Temporal Exhaustion
Sunny today, but chilly. Our high was 71˚F. Currently, it's 66˚F, and we are expecting a low of 46˚F.
Spooky got me a new space heater today from Target. The old one was a power hog. So, I used a space heater today for the first time since early last spring.
Didn't right, talked with Kathryn some about The Night Watchers. Did an hour and a half of prep on Winifred. The teeth on that pterygoid are slowing me down.
The afternoon's movie was J.J. Abrams Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019). Each time I revisit this film, I like it a little more, but also, paradoxically become more aware what a wreck of a film it is. It's such a bloated mess, at least half an hour than it needed to be. There's the Rose problem, which I already discussed. Basically, one wonder what happened to the course charted in the two previous films. This one seem to throw caution and continuity to the winds and goes off somewhere on it's own, muttering about...stuff. There is a lot of stuff in this film. But it isn't all bad. For example, it has the very best lightsaber battle in all nine of the films (Rey and Kylo is the sea-lashed ruins of the Death Star). And that scene between Kylo Ren and Han Solo is gold. But nothing can, ultimately save it from its own cockeyed excesses. I really loved what Abrams did in The Force Awakens. It was fresh and vibrant. This was stale and canned.
Anyway...
Do not forget the eBay auctions. Thanks.
