On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

Our wings are not tired.

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

Yeah, same.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

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.

Oh, I believe it -- everything I've heard about it sounds amazing. I just don't have any interest in putting myself through it at this point.

Vonnie, have you seen Druk / Another Round? Pete and I are considering watching it.

ION, the first images for the third movie in The Conjuring series have been released, and I am ridiculously excited. The movies are distillations of the trashy "based on a true story!" haunting and/or possession paperbacks I loved as a tween. The real-life Warrens? Scam artists and kinda awful. The movie version of the Warrens? Cuddly and loveable.

It's on my list to watch this weekend before the Oscar :) It's supposed to be really good. I think I'll hit this one plus "Collective", which is nominated for best documentary and is also on Hulu.

I cord-cut earlier this year and have been too lazy to get an antenna, so I probably won't get to watch the actual ceremony, which is this Sunday. Ah well. The highlights will be on Youtube later, no doubt.

Another Round is GREAT. And now I shall stomp-dance my way to the kitchen and make myself a Sazerac as movie Gods intended. (Why yes, I keep an absolutely enormous bottle of absinthe in my liquor cabinet, why do you ask)
