And now Silent Night (2021)! What a strange, darkly comedic, and very grim take for a Christmas movie. Loads of terrible posh folks, some smart one liners, and a bit of deep thoughts too

Silent Night (2023) done! It was fine. Very John Woo with gunfights and slow-mo (good) but a surprise with pretty much zero dialogue - I didn’t realize the silence was literal! A lot of Joel Kinnaman brooding (complimentary) but a bit too much lead up. Like a movie that’s 2/3s training montage.

These two are on the list! I just haven't gotten to them yet. But one other I've always dreamed of singing on stage is Self-Esteem by The Offspring...

Ha, two songs I haven't *yet* sung at live band karaoke cracked my top 5 songs on my YouTube Music Recap! 👀

Thank you! 😊

Congrats! It's going right onto my TBR! I loved A Haunted History of Invisible Women.

Oh no, what!? That would be not great for my day job...
