Having amazing streaming capability and a host of good apps and websites to call upon is pretty much essential in our current climate. And that's pretty rich coming from me because as some of you would know I generally like to kick it old school and do not use social media platforms or apps to get my jollies. However I am not completely immune to the power, allure or entertainment factor of the internet, I'm a Gen X for goodness sake - I bloody love tech! And even though I am mostly reclusive on the internet, I do have a number of apps and websites that I just could not manage without.
Apps I Cannot Live Without:
Now, let's look at my can't live without YouTube channels:
And we all have our fave go to stations, apps and YouTube channels and quite frankly, we all need them right now. Technology is the only thing that is really keeping us connected and relevant at the moment, so I think that it is totally okay to allow yourself to fall into a few web-related rabbit holes or just surrender to a TV embrace for a few hours. With so many restrictions and guidelines and barriers around almost every other aspect of our lives, it feels not only good but also extremely necessary to escape, tune out and enjoy some simple and accessible pleasures. And if that happens to come in the form of an app, video game, TV show, movie, YouTube station or website - then I say go for it and enjoy it fully.
Thank goodness that we have technology to fill the boring void that we are all experiencing whilst we await a COVID19 vaccine. Come on science, we are all just marking time and waiting for you to deliver now!

THE VAST OF NIGHT
Release Date: 2019
Rating: M
Running Time: 91 mins
An American science fiction/mystery film directed and written by Andrew Paterson under the pseudonym of James Montague and Craig W. Sanger. When it comes to old school story telling, this film wins hands down. I literally felt like I was sitting around an old radio listening to an intriguing and creepy sci-fi story and I found myself completely drawn in and mesmerized by how original and unique this movie was.
In the 1950's, in the small town Cayuga, New Mexico something strange is hitting the airwaves. First identified by Fay, the sweet and savvy teenage switchboard operator and then confirmed by her friend Everett, the local teenage DJ, the mysterious and unsettling audio signal is clearly trying to communicate something. The two curious teens work together to try and identify what is causing the sound and discover something far bigger than they had ever expected.
Everything about this film works. The story telling, the camera angles, the sound design and the compelling way that it is all put together, it is really impressive without being over-worked or obvious.
The Vast of Night is delivering really intelligent sci-fi storytelling that is going to deeply please some fans and then frustrate the crap out of the people that are looking for a Hollywood big budget experience. Don't come looking for bells and whistles here, you won't get them, but you will get a high quality, smart sci-fi experience and for that reason I loved it.
FINAL SAY: I've seen good people go bad, and smart people go mad.
