I’ve seen the Charlton Heston one, and the 2001 Mark Wahlberg one. The original was obviously better. I hadn’t seen any of the current cycle until I saw Kingdom last weekend. It was fine.

I listened to a recap of the previous 3 films and it didn’t matter. Kingdom takes place “many generations” after the third movie so all the other characters are dead. Kingdom’s story works fine as a standalone film. It’s not amazing, but there’s nothing particularly awful about it. Now I’ll probably see the next couple, but they’re not high on my list.

I store mine in a plastic container with an air tight seal. I prefer to use fresh grounds, but my grinder seems more consistent with higher volume. I usually grind 2-3 brews worth at time.

A medium roast from Costa Rica. I’m using my small Chemex and I’m still dialing in the grind size. It’s brewing faster than a few weeks ago so I went finer. It’s at about a 3 minute brew, but still has a light mix of sour and bitterness.

I’m behind on using my subscription coffee so I started a batch of cold brew last night with the last 75 grams. Hopefully it turns out well.
