There's a theory that this is another Dark Ages, because once again
we're exhaustively mining the past instead of creating anything
ourselves. I don't know if it will last as long. We're mining the
culture of mere decades ago, and I'm not sure there's enough of it to
keep us going as a society of sequels and reboots.
What did everyone else watch?
Over the weekend I watched both seasons of the anime SOLO LEVELING.
Where is it airing?
For fans of Anime, "All You Need is Kill" is getting a theatrical
release this week. I've never seen the movie before, but I plan to see
it this weekend. It's from the same source material as the 2014 Tom
Cruise movie, "Edge of Tomorrow."
I also got in the first episode of BERLIN STATION,

open with the death of the main character but then goes back in time
to show how we got there. The premise is that someone is leaking CIA
secrets to a reporter in Berlin. A CIA analyst figures out something
about the leaker which ends up having him sent to Berlin to track down
the source of the leak.

movies in the franchise, but this is one of the better ones.

I downloaded it in search of another anime that had a similar concept,
but you can watch it here on Crunchyroll. https://www.youtube.com/show/SCHSJcfyXqldHaJWgcrMUY5w?season=1&sbp=CgEx
The anime I was looking but didn't find had a similar concept of a guy
who was very low level. He worked as a porter for a high level team
and somehow got stuck in the dungeon and somehow managed to survive constantly leveling up until he finally met back up with his team, but pretended to still be the same low level porter. Never did find it in
either anime or manga/manwha form.
For fans of Anime, "All You Need is Kill" is getting a theatrical
release this week. I've never seen the movie before, but I plan to see
it this weekend. It's from the same source material as the 2014 Tom
Cruise movie, "Edge of Tomorrow."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MzSWdkqqCc
So this movie appears to be based on the light novel, while EDGE OF
TOMORROW more closely held to the manga. So there will be differences
which is pretty clear if you watch the trailer.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2NtcD7V-vgY
This short covers the basics of the manga and you can clearly see how
it relate to the Cruise/Blunt movie.
I also got in the first episode of BERLIN STATION,
I think this might have been on might watch list at some point, then I
probably forgot it existed.
Yeah, that happens. I had this recorded but never got around to
watching it. Just happened to decide to watch it this weekend when
looking for something new to watch.

I watched the first movie but I'm not sure I ever got around to
watching the second one. Still on my list.
The Copenhagen Test (Peacock) - "Copenhagen" - New spy series starring
Simu Liu as a spy who has his head hacked allowing for an unknown enemy
to see and hear everything he does. It took me a while to work my way
through the first episode, but now that I'm done with episode one, I

Yeah, I watched the first few episodes and enjoyed it.
Sounds like when you search for one movie on Netflix, but they don't
have it so they recommend something else that's similar. That also
happens when I'm searching for movies on Target's website. They don't
have the movie I want, so they just show me similar movies. That gets *really* annoying!

I just watched that. He seems to tie the mining in with wokeness, and
I'm not sure that's so. There may be common factors, though.
I've come to believe that we should rewind the world by at least a few decades and try again. We didn't do it right.
