Have to apologize to Nick Simson. He was having more issues than he should have with the webmentions plugin. Turns out that the Block Editor was hiding the option I kept expecting to be there. Will have to come up with a solution for that.
Does anyone do self-assessments of how they’d quarantine people they share a living space with if they got sick? Doing one of these for family members, sort of like a drill to see how easy it would be to isolate someone. So far, identified several action items.
This really drew me in. It gets increasingly menacing and suspenseful. I think this movie really succeeds in showing how frightening (dangerous even) and really uncomfortable it can be as a young woman (waitress) amongst a horde of men.
Acting was 👌. Hearing some Aussie accent was, too.
Anyhow, I'll now have a Dickin's Cider (sorry! 🫣).
Liked how this looked. Loved Mia Goth's acting, in particular her long monologue and that end scene where she makes faces for a minute or two. The plot could have been a little more focused, but overall a well-rounded, well-entertaining film.

The birthdays continue. It's Easter. Another studio visit. Beyond Tellerrand conference. A poker night. And the all the stuff in between.
I liked Anya Taylor-Joy's performance. And James McAvoy is good, too. But the movie as a whole did not grip me. I just didn't find it suspenseful. The main character is not menacing enough. And there's way too much going on, and as a result the plot suffers. A bit of an eye-roller.
I’m on a roll!
Three birthdays and a studio visit.
Such a great plot and so well executed. I assume this is a pretty low budget film, and all the more respect to make it so entertaining. Spooky, suspenseful, with great acting and some nice gory special effects.
It was late when we started this, and I didn't pay full attention the whole time. But this was still a fantastic surprise. A great story with a really creepy dude and a lot of suspense. Never seen it in a movie old movie like this. But it did remind me of Psycho. Generally this was pretty Hitchcock-like. And Hitchcock I like. And so do I like this one. Recommended!
*sigh* Argento! He has really good ideas and can certainly film those, too. But the crazy outrageous story and unbelievable dialogue still annoys me.
Here are some fresh and ice cold photos!
Ski vacation in Austria and Elfi's birthday.
Im Gegensatz zu Nicole bin ich nicht der größte „The Hirsch Effekt“-Fan. Aber dieses Buch des Sänger-Gitarristen hat mich dann doch interessiert.
Das Hörbuch ist von ihm selber gelesen, und er erzählt alle möglichen Geschichten und Anekdoten, die er mit der Band über die Jahre so erlebt hat. Fand ich sehr interessant und unterhaltsam. Und ich kann das jedem empfehlen, der auch in Bands spielt oder gespielt hat.
Ich fand gut, dass Nils an einer Stelle einfach mal so rülpst. Ja, ich bin einfach zu begeistern.
Haha. Hab den seit meinen Teenager-Tagen nicht gesehen. Und jetzt kam der im Kino, was ich mir nicht entgehen lassen konnte. Ich fand den früher definitiv besser, aber es war trotzdem ein lustiges Unterfangen. Es ist alles sehr Klischeehaft und die Gags sind vielleicht überholt, aber unterhaltsam ist es allemal. Joachim Krol, Rufus Beck und Armin Rohde sind Gold! Ich bereue nichts. ;-)
Been putting off writing about this one. I guess this could be somewhat watched as a straight crime/voyeur story. But it’s much more subtle than this. It’s also a lot about the relationships and reactions of its characters. And it certainly has its surprising twists – I totally overlooked the detail in the final scene, even though I was looking for something like this. Anyhow, it‘s a good movie and probably better on a second watch. But I‘m not sure if I will.
What!? A new journal entry!
Starting the new year in and around Düsseldorf.
