Damn …
Did I mention I had an interview, a couple of days ago … ?
I had an interview, a couple of days ago: at a local taxi firm.
I’ve just got the email, back, today.
I’ve not got the job.
Apparently?
They’ve found someone with more experience.
Hmmm …
OK …
I’m not happy: especially considering that the dratted thing was extremely local.
Oh, well …
Onwards and upwards.
~≈Ÿ≈~
Onwards, and upwards, indeed.
Possibly.
Today … ?
Today, as you may have guessed, I’ve got the day off.
I’m writing here, for a start.
And a night off is something I usually spend in front of the TV.
I did tonight: thinking that I’d catch a movie, instead of more episodes of House of Cards.
Whether I’ve made a mistake, or not?
~≈Ÿ≈~
The film opens in a textiles warehouse: where the owner, Paul, is talking to his son, Martin, over the phone … and the last worker to clock off, Esther, has spotted something when she turns off the lights.
Meanwhile, Paul’s stepdaughter, Rebecca?
Is spending time with her boyfriend, Brad …
Only to be called by her brother’s school nurse. Martin is suffering with a lack of sleep: after his mother’s mental health issues re-surface.
It seems Sophie … has an a not-so-imaginary friend.
~≈Ÿ≈~
Now …
Good or bad?
Did I make the right decision, watching Lights Out, or should I have stuck with House of Cards.
Tough one.
I think I should have gone for House of Cards.
Which isn’t to say Lights Out is bad.
It’s nicely made, well shot, has some obvious, but effective, jump scares: and a twist ending that certainly surprised me, as it’s something I’ve not seen since watching Sonatine, many years ago.
It’s also a film that made a decision to have a quick — and not necessarily thorough — look at the mental health of one of its central character: which made it a relevant watch for World Mental Health Day.
So … ?
Yes, Lights Out is good.
I just think I should have watched more of Frank Underwood.
There we go, eh … ?
Lights Out
