So with my my wife is on a business trip to Singapore and the kids at a sleepover, I've done what I always do, work on something until it's almost too late to do anything else. So naturally I go to bed, right? Nope, after working for hours on my website I decided to grab marshmallows, salt & vinegar Pringles and heat up some popcorn 🍿 Yes, I decided that because it's Friday night I will enjoy myself. So what do I pick to watch until 4am I hear you ask? Well, I watched Tenent by Christopher Nolan on Amazon Prime.
It's a mind bending two and a half hour highly complicated and quite mumbly movie. I won't spoil it. But it was way too thinky and I'm not too sure it was as clever as it was trying to come across. I seem to find this a lot with films. They try to muddy the plot with people talking too quickly and quick cut shots to give you the impression it's highbrow. You think, 'I have no idea what the hell is happening, so it must be clever.' Perhaps Tenent is highbrow and the mumbling and overly difficult to follow plot was a fun way to spend two and a half hours. But I definitely didn't enjoy it. Admittedly, I seem to have this problem with all of Christopher Nolan's films. I think I'm broken or something 😂
So after the "excitement" of Tenent I moved on to Netflix and watched Devil in Ohio.
I enjoyed this because the main girl (Madeleine Arthur) is from a H.P Lovecraft film called 'Color out of Space.' It's a great film if you like horror that makes your skin crawl. I love it! Devil in Ohio a great concept about a child leaving a evil cult (again I'm not going to spoil it) and moving in with a family ill-prepared for the trouble she brings with her. This program is the main reason I'm writing so late ⏰
I've managed to watch 4 episodes and had to force myself to go to bed. But I'm looking forward to binge watching this one and would love to read the book at some point as I feel the T.V show is dragging it out into an 8hr movie 🎥 It has great bits in it, but also the show is slowed down by uninteresting side dramas. But I'll give my full opinion when I've watched the whole thing. Until then it's a very late, good night 😴
