Godzilla vs. Kong
Kinda epic fight at the end. But too short. And plenty of boring teen jokes. Oh wait, the movie is rated R13. Ouch.
Teroris dan Agama??
Beberapa hari lalu terjadi pengeboman bunuh diri di Gereja Katedral Makassar. Setiap kali terjadi peristiwa serupa, selalu saja muncul statement-statement seperti ini di media sosial: “Teroris itu tidak beragama” “Ini bukan masalah agama, tapi oknum” “Si X itu mungkin tidak belajar agama dengan benar…” “Kami mengutukan aksi pengeboman…” Berhubung kata bapak presiden RI “terorisme tidak …
See You Later, Kinokuniya Plaza Senayan
It’s said that all good things must come to and end. After more than 2 decades of service, finally Kinokuniya Plaza Senayan reaches its end. I’ve been a regular customer since junior high school days (umm… 2000 perhaps?). Spent countless hours there reading books. OK, not a “regular customer” yet at the time, because most …
Justice League Snyder Cut
Overall, it doesn’t change my general impression about that movie, which is between unimpressed and slightly disappointed.

Farewell Olympus (??)
Two days ago, Olympus released a shocking announcement: Take note that the memorandum doesn’t mention anything about bankruptcy at all. Olympus just sold their camera division to another company (JIP), who are going to make profit out of this investment. In shorter words: change of ownership. Of course the normal response is how JIP is …
