ashelterofpagesThings I've watched over the past couple of months:
Movies:
Fire Walk With Me:
I saw Twin Peaks years and years ago and enjoyed it, but I never saw this. Lynch is so delightfully odd and I had a great time with this. It makes me want to watch the show again, but I need to see where I can get it/if I have easy access to do so. If I'm lucky, that'll be the next TV show I watch.
Burnt Offerings:
I love terrible house movies. These can be haunted houses, but also houses that are alive and out to kill you. This movie is more of the latter and yes, it made me smile a whole bunch. A little long, but when I broke it up into two sittings, it wasn't bad to get through at all. Plus, this started my Burgess Meredith double feature.
Torture Garden:
After I watched Burnt Offerings, I watched this. It was on the recommendation of someone I know and when I tell you I found this so utterly delightful, I clapped by the end, I'm not exaggerating. It's an anthology horror that wasn't bad, but the ending? The ending made me so fucking happy. I love anthology stories in general and this one was charming and happymaking.
The Monster:
This was a little sentimental for my taste. I think if I had an easier time seeing the monster itself, I'd have had more fun with it. And it's not that I don't like emotional horror either, but this one just didn't hit the way I think it was intending to.
TV:
Interview With The Vampire S1:
Y'all, I knew I was going to love this show, but I didn't know I was going to love it enough to watch the first season in a single day. I had such a good time with this, and I was giving my partner excited commentary the whole time. It was marvelous and the only reason I didn't binge S2 yesterday is because I wound up hurting my foot pretty badly and couldn't concentrate.
(Hopefully I'll do S2 before the end of the weekend)
Anyway, besides that I'm here to report that I think my current meds change is doing really well for me. I'm getting normal stuff done, as well as writing related things, which is great, and even things like doing DW stuff and other bits of social media I keep meaning to try and check in on. It's kind of great.
I have some tarot related stuff to do over the next little wile because of 3WFDW, but I'll be doing them piecemeal while I let my foot heal up. Sadly, being in pain messes with everything else, so having brain to do things is hard.
(I hurt my foot in such a silly way. I was coming out of the shower and smacked it into a box while I was trying not to trip on something. I didn't know I'd really hurt it at first, but by the evening, I was really struggling to walk, so I had to call someone to help me do things like bring in groceries. I'm now at my normal house because moving is Very COmplicated right now.)
