Frankenstein (2025) — A Review

27th November, 2025: Frankenstein.

The Introduction.

I need several things.

Money?

Dinner … ?

An occasional film?

There’s several things I could do with.

And yes: one of them is dinner.

I’ve got a burger cooking as we speak.

Yes: money’s handy.

Payday’s tomorrow, which is nice: but feel free to put something in my tip jar!

That’ll clean up the last of the Christmas, and birthday, presents.

Once dinner’s eaten, though … ?

I’m going to have a change in direction: and watch a movie.

And, yes: you’ve possibly guessed — from the poster — that the film I’ll be watching is very different to the last one I caught.

Given a well done burger, and time?

I’ll have this review done by 1st December.

Doctor Who — Series 12: Episode 8 — The Haunting of Villa Diodati — A Review

*Spoilers*

16th February, 2020.

Yes: it’s definitively the case.

My tumble dryer, the one that isn’t audible to you, but that I could hear whilst recording that video … 

Is a loud b*gger!

It’s noisy enough that I think I should replace it.

Except, of course, that it’s something I only bought last year!

Ho … 

Hum!

~≈Ÿ≈~

One thing I’m aware of … ?

Is simply that there’s a possibility I’ll be getting a cheap laptop, soon.

On my birthday, at the start of March.

The 4th, if you wanted to buy me a card.

At ANY rate … ?

There’s a possibility of a cheap laptop.

Me being me?

I’d rather not have Windows on the thing.

Just on general principles.

I’d far rather use an open source operating system like Ubuntu.

Usually?

I’d use an app called balenaEtcher to turn a USB memory stick into what’s called a live disc: a kind of installer, in other words.

Except, of course, balenaEtcher is having some sort of spasm … and refusing to work!

There’s a possibility, though, that I can get the same result by fiddling around in Terminal: the macOS equivalent to the Windows command line.

Old fashioned typed commands, in other words.

On top of that … ?

I may have to enable my root account — a sort of extremely powerful user account on a computer — to get that to work.

It’s not something I’m used to, or confident about: I’m very aware the root account is not something to play around with, lightly.

Although I can, in theory, activate the one on my old machine: and try the job on there.

We are going to have to see, aren’t we?

~≈Ÿ≈~

At any rate, it’s a Sunday night.

A Sunday night when Doctor Who

 is on.

Yes: you’re right, another episode of series 12.

I’ve been glued to it.

And, yes … 

The Haunting of Villa Diodati is fantastic.

The Daily Teaser — 30th August, 2014: Mary Shelley

Yayness … !

It’s Officially Saturday … !

Sorry, I’m getting a bit excited, there.

But it’s Saturday morning.   Which means, obviously, we’re heading for Saturday evening: and this week’s episode of Dr Who.

Well, frankly, I’m looking forward to it: especially after last week’s episode.

The trailer looks good: and has Daleks, so we can’t really argue, can we?

It’s just a shame they’ve done nothing with the New Paradigm Daleks: but there you go …
