Let&rsquo;s just get these all out of the way in one big post, shall we? No need to create a bunch of backdated entries for a few years ago, and by setting that precedent now I won&rsquo;t feel the need to for the OTHER years I want to backdate as well.</p> <h2 id="books">books</h2> <p>I am ashamed to say I don&rsquo;t have anything recorded? I know I was reading my usual webcomics, but most other series I had been following all ended and I hadn&rsquo;t picked up new ones yet. I don&rsquo;t think that it&rsquo;s actually possible I went through the year without reading anything of note, even if it was only one or two books, but&hellip; I guess maybe?</p> More ... https://4nm.us/posts/2026-01-21-2025-movies/ Wed, 21 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://4nm.us/posts/2026-01-21-2025-movies/ year in review movies 2025 <p>I don&rsquo;t normally go super heavy on movies, and 2025 was no exception in that regard. The last time I was a regular in theaters was when Alamo Drafthouse was only a block or two away from my apartment back in Austin, which meant that it was a great date spot for dinner. As it is, I don&rsquo;t really think many movies are coming out that justify current theater prices or putting up with audiences that tend to do a lot of loud phone use. Anyway, most of this was all rewatch instead of branching out into too many new films.</p> More ... https://4nm.us/posts/2024-12-31-year-in-review-part4-movies/ Tue, 31 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000 https://4nm.us/posts/2024-12-31-year-in-review-part4-movies/ year in review movies 2024 <p>Going to be honest, something had to give, and it was movies. I&rsquo;m still not doing theaters (it&rsquo;s not like there&rsquo;s an Alamo Drafthouse around here) for a variety of reasons, and honestly, I don&rsquo;t think anything came out to really make me feel like it anyway. Mostly rewatches abound.</p> <p>The Clan&rsquo;s Heir is a Trans Woman was &hellip; incredible. If you don&rsquo;t mind some <del>well meaning</del> slurs in a very &ldquo;his pronouns are she/her!&rdquo; way, you&rsquo;ll have a ton of fun with it.</p> More ... https://4nm.us/posts/2019-movies/ Tue, 23 Jun 2020 10:14:22 -0800 https://4nm.us/posts/2019-movies/ 2019 movies year in review <p>Similarly delayed, oh well.</p> <p>Despite watching basically every other Star Wars movie during 2019 and that the end of the Skywalker Trilogy released, we&rsquo;ve actually still not seen it. Last Jedi currently remains my favorite, followed by Rogue One, so from what I hear I&rsquo;m very unlikely to enjoy the ending &ndash; I know Last Jedi has its problems, but I&rsquo;m not up for the idea of effectively unwriting the movie out.</p> More ... https://4nm.us/posts/2018-movies/ Tue, 01 Jan 2019 14:01:08 -0800 https://4nm.us/posts/2018-movies/ 2018 movies year in review <p>I want to say I didn&rsquo;t watch much in the way of new movies this year, and I suppose that&rsquo;s mostly true, but the year just felt so long that most of the first time watch or new movies &hellip; well, they stopped feeling that way.</p> <p>Black Panther was incredible. I can&rsquo;t believe it took me this long to see Only Lovers Left Alive.

What a year. Most things being rewatches because of having kids (that&rsquo;s my excuse, anyway, we all know I&rsquo;m the one who picked most of the Disney movies) but there were a few outstanding first time watches.</p> <p>Last Jedi was amazing. I don&rsquo;t think we&rsquo;re quite past the spoiler embargo for it yet, it definitely had some problematic things to it, but wow. Holdo&rsquo;s look was fantastic, I loved the take on Luke&rsquo;s force powers, that we see Leia with force powers, and just how.. utterly relevant it kept feeling as a movie.</p> More ... https://4nm.us/posts/2016-movies/ Sat, 31 Dec 2016 14:08:15 -0800 https://4nm.us/posts/2016-movies/ 2016 movies year in review <p>Wow, what a year.</p> <p>I was glad to fit in Rogue One right at the end, because that movie blew me away. Reviews were calling it as good as Empire, and I&rsquo;m willing to go that far. Other things I saw called it a case study in engineering ethics, and that&rsquo;s an incredibly enlightening view of it. I&rsquo;ve got complaints (mostly around what.. I&rsquo;m not entirely sure weren&rsquo;t some offensive tropes?) but overall it was fantastic.</p> More ...
