Oh that reminds me of the episode where Giles was turned into a monster ('It's only a *little* tail!") and when he chased after the evil professor, gargling in monster speak, the closed caption read "Run! Run away fast, you evil little woman! Evil!" or something like.
Tara: 'Your One-Stop Spot to Shop for Lots of New-Age and Occult Items.' Catchy. Giles: Think so? Tara: Uh huh. In a... hard to say sorta way.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Finally got a chance to see "The Father," which has a brilliant conceit executed superbly. Anthony Hopkins always gives memorable performances but he's next level in this film as a man suffering from progressive dementia. It plays often like a thriller, or even horror, and engaged me thoroughly during its deeply upsetting and disorienting 97 min runtime. The entire film is an exercise in immersive empathy. I went to a late showing last night with about 10 people in the entire theater, and heard several people sobbing out loud near the end. I went in expecting it to be a staid Oscar film and it's anything but. Highly recommended.
6 Best Picture nominees down, "The Trial of Chicago 7" to go (groan).

God bless you, Vonnie, but I don't think there's any way I can watch that movie.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, my mother asked if I wanted to watch it with her, and I just said Hell No.

I watched it. Sasha Baron Cohen is almost unrecognizable and pretty good! That is the best part.

Our wings are not tired.
That really sounds too rough for me as well.

Oh wait, I was talking about The Father, what are you all talking about?

I was talking about The Father. Don't really need a film to make me sob.

Yeah, same.

Yeah, this movie will hit particularly hard those who've had loved ones suffer the ravages of dementia. I should mention that, even though the subject matter is grim, the filmmaking is clever and dynamic and the movie really keeps you on your toes. It's not at all a depressing slog. As emotionally rough as it was, I was ultimately very glad to have watched it.
