him. He's still an ultimate asshole, but well, it's more nuanced now.

This year's "The Accountant 2" is a follow-up to a story of autistic [Artistic Licence] accountant who's also a killing machine. This didn't change, and he even has a group of hackers helping him this time, which is all a bit super-heroey (it's like making up for the lost Batman on Affleck's end). That being said, the movie is not dumb and there is some connecting dots required. Also, Jon Bernthal and Ben Affleck make a great duo on screen. It was fun.

"Tequila Sunrise" (1988) has always been on my radar, but I never bothered to even check it. I thought it's either 1920s' or 1950s' crime story. It's the 80s, and very hard in stylistics, like saxophone themes during love scenes. Might be an overlooked gem in these regards. Plot-wise, it feels like first attempt at "The Usual Suspects," including twist after twist and finale on the boat. The first half felt more like love drama between 3 main characters, though. Still cool.

"Sikandar" (2025) is an Indian movie, which is categorised as action drama, but due to my cultural differences with Indians, it was more comedic. But not in a bad way. I could appreciate the fights, which were improbable, like Jason Bourne of Mission Impossible taken up to eleven and feeling more like dance sequences. The narratives go their own way and often, I wouldn't understand what happened and why (but I could still follow the main plot).
