I’m not goint to insist that Carpenter never makes a bad movie (cough, Starman), but as usual, he doesn’t disappoint with Ghosts of Mars, completing the conceptual trilogy on a definite upturn.

All in all a memorable experience, even if Zulu stank, if I’m honest.

A while back, I dropped my nexus on the floor, so the screen cracked. A few weeks ago, months later, I noticed a small speck of maybe three or four dead pixels right next to the crack. A few days later, it had grown to a very fine line, probably two pixels wide and maybe a centimeter long.
A week later it looked like this:
And now, another couple of weeks further on, it’s grown even more:
Where will it end?
