We met my sister and her husband for dinner (BBQ - which is the best food to be had in my hometown that I know of) and then went over to their house and watched Knives Out. I think that all four of us had seen it before but it came out three years ago and we never re-watched it so I think we all enjoyed it. I did, for sure. I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it but I remembered some of the plot but not all. The plan is that we will watch the new one, Glass Onion (which has no characters in common but the one played by Daniel Craig, as I understand it) on Christmas Day. Netflix is weird sometimes - they put it in theaters for a week, possibly to make it eligible for award nominations? I don't know - but then they pulled it and it will be out on Netflix shortly before Christmas. That's an odd decision, to my mind, but whatever.
Rob and I watched Willow - meaning the two existing episodes of the new series - last night. I had seen it once, earlier in the week, but he hadn't. And it actually grew on me the second time. Hopefully the producers found their footing doing these early episodes and it will be a bit more consistent after this. I read a review that said, effectively, "If you were fond of Willow the movie as a child, you will like this series." (I was in my 20s by the time it came out, but I was fond of it just the same, so I imagine I count in that number, more or less.)
And then we watched the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, which was unexpectedly sort of charming. I won't spoil it, because some of you probably haven't seen it and are still interested, like we were. I mean, when I say "charming" I mean charming in a Guardians kind of way - but by Guardians standards it was relatively toned-down. I don't think I would let small kids watch it unless their parents had vetted it first. (I don't have kids, I'm not tuned in to thinking about what's appropriate for kids. I would be liable to miss something that's a deal-breaker for other people.)
Rob intended to go see Violent Night, the David Harbour/John Leguizamo thing, last night but was foiled by two, two! Christmas parades between here and the movie theater. We had planned ahead on how to get around one, but not the second one. I had bowed out of going because I saw the trailer and thought it seemed too violent for my taste. He said he was not in any particular hurry to see it in any case.
