this week is a bit of a mixed bag--something old, something new!
first, something new:
i got a youtube ad for a movie called "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You"! the teaser was intriguing, and i was feeling bad for being such a nostalgia consumer (see "something old"). so i let marketing win JUST THIS ONCE, and got tix to see it with some friends!
i REALLY ENJOYED IT!! It's a psychological thriller/dramedy about a mother struggling to juggle everything in her life that keeps going wrong alone, while her husband is out of town for work. It was WAY funnier than i was expecting (there's a whole bit with a hamster that's incredible)--like, laugh-out-loud funny, too, not just like a dark chuckle. If i had one critique it would be that we don't ever really see the main character take accountability for her actions, which soured the ending for me a little bit. But it was an absolute blast other than that! It had more slapstick than i expected, had more gore/outright horror elements than i expected, and i genuinely really enjoyed it! i'm excited to see what director Mary Bronstein does next, because it was super well done! I recommend going to see it if you get a chance! :)
something old:
i have the pretty universal habit of binging old shows in the background while i work. recently, that "old show" was criminal minds, but i was feeling a little more ~* adventurous *~ than normal and decided to watch into later seasons instead of stopping when Morgan leaves. the later seasons are extremely boring tbh, but there was one episode that i cannot get off my mind and constantly reference irl.
It's an episode called Hamelin about a "Pied Piper"-type-figure in a town using ASMR to hypnotize kids to run away from home so he can kidnap them. But he's not like uploading them to youtube--he's sending the videos to the kids via encrypted email. LMAO WHAT?! It's the most "Shitty News Channel Fear Mongering Internet Rumor" shit ive EVER SEEN and its hilarious. The actors cannot pronounce ASMR. its accidental high art.
