Lovely atmosphere at #HotNumbersCoffeeRoasters in Shepreth this morning. Great coffee, delicious breakfast and a rare opportunity to see so many Conradies.

#MarkZuckerberg can call #Facebook whatever he wants, but fundamentally so much human potential in society shouldn't be manipulated towards generating advertising revenue.

#TheKing is a most remarkable interpretation of Shakespeare's Henriad. The dialog, soundtrack and atmospheric cinematography are so good, I could not look away. Please, more of this kind of thoughtful storytelling. Netflix UK & Ireland #DavidMichôd m.imdb.com/title/tt798476…

The trouble with the bizarre #Tory preoccupation to undermine the national treasure that is the #BBC, is that masterpieces such as #SusannaWhite's Parade's End may not be produced as a testament to British artistic genius. #TomStoppard #FordMadoxFord m.imdb.com/title/tt195601…

It's such a pleasure to watch #SusannaWhite's Parade's End, which I do every year. I'm always bemused by the fact that it took me several years to realise that Sylvia Tietjens is the principal protagonist of the narrative. Several years, no less. #BBC #TomStoppard #FordMadoxFord

Finished watching #RedOaks this weekend. Glad I savoured the episodes over many weeks, since most of the characters are a comic delight. The first few minutes of S3E1, where David fails to charm a barista with his witty repertoire, should be immortalised. #FinestTVMoments

The scene where #Flash prevents #Iris from being in an accident, is one of the finest moments in film. Beautiful score to go along with the emotion. #SnyderCut #FinestFilmMoments m.imdb.com/title/tt123619…

#TheSenseOfAnEnding is a hidden gem of a film, beautifully gentle in its telling. Sometimes redemption finds you. #BBCFilms #JulianBarnes

I read #JulianBarnes' novel #TheSenseOfAnEnding a few days after seeing the film, which has a starkly different tone. The novel's raw emotion is overpowering, affected my state of mind deeply and has stayed with me. I've only recently felt that I could come up for air.

Verily, I greatly enjoyed watching the six part #ObiwanKenobi. A most worthy addition to the #StarWars canon in my view, made possible by #EwanMcGregor's superb portrayal of a character so central to the #StarWars universe. Disney+

#CallMeByYourName is a remarkable and stylish film, exposing raw human emotion seldom portrayed so effectively on film. The performances are masterful. #LucaGuadagnino m.imdb.com/title/tt572661…

Thank you for everything, your Majesty. m.youtube.com/watch?v=7UfiCa…

#Andor is an outstanding addition to the Star Wars canon. The storytelling is so good, it rivals even the best of the films. Little wonder, as #SusannaWhite directed several of the episodes.

I've been experimenting with #GPT4 created by #OpenAI for a few weeks. Other than the occasional hallucination, I agree with #BillGates that it is as revolutionary as Gutenberg's printing press and Hargreaves' spinning jenny. gatesnotes.com/The-Age-of-AI-…

When Dune was released to cinema in 2022, my daughter and I were awed by #DenisVilleneuve's masterpiece. Having watch it again recently, I can only imagine what #DenisVilleneuve and #SusannaWhite would create, given an opportunity to remake #LordOfTheRings.

More #fediverse, well because countries should be federal, or maybe because Switzerland has cantons: pixelfed.social/alex.conradie
