A bird just got into the office. Again.
I think I’m getting better at catching them and taking them outside. It only took me 5 minutes this time.
I’ve never used Terminal and wget before, and I admit to being a bit daunted by the prospects of it – especially since there seems to be no official binaries of wget available for macOS. However, I’m glad I ploughed through; saved myself hours in the long run.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier, 2014 – ★★★½
“On your left.”
I Am Mother, 2019 – ★½
The entire storyline required the characters to be very tropey to work. Also, does it make sense to innately trust a stranger over the person who raised you, just because the stranger is of the same race as you?
No, of course not, but the protagonist is of the rebellious years and the stranger possessed a picture of a pretty boy whom the protagonist found attractive. ugh
The movie was supposed to show the protagonist as being a strong independent person. Instead I found her easily manipulated, unable to work her way through a logic problem and if she was the best hope for humanity, then we don’t deserve to live.

Men in Black: International, 2019 – ★★
The dialog was a bit weak, the comedy is just a bit shy of hitting the mark and the story had plot holes the size of dinner plates (but with enough plates to serve a forty guest party for a 10-course meal).
But for a very light, mindless sort of romp, it was okay. I didn’t hate it. And Tessa Thompson looked amazing in an MIB uniform.
I’m curious to know how Cantonese music sound to people who don’t understand the language.
This song, 廢話, has a slightly complex duet, with the two singers singing each alternate word. But is that obvious to people who don’t know the words?
Captain Marvel, 2019 – ★★★
