Watched BBC Four – Uncle Vanya on iPlayer. Beautiful set, great acting, Aimee Lou Wood as Sonya was super.
Anton Chekhov’s tender exploration of human frailty, filmed during 2020's lockdown.
Watches
watching a movie, television show, online video, play or other visual-based event
Watched: St Francis ★★★★☆ I laughed a lot. 🎥
Watched Rebecca ★★★☆☆ I enjoyed this much more than Peter Bradshaw’s Guardian Review suggested.
Watched: summerland ★★☆☆☆ more of a children’s film in my view.
Watched: The Perfect Candidate ★★★★☆ enjoyed this there is not a lot of excitement, no big drama but lots of insight and things to think about, not least the strangeness of Saudi Arabia.
Watched: The Flavour of Green Tea over Rice beautiful, plot seemed a bit thin. Reading about the roots of the script helped, I think the wartime seeing would have had more punch. The noodle bar name in the subtitles was LOL!
Watched Who You Think I Am Juliette Binoche was marvellous as was Nicole Garcia and twists kept us thinking ★★★★☆ 🎬
Fawkes Faces
Fascinating watch
More on Fawkes This is really fascinating stuff.
Including Binaries for MacOS/Windows/Linux
This is a commandline thing, but the instructions are fairly straightforward.
My test took a bit longer than 40 seconds per image. I can see a wee bit difference and there is a fair increase in file size. I wonder if the cloaking survives resizing or other image operations.
Update, the first run produced png files, I then read the help and set the format for output to jpg. That made the file size a lot smaller. 140 KB as opposed to the original 828 KB
I guess this ort of thing could be built in to image editors.

and Creating New Environments in Reclaim Cloud – YouTube
Reclaim Cloud – Reclaim Your Adventure! looks interesting. Might poke around in the beta, but probably way over my head, needs and pay grade…
Watched: Parasite ★★★☆☆ enjoyed it but was not blown away. Didn’t hang together enough for me. Preferred Shoplifters which had a similar start. My wife noted similarities to The Servant 🎬
