Poor Things
Dec. 28th, 2023 03:25 amWe went to see Poor Things tonight, and wow, is that a batshit-crazy movie. (But we still liked it. We liked it kind of a lot, in fact.) It doesn't really seem to have gotten a lot of publicity unless you're somebody who looks at the award nominations. I do usually look at those, but I'm not sure if that's where I got the idea that it was something we might want to see. Actually I think I saw somewhere that it was a sort of a Lady-Frankenstein plot (with Emma Stone in that role) - which I knew would appeal to Rob - and also Willem Dafoe is in it and he's always fun. One thing you should know if you're going to see it is that it's definitely an R-rated movie - not one to take the kids to. It's a HARD R. There's nudity and a hella lot of simulated sex, and it's pretty violent off and on as well. (Genre-wise, Rob and I agreed that we'd call it sort of a horror-comedy, although it's hard to pin down. It's not at all scary.)
So, I have to work the next two days, which I'm not super-happy about, but it's a short shift (like, 5 hours) so I can't complain too much. And we have to go car shopping at some point - I'm getting a new (used) car, finally! I don't know that I've mentioned this but Rob and I have been ride-sharing for several months, because my poor Toyota has 178,000 miles on it and I finally got where I was afraid to drive it around by myself at night - and since we work the evening shift that's kind of a deal-breaker. The ride-sharing worked well enough that we haven't had serious problems with it, but sooner or later there's going to be a point when we must be at different places at the same time, so car-shopping it is. We went to the credit union Tuesday and got a pre-approval so we're all set, we just have to decide on a car.
