My 8-month experiment with reviews in Cape Town

> Tiny progress is still progress.

That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where film stopped feeling new.

The detail that surprised me was how much a coworking table changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.

Context: I am not an expert, just someone trying to make Movies feel less intimidating. I wrote down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I would do differently next time.

I disagree a bit. cape matters, but the bigger issue is usually expectations. This is more useful on a tired commute than on a perfect day.

This is the kind of useful internet I still show up for. I noticed the same thing in Kuala Lumpur. The second half changed how I felt about the beginning.

Beautifully put. I needed that reminder today. This is more useful on a tired busy month than on a perfect day.
