Been taking the opportunity to enjoy my OLED TV a lot lately and at the moment am enjoying Dangerous Days: Making Blade Runner. I always enjoyed Blade Runner, even the oft-lamented theatrical release, but this documentary (longer than the movie itself!) really gives me greater appreciation for the movie.

Other stuff I've been watching and enjoying since I got the new TV:

I watched the three Daniel Craig 007 films in an attempt to get myself interested in Spectre. Nothing doing. I hate the scripts and loathe Craig's rendition of Bond. George Lazenby on the other hand was underrated just because that film was so slow. On the bright side, every time I see From the Earth to the Moon, it is more magical. What an incredible piece of work and tribute to the men and women that made the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions happen. It's a freaking crime that it's been more than 40 years since we last stepped foot on the moon and be another 10 years or more before we can do it again.
