Your review definitely makes me want to watch though - that sounds like the kind of story I love! Adding it back to my watchlist now.<br />Hope you've had a great start to 2019, Alex.

I couldn't watch more than three episodes. I found it too disturbing. (The possessed kitty really creeped me out! And so did the whole morgue thing.) I guess if you like creepy things like that, it would be good. The house was really cool, though. It looks like a fun place to explore (if it wasn't haunted).Sherry Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07844837212122243321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-87991626548270511722019-01-11T11:37:06.864-05:002019-01-11T11:37:06.864-05:00I've never played any online games, and I prob...I've never played any online games, and I probably never will. I'm a wee bit too competitive by nature and LOVE game-playing, so I'm afraid I'd get hooked on the experience and waste entirely too much time on it. Best if I avoid them altogether.<br /><br />We don't go to all that many movies, but I did thoroughly enjoy "Black Panther." And "Book Club." (Yeah, I know, waaaay different kinds of movies.) We still haven't seen "Aquaman," but I'm still hoping to catch it.Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-36242464519042093502019-01-11T10:38:53.947-05:002019-01-11T10:38:53.947-05:00Michael, that's funny.

But the holidays are now over and I've regained some semblance of sanity.<br /><br />I missed way too many movies in the past year to even comment on your best of list; I hope to make 2019 a better year for me. And since I love ghost stories (when they're done right) maybe I'll be able to catch Hill House. I like that it sounds as if it has emotional depth to the characters, which is rare.Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14967821142796562697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-50468432776827028672019-01-10T16:09:40.115-05:002019-01-10T16:09:40.115-05:00As we prepare to record the Oscars and then edit o...As we prepare to record the Oscars and then edit out the actors and their opinions, I am hoping there will be something on the other channels.<br /><br />Didn't see A Quiet Place, but will.

It makes me think that I should play video games more, but I tend to start feeling anxious when I do, because of all the jump scares and whatnot. I'm more of a Mario kind of guy, but even Super Mario Odyssey causes me anxiety occasionally. I think I just need a friend who plays video games and would let me sit next to them and watch them play for a while. That probably works out better than me actually trying to play them.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-2699243928347073082019-01-10T12:40:37.590-05:002019-01-10T12:40:37.590-05:00Fundy, you do need to see the second Deadpool.

I haven't seen a few of those (family has been on a tight move budget with one kid in college and one turning in college applications and prepping to go), but I'm looking forward to seeing them all - for the first or second time - on video. Now that Avengers: Infinity War is on video and streaming, I think I've seen it three or four times. <br />Prepping for IWSGPit right now.
