Re: What Did You Watch? 2025-07-12 (Saturday)

Verily, in article <10512j1$2u2ru$1@dont-email.me>, did
ijball@mac.invalid deliver unto us this message:

 
Yesterday I ran errands in the morning, and then procrastinated most of
the day. And yesterday was weird - all of the main sports (Wimbledon,
Scottish Open) were on in the morning before noon, so there wasn't much
on in the afternoon.
 
Anyway, yesterday I watched:
Little Girl in the Woods (LMN) - New LMN flick filmed in the darkest,
coldest depths of Can-a-der!! (IMDb doesn't say where - I'm going to
guess it's just semi-remote Ontario, 60-90 miles outside of Toron-ter...)

Hunh, sounds okay. Those low-budget indie adventures can be a lot of
fun.

What did you watch?

I watched two movies. The first was My Little Pony: The Friendship
Trail. It was okay, but not great. The Mane Six are invited to a town
where everything is grayscale, and the residents learn to express
themselves in order to recover their colors. It's one of the ones aimed
firmly at children, so it was a little meh despite being well done.

The other was What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? Tubi suggested this after
the ponies for some reason, and I said sure. I've seen it before, but I
found it just as gripping this time as the first time. Two sisters, one
a former child vaudeville star and one a former early film star who's
now paraplegic, live together in a twisted, toxic relationship.

It is really an excellent movie if you like psychological horror, and a
good one even if you don't. With no overt gore or cheap scares, it takes
"creepy" to a new level.
