* I still think, after viewing the extended sneak peek on Youtube, that the new Superman film does look good. It's weird, but so many people in comments on Youtube agree that it literally "looks great" - meaning the colours and CGI and cinematography overall. And there's a dog, of course. It's funny how some trailers can really still hit the spot and make a film look like it will definitely be a hit - I felt the same about the one for Everything Everywhere All at Once.
* I see that Spielberg is now actually directing his first film in years, and it's a science fiction one something to do with UFOs. Cool.
* There is also a new Wes Anderson film coming out. And again, it is in his highly, highly idiocentric and stylised, um, style, which makes the recent films play more like dryly and ironically amusing comic books than anything reflecting the real world. In fact, I reckon people now feel that his refusal to back down from this signature style has become something of a meta-joke in itself. As for me: I do think his "miss" rate has been getting higher (I didn't think much of Asteroid City, although I was watching on an jet and had interruptions), but I still am happy to try out each new one to see just how amused I am. I don't know why, but there is something pleasing about his persistent self indulgence, perhaps because you have a sense of how much he likely enjoys creating it?
* On politics: I am encouraged about the Labor policy to subsidise more home battery power. As I said a while ago - why aren't they (and solar panels, and solar hot water) a requirement on all new house builds under State construction codes? Maybe not worth it in Tasmania, but definitely for most of the country.

What’s the battery for? What’s the logic here. You mean paired up with solar panels and off-peak electricity?
That would be good but what is the dumb left logic?
