I don’t usually go for superhero movies (unless they are witty ones like Iron Man), but I decided to add this to my queue for reasons I can’t recall. Anyway, it definitely exceeded my expectations. I was expecting more of a “fighting crime” vibe like the old show, but it was a World War II story about defeating the Nazis (and who isn’t on board with that?).
My rating: 3.5/5
Sue Grafton…Kinsey Millhone…Same old story (but not in a bad way).
It is interesting that before authors become famous, sometimes you can find typos in their early works. I had one of the original printings of this particular book and saw one or two typos in it (as well as in the books before it). That always makes me cringe. I can only hope that these were fixed in later printings of the books.

I guess I’m done with covid. Last night, the guy and I caught a show at Peoples Natural Gas Park here in Johnstown. Blues artist Joe Louis Walker performed. It was a ripping show. We both really enjoyed it.
This limited Netflix series came from the same creator as The Haunting of Hill House and the Haunting of Bly Manor. I really enjoyed Hill House but wasn’t into Bly Manor as much. Still, Midnight Mass was generating a lot of buzz so I figured I might as well watch it. I really loved the way the show ended. Getting there gave me Catholic PTSD, but the ending was definitely worth it.
My rating: 3.5/5
I put 50 treats out this year and they were all gone by the end of the night. Not sure if one person took a bunch or if a few large groups of kids came through at the end. The Ring only picked up a few trick or treaters the last 30 minutes (and there was plenty of candy left when I checked), but the actual recordings failed, so I’ll never know. The one time you need it…
It was our first Busterless Halloween in a very long time. Things were pretty quiet. The dogs only barked once instead of the full 2 hours. I miss him.
