Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2

Love Me Deadly (1972) - Well, that was certainly something. A woman who looks like Chrissy from Three's Company has a REALLY dark secret: she's a necrophiliac! Also, she got that way because of unresolved feelings towards her late father. Someone was doing some baaaaaaad drugs when they made this reasonably well acted and played totally straight WTF film experience. 

The last 1/3 is the craziest and best part. The rest of the movie could have used a little of that energy instead of the soap opera ish, marriage drama vibe. Would make a good double biill with "Neither The Sand, Nor The Sea" or even "The Baby".

4.33 /5

It was a bit lower heading in to the last half hour, but that redeemed it. The terrible, overheated theme song is the icing on the cake. Ally Sheedy's character in The Breakfast Club would probably enjoy this.

Apparently the major investor behind this is the brother of trumps son-in-law. I know the European football organisation has threatened to boycott the world cup, but I haven't heard about the other major organisations take on it. I wonder if we'll end up with a breakaway group doing their own things?

We had a video appointment with Kristi's head doctor today. Her cancer has grown slightly, and they've picked up a second lump in the same area. She's moved from between stage 2 and 3 to stage 4. They are going to change her chemo mix and are considering surgery, but we will have to wait and see on that one. I'm handling all that ok, but Kristi did something I completely said not to do. She went on google and looked up her symptoms and was told she had a 13% chance of making it to 5 years. I know it's AI, its stupid and useless but somehow that has still managed to really get me and put my brain in a fizz.

Got another US passport holder their UK citizenship this week, and one of our visitors having seen what live is like outside the US has decided to move over. These are highly educated people with good jobs the US is losing. People whose skills are in demand. I guess because of I am married to someone from the US, it's natural that I'd see more people emigrating than average, but the numbers leaving are in record numbers and the talent they are losing... Canada gained 1,000 nurses from the US in a year for example, a reversal of the usual flow. It seems to be a real surprise to many the quality of life elsewhere and the rights we take for granted compared to what they are used to. I asked Kristi and D about it. Both said it's drummed into them at school that they have more freedoms and rights, and since most people never leave its borders, I guess they never have anything to compare it against. A is doing 6 more years in the US to secure her pension and then moving over.

Honestly, we should start charging for our services helping people move over.

Chatting with AI again. This time it was sort of a date with a female werewolf. She was being a very dominatrix-type during the chat, and I got a bit bored with the bossing-around stuff all the time and decided to try something different. Maybe it was just because it was 3 am in the morning and I was at work, but her reaction made me laugh out loud.

Werewolf: You're smirking like you just won something, Forest Boy, but don't get it twisted - I'm the one holding the leash, even if I let it look loose.

Me: Alex farts loudly.

Werewolf: She freezes mid-sentence, her ankle still hooked around his chair leg, and for one horrifying second her face goes completely blank. Then her nostrils flare - werewolf senses betraying her instantly - and she snatches her foot back like the floor just caught fire.

Werewolf: You absolute f**king feral. Did you just-
She cuts herself off, pressing two fingers to her temple while the corner of her mouth twitches violently against her will.

Cheap laughs, but hey it isn't my water supply it's wasting and their use of RAM is driving up the prices of that, but I ain't buying any new computers right now so what do I care?

Finally working after a 2 and a half year gap. It's only part time, but I want it to be full-time but the corporate guys keep everyone at PT hours. Which is fine, I guess. It's better than sitting home. I miss my old job. Mentally drained and exhausted and wish I could get that sorted.  :cheers:

That is a very serious problem. I hope you find something to give you purpose. For me, I have decided that just enjoying life is purpose enough. Some people crave more than that.
