I've blown my one resolution already: I am not going to get a movie review up here before the end of the month. Sometimes life gets in the way. Sometimes you're lazy and just want to turn your brain off to watch a bunch of Supernatural episodes.
I have watched Maniac but I truly have nothing coherent to say. I just didn't get it. I tried, I really did. I like weird, trippy shows (Dirk Gently, Legion, to name a couple recent ones) but I just didn't understand Maniac. I liked the way it looked, I loved Sally Field and Emma Stone. I just didn't know WTF was going on more often than not. I don't even think it really mattered that I fell asleep a couple of times either.
Mr. Mouse and I, having just blown through all eleven seasons of Cheers [full disclosure: I prefer Rebecca to Diane by a long shot], were searching for something else that we both might like. Seeing how we've watched all available/streaming The Good Place and Better Call Saul episodes, and Brooklyn 99 is not on Netflix (I can't stomach paying for more streaming services lest I start paying as much as when we had cable), we've started Schitt's Creek. It's funny. I find Catherine O'Hara a bit grating here but I really like the younger actors - the David and Stevie relationship, at least so far as we've gotten, which is halfway through S1, is tons of fun.
So that's where we stand. Now shooting for a new movie review in February. Wish me luck.
