I spent several hours yesterday afternoon and evening going through HHW.com archives researching some of my Christmas trip posts from previous years.

Quite a revelation, I must say. Whatever happened to me, anyway? I used to do stuff and report it here.

Ron, I always enjoyed your stories from your Christmas trips home.

Speaking for myself, I know that Covid diminished my desire to get out and about. It isn't even about getting sick, I just don't want to be around a lot of people.

Hi, John G.

Here's a question for you: I saw KNIVES OUT, found it so-so, and don't remember much of it. Do I need to rewatch it to watch THE GLASS ONION?

I also head this piece on the radio, Alfred Reed’s Russian Christmas Songs. Quite lovely.

Someone else will have to answer. I haven’t seen it yet.

I agree about not wanting to be around people.

Maybe Sing or BK or Ron can answer my question tomorrow.

Jeanne · « **Reply #247 on:** December 23, 2022, 09:31:28 PM »

good night.

Finished with my viewing. No, not as good as Knives Out in any way. And it's twenty minutes too long at two hours and fifteen minutes. Yes, I'm going to say the same about Kate Hudson - totally channeling mom. Norton is fine, Craig is fine, but the others are just average, with the exception of Janelle Monae, who simply walks away with the film. To show you just how stupid Netflix is, they paid 469 MILLION for two sequels. Sorry, folks, that kind of stupidity will put them in the toilet and leave them there.

It's too convoluted for its own good, and then just gets silly at the end in its desire to turn into a big effects-laden thing. It's clear Rian Johnson wants an Agatha Christie feel for these, but he's not Agatha Christie. He also clearly loves The Last of Sheila.

Slicing, dicing, mincing, and chopping is done.

A lull?

Is that what we're having?

Love the brace, John.

I didn’t really enjoy KNIVES OUT, maybe I need to watch it again. I haven’t finished the GLASS ONION yet but so far I’m really enjoying it.

TCB · « **Reply #257 on:** December 23, 2022, 11:43:26 PM »

I should’ve figured I’d be the only one here that enjoyed it.

TCB · « **Reply #258 on:** December 23, 2022, 11:45:58 PM »

I didn’t leave the house today. The ice outside look bad enough I didn’t want to risk it.

TCB · « **Reply #259 on:** December 23, 2022, 11:46:29 PM »

They save it by tomorrow afternoon all of the ice should be gone. Not that I’m going anywhere.

I hope George is having a safe drive home from the theater tonight. And I hope he didn’t stop somewhere and have dinner again or a snack on his way home.

Hi, Tom.

No, pug's husband Marko and I stayed late after the show so that I could write a reimbursement check (from TAO) for material that was purchased for the show.

And now, since I'M so close...

TCB · « **Reply #267 on:** December 23, 2022, 11:52:35 PM »

I sure could use a bowl of BK’s tuna pasta salad!

You keep going like that, George, and you’ll pass Jane pretty soon.
