Cautiously optimistic about this adaptation. Casting choices, dim lights and muddy audio mix aside, this could be my movie of the year, 2026.

And there's a comet! So this week we've had at least two aurora shows, and now a comet! What stellar portents! 😄 This is comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS). It's not new, but the last time it swung through the inner solar system was ~ 80,000 years ago. So go have a look for it, if there's no clouds

Finally got a chance to see Wim Wenders’s film Perfect Days, and it was worth the wait. A succession of small beautiful moments balanced on a knife’s edge between joy and sorrow. An exaltation of seeing and being. And that long final shot: absolutely transcendent. What a gift.
