turpsI've been on a flist catch up and it's been a very happy one with the no tags news and The Umbrella Academy trailer and Gerard's Hazy Shade of Winter song. I'm not linking as I suspect every one interested will have seen by now. But, happiness!
We went to see Glass yesterday. I haven't seen either of the two films that came previous to it, but it was entertaining enough. We had planned to go the day before but my MiL is ill again. With cellulitis, this time, which she knew was coming on days previously, said her leg was hurting but insisted she was fine until she couldn't actually stand up and agreed to call the doctor while packing up her stuff as she was sure she was going to end up in hospital again. Which she didn't, but why leave it that late? I really don't get it. Also, her GP is an idiot. We spent the afternoon at hers waiting for the GP to phone, when he did he prescribed antibiotics and said he may visit but may not as it's so hard to get parking outside her house. In the end he did turn up and was in all of a minute or so, and while there said she shouldn't run her electric heater as it's bad for her leg. And the damp is bad for her chest. Idiot.
We also saw Corey yesterday as he had a letter that needed dropping off. We chatted for a while and he seems so much happier than he was at the end of last year. Sleeping better and just better in general.
I'm going to Kayleigh's to meet her new girlfriend tomorrow. She told me she was dating again last week, and I'm happy for her as she said for the first time in months she wanted to smile again. But, I still feel bad about Shauna who still talks to me via FM messenger and is still heartbroken and doesn't know Kay is dating someone else. Plus, Kay actually said she wanted us to meet and gah, someone new and important in my sister's life. I need to make a good impression. Yikes.
At my latest trip to Company they were selling off live vac-packed oysters in the corner of wonder. Seriously, that corner is amazing, all the random oddments that end up marked way down as no one knows what to do with them I suspect. They were only £2 but I have no idea what to do with oysters. I've never tried them, have no desire to try them and don't understand how they can be alive.
However, the pre-cooked potatoes I bought were portioned up, frozen, and make excellent mash when defrosted, mashed and seasoned. So potatoes, yes. Vac-packed oysters, no.

Date: 2019-01-26 05:44 pm (UTC)I wonder if your hatred of Glass is tied to knowing the previous movies? Like I said I didn't know anything about the other two so watched and found it so-so. Nothing really good but nothing really bad either. Just a bit of entertainment that lasted an hour or so and will be forgotten in days.
I like your movie comments btw. I appreciate someone with firm opinions.
Your MiL's GP is a total idiot. What kind of doctor would say they can't visit a patient because the parking's shitty? >:(
I know! I couldn't believe it when I heard what he'd said. I know GPs are busy, but parking and walking a minute isn't a big deal.
♥ Thank you. I've met the new girlfriend and she was lovely and had a good talk to Kayleigh about Shauna and how she's been messaging still. She's fine with it, they really did just fall apart instead of anything bad so hopefully, they can be one of those people who can be friends after a relationship. And if they can't, well, they tried. You can't do more than that.
Only one person in comments has said they like oysters, which is just strengthening my nope! reaction.

Date: 2019-01-26 06:01 pm (UTC)So I wasn't super invested with Glass. And yet, I was hoping for a good story. However, there are so many things that made me go WHY about the plot (and the plot holes, omg, so many plotholes). Also, also, I resented that, for a movie called Glass that hinted at it being about Mr. Glass, he didn't show up until almost an hour into the film?
I think M. Night was trying to do a subversion of the superhero genre which is all good and fine. Different/opposing opinions about art are necessary so that the art (or genre, in this case) doesn't stagnate.
HOWEVUH, his criticism was about 10 years too late, imo? I also resented a lot the not-so-subtle attempt at gaslighting via the doctor trying to convince the three leads as well as the audience that superheroes didn't exist in that 'verse.
I was like "HELLO, LADY, THERE HAVE BEEN 2 FEATURE-LENGTH MOVIES THAT GO IN ABT SUPERPOWERED PPL!!!"
FTR, this is the current Worst Movie of 2019 (so far), LOL.
Oh, it's a good thing that you talked to Kayleigh about Shauna because it's one of those situations where it's better to keep everyone in the loop.
