I haven't been feeling good all day. Watching some old black & white horror films. These are all pretty short (67, 70, 71, 74, 80 and 83 minutes long).

Every line out of Olivia Colmans mouth is 🔥. The quick one while looking at the pig is the funniest to me.

So good. Olivia Colman kills it in every scene.

The original is WAY better than the ones that came after and it's not even close.

A New Nightmare, yup. I think the original and New Nightmare are probably my favorites. Nightmare 2 and 3 are pretty good, too. It kinda drops off a bit from 4-6 before getting good again with 7 (New Nightmare).

My knees are so bad, especially the right one, that I needed to cover them in A-535 to get through the day when I worked retail. I'd cover my knees in it before my shift, and re-apply during my lunch break to get through the 2nd half of my shift. Some days I'd have to soak in the tub after my shift.
