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.
It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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)

Those who didn't get enough of Sebastian Stan in the recent Disney+ series can find quite a bit more of him in Monday, which I saw this afternoon at the cinema. It got to the point in the narrative where I thought to myself, "they're going to have sex AGAIN?!? Don't these characters do anything else?"
It reminded me a lot of 9 Songs actually.

Yeah, I meant The Father. Both my parents passed from dementia (or with it anyway); it's all too close.
