weekly digest: can I make the #DailyStream recommendations even better?
the little bit that happened at Flick Filosopher from Monday, March 13, to Sunday, March 19
So I think my daily streaming recommendations — going out via both my Substack and my Patreon, and in truncated forms at Twitter, Mastodon, Post, and Facebook — are going well. And then there’s the weekly roundup that I post at Flick Filosopher on Sundays (like yesterday’s), after the last one of the week has gone out. But would you like me to post these each day at Flick Filosopher, too?
You can let me know in comments below this post at Substack, or by replying to the email version. (Of course, any other suggestions you have for making the #DailyStream posts are also welcome!)

65 movie review: dino droppings [pictured]
Adam Driver’s intensely focused, utterly unironic performance is the only saving grace of this movie of few ideas and little suspense, mystery, or excitement. There aren’t even that many dinosaurs. [read the review | cinemas US/UK]
loaded question: what’s your favorite Irish-related film or movie tidbit?

what I’m bingeing
The Mandalorian [Disney+ globally]: obvs someone at this show got the “Be More Andor” memo, and I’m good with that
The Last of Us [HBO Max US, Sky/Now UK]: whoo, that finale was brutal! when do we get more?
Old Enough! [Netflix globally]: didn’t get back to this last week
Picard [Paramount+ US (via Prime)/Prime UK]: I enjoyed how previously this series has felt different from other Trek shows, but now I am enjoying how this is starting to feel like more familiar Trek; I am why we can’t have nice new things, sorry
