I wanted to watch Contagion last night but my husband thought it hit too close to home. We settled on Snowpiercer, Bong Joon-ho 's crazy climate change/end of the world/ class struggle film. Several of Parasite's stars are in it, as well as Chris Evans, Tilda Swinton, Jamie Bell, Octavia Spencer and John Hurt. I mean, Tilda Swinton - what's not to like?! It's fantastical, weird and gripping. I loved it when I bought it years ago, but my husband didn't; he agreed last night due to being very sick. I am also very sick, but unweakened in my opinions. Parasite is the greater film, but this one is crazy and fun and has an amazing last scene.
Other than sitting like zombies in front of the TV, we slept ate and read. I'm reading mysteries - not the ones I wanted to get, because when I went to my bookstore seven houses away, a video crew was filming an interview with the owner, and I could only get to the new releases, when I actually had to authors I was looking for. Oh, well, next time. Evidently, the directors thought the bookstore was representative of the craziness of my fair city, and maybe they're right. It's a warren of books on the floor, gifts for those who want to be buy something useless for their friends, like miniature vampires or chucky dolls, blow up dragons, and ancient posters of cult books. He has everything, the trick is to find it.
Excuse me while I cough my way to my book.
