Poor Things (2023)
Who cares?
Nothing actually happens.
Not sure it was worth Emma Stone immortalising her bush for this.
And now I have to write 600 words about it? I may have to change the subject.
A cloud weighs around a million tonnes. A cloud typically has a volume of around 1km3 and a density of around 1.003kg per m3 - that's a density that's around 0.4 per cent lower than the air surrounding it (this is how they are able to float).
Giraffes are 30 times more likely to get hit by lightning than people. True, there are only five well-documented fatal lightning strikes on giraffes between 1996 and 2010. But due to the population of the species being just 140,000 during this time, it makes for about 0.003 lightning deaths per thousand giraffes each year. This is 30 times the equivalent fatality rate for humans.
Identical twins don't have the same fingerprints. You can't blame your crimes on your twin, after all. This is because environmental factors during development in the womb (umbilical cord length, position in the womb, and the rate of finger growth) impact your fingerprint.
Earth's rotation is changing speed. It's actually slowing. This means that, on average, the length of a day increases by around 1.8 seconds per century. 600 million years ago a day lasted just 21 hours.
Your brain is constantly eating itself. This process is called phagocytosis, where cells envelop and consume smaller cells or molecules to remove them from the system. Don't worry! Phagocytosis isn't harmful, but actually helps preserve your grey matter.
Showtrial (2021)
Bad
Took 2.5 episodes to realise this is really bad drama, by that point it was in for a penny in for a pound sadly.
3 stars for the good performances at times by the female leads.. Despite the clichéd tripe they were given.
Andy Irons: Kissed by God (2018)
Tragic waste
Nothing beautiful about this story.
Guy who had it all but couldn't control a drug habit leaving a fatherless child and heartbroken wife.
Briilliant but utterly depressing film.
He wanted to make a film to deter kids from his mistakes, he may inadvertantly done so. I really hope so.
The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez (2020)
Privatised child protection agencies
So nobody can be surprised this can happen and will continue to. This is more depressing than the tragedy itself.
RIP Gabriel. Can't imagine the poor child's daily heartbreak and fear.
7 stars for a well put together documentary.
Dark (2017)
Ticked almost every box
Visually and audibly brilliant.
Brilliant story so well put together. Complex but really hard to find any plot holes.
Loved it, both seasons in 6 days.
Unbelievable (2019)
Unbelievable alright
Saccharine, dumbed down, undramatic (quite an achievement considering the subject matter) bloated waste of time.
3 stars for the young lead actress, she was great.
