Then it should, if I can be bothered, be possible to point the phone at the telly and have it use machine learning to work out which film page I'm looking at on the Apple TV, either by deciphering the title or (for bonus points) recognising the cover art, and tell me when I last watched it
Not sure if I'll go that far, but it would be an interesting challenge
Or how about "Hey Siri, when did I last watch <film>?"
My master plan isn't helped by iTunes having marked a large number of films as "Watched" when they haven't been
Next plan: filter for films that are so marked but for which the "last played" date is nil, and mark them as unwatched if I don't remember having watched them
Tea/dinner this evening involved microwave rice, tomato soup, baked beans, a couple of apples, a tangerine, some bread, the odd touch of chilli sauce and some tea.
The Southern Comfort came along later.
This evening's first feature was "Metro (1997)" with Eddie Murphy as a cop in San Francisco.
A novel idea that's never featured in a flim previously but it was ok.
It's not Beverly Hills Cop, mostly because a) it's not in Beverly Hills, and b) because it's a drama/action movie not a comedy.
The first major motion picture of the evening was The Meg (2018), in which Jason Statham encounters a giant prehistoric shark (as do some other people, but it's mainly to do with him). I'm not an expert on these matters but I strongly suspect this film to be scientifically unsound. Still, it's entertaining enough despite that
One can imagine the initial production meeting:
"So, it's about a really big shark."
"Yeah, I think Spielberg already did that?"
"We're gonna need a bigger shark."
And after that, a rewatch of Reservoir Dogs (1992), which I watched for the first time getting on three years ago. Excellent film
