Want to reduce the noice and just focus on things with a little more meat - the this category is for you. Like so much on this site we have a ‘WIP’ as i take some out - and put some in - but safe for at least starting in 2026.

[@Dave](https://micro.blog/Dave) asked the question about Wordland as to whether I was surprised that having posted something … the screen didn’t clear. I get it and understand why the decision was made .. but it still caught me out.
[@om](https://micro.blog/om) is using Wordland to create a new kind of Daily post.
🎥 Barbie, 2023 - ★★★★
Finally got around to it and … Marvelous .. and I’m not even a fan of ‘musicals’. So good that it needs to be rereleased.

Improving Life - One Step at a time.
I started ‘a process’ this past weekend and then Mark Manson sent ‘me’ an email this morning …
TWO THINGS FOR YOU TO ASK YOURSELF
What do you want to be great at?
What can you do today so you’re a little better tomorrow?
Recommended: Use these as journaling prompts for the week.
ONE THING FOR YOU TO TRY THIS WEEK
Get a little better at that one thing you want to excel at this week. Let me know how it goes.
Remember: Small changes lead to lasting breakthroughs.
###Trying
🎥 The Laundromat, 2019 - ★★★★
Just a great one, that I saw in the theaters when it came out and logging it now .. 5 years later. Has it stood the test of time? No idea, have a watch and you decide.
Generation Beta?
I think describing who I am, what I want and need and everything else besides based on my age is baloney and claptrap. Hell - I’d put more money on being defined by astrology. But still this bunk persists.
It’s getting weirder.
🎥 Sicario, 2015 - ★★★★
Good cast, gritty and wrestles with that eternal question that the world still faces today … even more so … how do you fix the problem of really bad guys by being good guys that don’t break the law.

🎥 The Sum of All Fears, 2002 - ★★★
You don't often actually see a nuclear bomb go off in these kinds of movies - aren't they meant to be stopped with 2 seconds to go? It's a Reacher story with plenty of time during in to try to count how many different actors have played Jack over the years ... sorry not a big fan of Ben in these roles (no reason - he just always seems to fall short). They - for all of that - still 3 stars - I guess Tom is that good - and Morgan in the cast helps.
Don't not watch it - but don't go hunting for it either.

🎥 The Equalizer 3, 2023 - ★★★½
I know I’ve watched the first two at some point - but for the life of me - gonna have to revisit (maybe). Good story - and it’s Denzel … a solid action movie.

🎥 Deadpool & Wolverine, 2024 - ★★★★
The reduction of the bloated explosions continues in the Marvel Universe - and from my perspective - that is good.
Plus Ryan and Hugh.
Plus ‘Wick like’ choreography and it’s not that they are breaking the 4th wall - it’s more ‘what wall’?
Oh - and it’s Deadpool.
Big Fan.

💯 .. we’ve sort of been down this track before .. not so much Martin’s pov .. as the larger picture .. don’t be cowed .. about anything .. by anyone. And yes it can be scary .. but if nobody reads it .. then you got it out of your system .. if everybody reads it .. you will find that you are not alone.
Thinking ..
… it’s what you TRY to do when you are running micro.blog and then out of the blue suddenly fire up a new WordPress instance.
What you thinking about?
When and why you use one or the other.

That’s Philpin, Gruber and Jonny. This really resonated - and if you read some of the stuff I read - it will ring bells, because it is like life.
