Logging

Film: Nine Queens 

A lot of fun. Maybe worked better without the final twist, tho?

Film: Champions

A good plane watch, but less than what I was hoping for. 

Film: Spiderman Across the Spiderverse

Stunning for the first 70% of the story, especially the artwork and emotion. It's basically about being the parent of a teenager. But what is it with this whole multiverse stuff? It's strange, right? That every single superhero movie now exists in some type of parallel time and dimensions. My 7 year old kinda likes it and it provides some fun jokes, but ultimately makes the story somewhat incoherent and impossible to explain. Are these things now supposed to be gigantic in-group conversations for comic book fans?

I really liked what they did with Spot, the villain - giving him a character arc. Most fun character in the whole thing...

Book: Alaska by James Mischner

Unbelievable in terms of scope and research. Beyond impressive so far...
