23rd August, 2018.
You know …
I woke up this morning, with the intention of watching a movie.
Made point of mentioning it on today’s Teaser, even.
Thinking Fiddler on the Roof would be a good one to see: I’ve never seen it.
But, after finishing dinner, teasers and laundry?
But felt three hours of musical was maybe a bit much …
So … ?
Money being tight, I let my finger browse through my back catalogue.
I felt there’d be something in the collection that would … you know …
Appeal …
As it turned out, there was.
Nice film …
But about James McAvoy …
~≈§≈~
She, Claire and Marcia (Haley Lu Richardson and Jessica Sula) are kidnapped by a man calling himself Dennis (James McAvoy.)
A man who managed to kidnapped the girls: and keep them imprisoned.
And who, it seems, has many names …
And distinct personalities.
Twenty-four of them, to be precise …
~≈§≈~
Now … good … ?
Hmmm …
I really couldn’t tell you.
I’ve — beyond Sixth Sense — not seen enough of Shyamalan’s to tell you how representative of it Split
is.
Personally?
I found it … if not good, then certainly unnerving: with a sound track that was disconcertingly creepy, a use of close-ups that will tell you how scared Taylor-Joy’s character is.
And, in James McAvoy’s performance, should me the most frightening portrayal of madness since Hopkin’s in Silence of the Lambs.
I can’t help but tell you to watch Split.
Split.

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
