Book Review: "Bowling Alone" by Robert D. Putnam
As you can probably see, I am riding another deep-dive train and this time I'm looking at how our own age is basically destroying us. One thing I can honestly say by now is that the kind of books I've been reading were written back in the 90s and 2000s and so, seem to project the idea that this has been around for far longer than the simple social media/AI age. Bowling Alone is a cornerstone of this kind of literature. As I was making the rounds about Reddit - not posting, just looking - I was trying to find a book which looks at this from an individual perspective rather than a technology perspective or one that deals with the group of us as a population of users and consumers. So, Bowling Alone was the highest recommendation. Let's take a look at what the book was about and what I thought about the major points it made.

Bugonia . Top Story - December 2025.
Okay so I have a love-hate relationship with Yorgos Lanthimos. He is either brilliant, or he’s a self indulgent mess with no message of any kind and there really doesn’t seem to be any in between. So watching his movies is tedious. That said he always manages to pull in actors that I love so I always bite the bullet and watch whatever he puts out. This year's entry is Bugonia. And from a hit or miss director this one is a hit.

Maxton Hall – The World Between Us Season 2 Review
When Maxton Hall – The World Between Us premiered, it quickly became one of the surprise international hits of its year—an irresistible blend of elite-school drama, slow-burn romance, and emotional intensity. Based on Mona Kasten’s bestselling Save trilogy, Season 1 ended with heartbreak, unanswered questions, and a promise of much deeper conflict ahead. Season 2 fulfills that promise with striking confidence. It is richer, more mature, and more emotionally resonant than its predecessor—an evolution that elevates the series from addictive teen romance to a genuinely powerful character-driven drama.

Weapons
Weapons was the talk of the internet when it first came out, but the response seemed to be like a flash in the pan. Honestly that’s part of the reason I put some distance between my watch and the film's release date unless it's something I’m dying to see. Not that I ever believe public opinion anyway but it's nice to see if the film's quality holds up against the internet’s attention span.

Revisiting The Visitors: How a 1993 French Comedy Became a Timeless Cultural Gem
Some films survive because they are masterpieces. Others survive because they are quirky, unpolished, chaotic, and utterly unforgettable. The Visitors (Les Visiteurs, 1993), the cult-classic French comedy directed by Jean-Marie Poiré, belongs squarely in the latter category—and that’s exactly why it continues to charm audiences decades later. Equal parts slapstick, satire, and absurdist fantasy, the film blends medieval mayhem with modern-day madness in a way that still feels fresh, even in a world saturated with time-travel stories.

Oh. What. Fun.: A Holiday Film That Surprises More Than It Sparkles
Holiday films are usually predictable. We expect twinkling lights, cozy sweaters, old romances rekindled, and the ultimate reassurance that everything will be okay by Christmas morning. Oh. What. Fun.—a 2023 dark comedy set during a dysfunctional family’s Christmas Eve gathering—does not offer that kind of comfort. Instead, it flips the holiday-movie formula on its head, delivering a sharper, messier, and surprisingly genuine story about family chaos, hidden wounds, and the complicated love that binds people who drive each other crazy.
