Amazingly snow is forecast for Monday, followed by four days of heavy rain. Ah, it must be a bank holiday! LOL
I'm working on a short story about Nazis and werewolves, it's currently kicking my ass. Trying to get on top of it, but I've been feeling a little discouraged by my writing recently. It's the lack of a sale if I'm being honest, and also I'm missing my writing group/community, it's making me feel a bit disconnected. I should really try that alternative group I've found but been too shy to join properly...
Meanwhile I've taken a break from playing The Last of Us on a borrowed PS4 (borrowed solely so I could play that game and its sequel) because I'm distracted by the superb Spider-man game that came out on the PS4 in 2018. It's delightful, reminiscent of the Arkham Asylum Batman games, with challenges and collectables. Also, it's just gosh darned fun to websling through a city and thwipp bad guys with web shooters.
I've been doing what I normally do in the run up to the Oscars, trying to watch as many of the nominated films as I can (or at least the ones that sound interesting)... seen some good ones so far.
MANK is a great black and white film about the writer of Citizen Kane, it's that kind of story that Hollywood loves so much, about the faded glamour of a bygone era etc etc starring Gary Oldman and Amanda Seyfried.
PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN was astonishing, a revenge thriller starring Carey Mulligan, it's this year's Gone Girl. Less spoiled the better.
TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO 7 was a lot of fun, it's an Aaron Sorkin flick about a trial against some Vietnam war protestors, cracking script and some great performances.
THE ASSISTANT, MINARI and NEWS OF THE WORLD were also watched but I have nothing to say about them.
These things make a post. This is the way.
