Big, 1988 - ★★★
Continuing my Penny Marshall saga, I finally watched Big, a classic that I had never seen before. It features a sweet story and a charming cast. I was delighted to see the iconic scene where Tom Hanks plays music on the foot keyboard; it is very well done and uplifting. I was also surprised by how much Elizabeth Perkins resembles Millie Bobby Brown. 🍿

Quand tu as rendez-vous à disons 11h15, mais qu’on te précise qu’il faut arriver 5 minutes avant, est-ce que ça ne veut pas dire que tu as rendez-vous à 11h10 ? 🧘♂️

Depuis quelques jours, j’ai recommencé à utiliser Swarm pour check-in dans des lieux de Rennes. Ça permet d’isoler et de contextualiser les food pics et ça me permettra de faire une carte de mes spots rennais d’ici quelques mois. (Merci à Aaron Parecki pour l’inspiration)

Awakenings, 1990 - ★★★
This astonishing and heartwarming story, based on true events, highlights the importance of maintaining hope against all odds. It also explores what fair conditions are necessary for a proper life. The acting is remarkable, with Robert De Niro displaying incredible physical ability as he portrays a patient suffering from full-body spasms. The secondary characters also deliver impressive performances. I was particularly struck by the nurse, played by Julie Kavner, who was beginning her journey to fame as the voice of Marge Simpson at that time. Bonus points for the soundtrack featuring The Zombies' Time of the Season and Jimi Hendrix’s Purple Haze. And for featuring Kevin McCallister’s dad and The Ghostbusters' librarian.
— We call this place the garden.
— Why?
— Because all we do is feed and water them.

Avec mon ami Joe Gantdelaine, nous faisons des compiles trimestrielles et on a un peu de backlog. Ce soir, nous sortons Un Été 2023 (sic). Allez l’écouter, elle est cool et a une jolie photo de Sinéad O’Connor en cover. 🎵
Les appels et messages indésirables sur téléphone sont nombreux. Voici quelques conseils qui m’ont permis de me protéger :
- ~Je me suis inscrit sur Bloctel~1;
- J’ai installé Orange Téléphone sur mon iPhone, qui marque certains appels comme “⚠️ Télémarketing” ou “❌ Indésirable”;
- Je signale tout ce qui continue à m’arriver sur 337002.
Mise à jour : depuis le 11 août 2026, Bloctel est supprimé. Le consentement est désormais obligatoire pour le démarchage téléphonique.

Migration, 2023 - ★★★★
A fun family movie! While the plot offers no major surprises, it remains enjoyable and entertaining. I even noticed a wink to Zoolander's Mugatu (or maybe that's just my obsession with Will Ferrell speaking) and Home Alone 2 (pigeons with an arch in the background in Central Park), so bonus points for that! I'm a bit scared to rewatch it with my wife because she might say, “Mick is such a Mack” (I am). As for the kids, they might decide never to eat birds again. Note to self: I’ve never tried canard à l'orange; I should! 🍿

Everything Everywhere All at Once, 2022 - ★★★★
This is my second time watching the film. The first time was at the movie theater, where I fell asleep and woke up confused, unsure of what I had just seen. This time, I watched it at home, breaking it into four or five segments. Again, I dozed off during each part. However, I appreciated the ability to pause and resume the next day. I realized that this movie is 100% a comedy, rather than a family drama about a broken relationship between a mother, her husband, and their daughter. It cleverly weaves fun into these family issues, making them vague enough for everyone to relate to on some level of "what if…?". I enjoyed it much more this time around. 🍿

Jolie vidéo de la marque Asphalte :
Produire, c’est utiliser des ressources mais on refuse de laisser les marques qui ne font aucun effort gagner cette bataille, parce que si on arrête, elles continuent de cramer la planète à toute vitesse. Alors on reste, on se bat, et on innove.
Depuis quelques années, quand j’ai besoin d’un vêtement, je l’achète chez Asphalte, Seagale, Le Slip Français, ou Archiduchesse. Mais c’est bien Asphalte qui est le plus clair sur l’importance des pièces intemporelles qui durent longtemps.
Grâce à eux, j’ai une garde robe suffisante, et je n’aurai besoin de rien pour plusieurs mois. C’est le paradoxe : parce qu’ils bossent bien, j’ai de moins en moins besoin d’eux. Mais la planète si. À vous de jouer désormais.

Inside Out 2, 2024 - ★★★½ (contains spoilers)
This review may contain spoilers.
I watched it by myself. I believe kids need to be teenagers or pre-teens to truly appreciate it. While it's not quite as good as the original Inside Out, it is still very solid. The ending is reminiscent of the one in Monsters, Inc., and it made me shed a tear. Again. 🍿
