I'm Not Obsessed With Mars
Dec. 15th, 2024 02:22 pmI'm not obsessed with Mars - I can stop thinking about the Red Planet anytime I want to. In the meantime, I got a new iPhone and found the wallpaper ugly so I changed it to a picture of Mars. In other news:
As part of getting a new iPhone, I got a 3-months-free deal on Apple TV. So far I've seen:
1) Greyhound, a gritty WWII movie about a convoy attacked by U-boats. Tom Hanks is the lead and it's a tense ride.
2) Blitz, another WWII movie. In this one, a woman sends her son away to the country in 1940 London, but he runs away and comes back. Also very good and unstinting - the son falls in with a group of crooks who are robbing bombed-out buildings, including one with the dead still inside. Also I learned that the London Tube did not want to let people use their stations as bomb shelters but was forced into it by popular demand.
3) The first two episodes of Black Doves, a British spy thriller. Of interest is that the spies have normal lives outside of spying and balancing that with being a spy is part of the show.
The latest book, Strawberry Gold goes live tomorrow!
