Just finished watching Hold Your Breath, on Hulu.  Had to walk away, more than a few times.  Really difficult to watch, Hops.

Hopalong:
I checked reviews and not for me, though I appreciate the scene setting in land much like my mother grew up in (and survived) in the mid 1920s. Those storms.

It's odd how I have a great appetite for complex international thrillers like Bourne, Ludlum, LeCarre, etc, and violence at least nominally in service of justice scratches some itch in me.

But I won't turn one eyeball to films about horror and/or the supernatural. A couple reviews of Breath referred to how much anxiety it produces in viewers and I figured, the world is a horror already in many ways, I think I won't try to absorb more. The headlines are my daily dose of that.

Adolescence was believable, present time, and though sad, valuable. Amazing performances, especially the dad.

But to each their own. You wouldn't believe how much crap I watch these days. Even true crime, which can be horror too, but I guess because those docs normally end in the bad guy being caught, I can pretend there's justice.

What started me....oh, the geezer in the coffee shop. I get it. Entitlement, a lifetime of it likely.
