The Northman
2022, Robert Eggers
My rating: I like it
Robert Eggers knows just how to transport you into not only a different time, but into all the brutality and supernatural aspects of its folklore. What a great movie, even if (thankfully) all the masculine energy it exhales is not my cup of tea.

World of Warcraft - Midnight
2026, Activision Blizzard
My rating: Didn't like it
So much squandered potential. Warcraft has an incredibly rich lore, hundreds of memorable characters, and they even had an entire expansion before to build up to this one. And then proceeded to tell the most boring story ever. What’s worse, they even committed the crime of making the player character have no place in it. Seriously, who thought it’d be a good idea to have a story in which the player factions (Horde and Alliance) don’t even show up?
Gameplay is still fun because it’s WoW, but gosh what a narrative trainwreck.

The Devil Wears Prada
2006, David Frankel
My rating: I like it
A classic is a classic for a reason. Andy’s friends are a pain in the butt though, she’d be better off without them 😅

One of the small things that surprised me the most after moving from Brazil to Italy is how the seasons of the year are very clearly defined over here. Back where I lived we had summer and winter, yes, but none had their boundaries clearly set. It is not unusual to get 30ºC in June (winter) and also to get 10ºC in February. It is also not unusual at all to have both of those temperatures happen in the same day, especially in the fall and spring.
Here, it’s been a bit uncanny. Spring officially started on March 21st and within that same week, the weather got much sunnier, the temperatures rose at least 10 degrees, the trees changed from brown to green, and so many flowers started popping up on the previously-dry trees and on the grass.
Back home, the four seasons were more like suggestions, never truly taken seriously by the weather. Here, they seem to be real. Vivaldi was italian, after all.

Dune Part One
2021, Denis Villeneuve
My rating: Loved it!
Fantastic. Incredible. The soundtrack alone would make any movie good, but pair with amazing visuals and an incredibly interesting story? Heck yeah!

Hey there! March has been a busy month for me, so I wasn’t able to grab a lot of cool links, sadly. I do think all 3 are pretty cool, though! With no further ado, here are the links:
A Map Of Us, by Gabe Szeto
A world map where people can anonymously write about memories they’ve had in specific places. You can write your own or just roam around reading the memories of other people. It’s fun to look around places I know and see what kind of experiences people had there.
in a world looming with the threat of ai stealing your job, save humanity by stealing ai’s job.
Fun little website where you can play the part of an AI answering prompts made by humans. Remember to tell people they’re absolutely right!
Sneaky Header Blocker Trick, by Josh Comeau
Another great article by Josh explaining a neat little trick on how to make the header of a website dynamic… by having it not do anything at all. Don’t worry, it’s quite simple and he explains it way better than I ever could.
Bonus points for not requiring a single line of JavaScript.
Thanks for reading, hope to have more cool links next month!
