I've heard a lot of people say very similar things to you along the lines of visually stunning but hollow.

Another 12-hour shift and many bad horror films to be watched. I swear they make these things faster than anyone could watch them. The one I am watching at the moment seems to feature a woman who can make men's testicles explode by staring at them.

Meh, I've seen weirder.

Kristi had to have the dressing on her canula changed today so it was a case of drop Ash off at school, start laundry, go with her to the local doctors and back, do some more laundry and the dishes, get the last of the decorations up, get Ash from school, get him off to his sports class, then get ready for work which is where I get to relax. Tomorrow morning when I finish, I'll get home and sit in the man cave for a bit until my hands warm up from the cold outside before I can get into bed. Kristi will get Ash to school unless she's feeling ill, in which case I'll sort that out, then get to bed afterwards.

This is life now and I guess it will continue like that until she gets better.

Got all the presents for Kristi and Ash bought. I'm going down to Glasgow this weekend to see the first band I ever saw live. They occasionally get back together for a reunion gig. Last one was pretty disappointing. They were just up there having fun, which I guess I should have expected but I remember an incredibly focused, tight group who were going to be the next big thing in hard rock until they decided to change their music with every trend that came along and killed their fan base. I'll look at picking up some more stuff when I am down there for the rest of the family.

Good Movies / Frankenstein (2025)

The Guilliermo del Toro version, of course.

For me, this is in the 'Beautiful but boring' category. I had given up on it about halfway, and had to push myself to finish it.

If you stick to the classic story (as here is the case), the main interest lies in the interaction between Frankenstein and the creature. Yet here the creature doesn't appear for the first hour or so. What you get is an extensive (and mostly by the numbers) backstory of Victor Frankenstein, which holds very little interest, as you know where it will lead to.
Once the creature appears, and we get its perspective, things get a lot more interesting. Seeing as the movie is on Netflix, I'd say do yourself a favour and fast forward through the first part.

Visually, it is stunning. Enormous care has gone into the production design, which is magnificent. It simply takes too long to get going, but that is a complaint I have with a lot of contemporary movies.

Horror is not the genre I want to see Betty Boop in.

I believe they're doing Avengers style crossovers. Pan, Bambi, Pooh, Mickey, etc and the human survivors.

Last night around 7, I typed "Eagles - Cowboys score" into Google and was greeted with a big notice saying "Help is available" and the number of the suicide prevention line.
