Will yap on (with only the slightest encouragement) about film, cats, comedy, music, manners, vanity, ego, and estate agents.
I don't know if 25th Hour or The Shining is the best film ever made.

Started my Christmas films for the year. 23 of them; a number of which I've never seen. Including this one
What an interesting film. It keeps a lot of the gravity and grit of the original story, in a family film. No wink-wink, just raw detail.
Funny, catchy songs and charming.
And Beaker.

If you want evidence the world is getting dumber, just look at the high use of the word "deserve" in adverts.
Years ago, grifting salesmen using that were laughed at and pitied. Now we lap it up. 'Yes. They're right. My Christmas *does* deserve music and my music *does* deserve Bose'.
Fuc's sake.

Currently annoyed at the latest popular degradation of a saying.
It's not "It's better to ask forgiveness than permission". That's presumptuous, entitled and rude.
It needs to recognise/imply the poor behaviour.
The correct saying is "It's *easier* to ask forgiveness than permission".

I did the preregistration just after 10am yesterday but still not heard anything.
I don't want to jeopardise my chances by doing it twice.
Can you tell me what's happening please?

Well, that's a 3 day bank holiday weekend gone.
Went out once, to the vets. Spoke to 2 people. Texted 2 more (replies I couldn't avoid).
At 53, I do think my physical health can't be good, but going out is just much too much to ask of my mental health.

Neighbour downstairs suddenly told me last night he's away for a few days and 'would I mind' (choice?!) Feeding his turtle this week.
Just gone down to feed him.
It's soooo hard to know if they're dead or not.

⅖ may be 40% (admittedly nice and clean), but it occupies a silly amount of brain downtime because of its awkward relationship with 'half'.
And I don't like that this has done so, all my adult life.

Playing out as a relationship drama to begin, the slides very well into a psych horror.
Seemingly tackling parenting inadequacies and nuance blindness, it's a good, solid film.
