Well, we finally got some good news today. Kristi had her bloods tested earlier on this week and we got the results back. Her blood indicators for cancer were down from over 4 to 2.85, which says that the chemo is working. I guess we will know more next month after her next set of scans.

Feeling chilly outside tonight. We've had our first (slight) taste of snow and it isn't really winter yet. Looks like it will be a cold one this year. Booked the holidays off on leave. Looking forward to 15 days off, for just 6 days leave.

Started looking at the RAF Reserves just out of curiosity. Were I to join them it would double my daily pay, but of course they would want me to work more for it lol. It isn't a job I especially want but until I get the back rent paid off, or Kristi goes back to work it would be great to have the additional money. It isn't that we are going without, but life would be slightly more comfortable if we had a little more coming in.

watching it now, and remembering bits... forgot it was a Michael Bay film.... clearly the best thing he's done.

"Beautiful", "boring", "visually stunning", "takes ages" all appear repeatedly on my Guillermo DelToro FRANKENSTEIN card... shocking to hear people yelling Bingo!

 :smile: I appreciate that. I try to remain respectful in my criticisms (mostly) as I respect your opinions too, and I tend to get defensive when I see people expressing opinions like "David Lynch was an idiot" and the like. I really don't hate any of those films we've named - I just don't share the majority consensus reverence for them, and I guess therefore I see them as more worthy of criticism than, you know, poor Ed Wood or Bill Rebane  :bouncegiggle: ...guys who have taken nothing but abuse for many decades.

Also I do love NIGHT OF THE HUNTER for the record and have meant to rewatch it for a long while now.

Quote from: Dr. Whom on November 24, 2025, 05:28:24 PMVisually, it is stunning. Enormous care has gone into the production design, which is magnificent.

to me this is like the equivalent of a band who records their album in a massive top of the range studio, then gets the best sound engineers in the world to tweak everything to perfection... but if their songs are boring it counts for zero. (imo)

I wouldn't say it is hollow. It does make some points, it is just that it spends ages getting to them.

It doesn't help that everybody knows the story. When you get the extensive backstory of young Frankenstein, you're not wondering 'where will this all lead to', I was thinking 'when will get to the creature'.
