Wasn't sure if I should put this here or in Streaming, but I just watched Brittany Runs A Marathon last night and I thought it was pretty good. I only wish I could get my life moving by, you know, moving, but it was still a good reminder of the importance of a goal, whether it happens like you think it would or not And, I thought it was good that losing weight didn't immediately fix her life.
Do you see any goats around? No, because I sacrificed them.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
The Sheep Detectives is totally delightful and lot more emotionally affecting than I expected from the trailers.

Right? I liked the animation or however the sheep worked, too. I hope it’s not all AI driven or something

There were a couple moments of wonky CGI with the sheep but other than it completely sold the illusion for me. As far as I can tell it from reading online it was all done with "traditional" computer animation.
I will say it was little weird seeing the guy playing the reporter after seeing him as He-Man in the Masters of the Universe trailer immediately before the movie.

Heh, didn't notice that at all. Or maybe I saw different trailers, I saw it a couple weeks ago.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
We watched Incredibly Bright Creatures on Netflix and really enjoyed it. Partly because it was filmed just up the coast from us and it was fun to see "our" landscape and coast in a movie. Probably too predictable and sentimental for a lot of people, but I'm finding films too psychologically challenging these days. I suppose I'm turning into my mom who watched Wheel of Fortune every day--appointment TV.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
I saw Backrooms at the theater Tuesday night. A very weird movie, but worth seeing for Chiwitel Ejiofor's performance alone. It was really good at causing anxiety even when not much was happening.

Oh, I want to see that, Beverly. I didn't know it was out already

We read it for book club and the movie did it justice. It was just a pleasant time with both.

This was almost the worst time I could have picked to watch "Poor Things" Too hard not to identify. But if I'd gone to the theater, it could have been like the flip side of watching "Ice Castles" with the girls from eighth grade chorus. Not quite as bad as watching that sad-tutor Brendan Fraser movie after the trump re-elect, though. ETA: What was one viewing experience that something in your life...made more awkward than it should be?
