If there’s ever a second movie, it will always be bigger, better, expensive. You get a second chance. We can do things right this time!
Shrek 2 is the second movie.
Past number two, it’s all cash, baby.
Don’t watch Shrek the Third.
Music is great. Jokes are great. You get lost in the world of Far Far Away.
Dialogue isn’t great.
It’s kind of funny?
It took us 3 nights to watch it.
The colour correction was very dark.
Harry Trevaldwyn is a delight.
The TikTok scenes were great.
The movie is about making a movie in a pandemic, and how hard it is. The movie they’re making doesn’t go well.
The very end scene is the producers and director questioning whether they ‘have enough for a cut’. They decide ‘at least we tried to make a movie’. Then they pat themselves on the backs saying, ‘we made something for everyone in these trying times’.
The movie — as a whole — is the punchline.
This must be what Judd Apatow films are like. Funny improv edited together so they’re coherent enough to picture lock.
Always start with a brisk 5 min warm-up walk.

Unsure if the whole film will look like this.
The subtle hues for locations give meaning to each scene:
I’d imagine the story-telling/flashback scenes will have low saturation, and the present day story-teller will be in full colour.

Running/jogging is just walking with a little bounce.
Beginners should jog so slow they could walk at that speed. It’s important to go slow and focus on breathing, form, and build up the strength of your joints gradually as you rack up the miles.¹
Helps slow your breathing as a beginner. It helps keep air in longer so you can use it and not hyperventilate; it can also help you focus.
It helps prevent hyperventilation by lengthening a breath cycle due to decreased airflow. It’s difficult for newbies to properly gage how much is too much/how fast is too fast, so this method imposes physical restrictions. If you sit on your couch and breathe as fast as you can, you’ll start to get dizzy because you’re cycling air through your lungs faster than they can process it, resulting in decreased oxygen supply. The same thing happens when you breathe too fast while running.²
You’ll need more oxygen when you get better at running.
As you increase your running ability, you will need to teach your diaphragm to properly regulate airflow at high demand so as to both supply oxygen where it’s needed and to also not hyperventilate. More experienced runners use both their mouth and nose because their oxygen needs are higher than the nose can provide, and they’ve already figured out what the diaphragm needs to do in order to meet their needs.²
I didn’t know Loretta Lynn until I saw this video. She passed away today.
When she collaborated with Jack White on Van Lear Rose Loretta Lynn was 72, and Jack was 28.
She calls herself a ‘coal miner’s daughter’; her father working the Van Lear coal mines. A Van Lear Rose if you will.
I couldn’t find her album, so I downloaded it and it’s wonderful. It feels like the missing piece between The White Stripes and The Raconteurs, then concluding with Jack’s solo albums.
Country music has always had two sides for me. I grew up thinking country pop was the only kind country music. But I’ve always respected and enjoyed the truth of country folk.
Living a slow, simple life.
Reading.
Interested in studying.
What does it mean to love something on the internet today?
The books and movies that I love, I return to.
Maybe that’s a REASONABLE DEFINITION OF LOVE on the internet on anywhere: TO LOVE IS TO RETURN
I don’t know about you… but on the internet, I don’t return to much.

I’m interested in studying Psychology next year. These are my reasons:
I haven’t really studied in my life. This will be the first time I’ll be studying something professionally. I’m excited. Something is different about this.
Update: I can’t study. I’m focusing on work and family this coming year. I’ll study at some point.
Reading a lot.
