Finally got to finish "Miss You Already" last night with my wife. God damn that ending. All I could think about at the end was how peaceful she looked after she died and was no longer in pain. Made me think about my brothers wife and the wife of one of my friends, both of whom died from cancer last spring within two weeks of each other. Both my brother and friend said they were happy their wives died, because it meant they were no longer in pain. Also made me think about how much pain my own wife is in - and has been for a year plus - and how much I would give to see her pain free, but also what that would mean for me and my son.

So yeah, I had a tough time finishing that movie.

Also, is this normal?
Miss You Already opened theatrically in the United States on 6 November 2015 in 384 venues and earned $552,506 in its opening weekend. The film ended its run 17 days later on November 22, with a gross of $1,162,653.[13]
Also watched "The Girl With All the Gifts". Almost better than the book, but since I hated the book that's not saying much. I have been hearing a lot of buzz about it saying it's a good zombie movie. It's not a good zombie movie. Though I'm glad they fixed the ending, the book went on far too long. Also kind of glad they didn't try to explain the zombies like the book did because man that was a shit bit of science. Basically suddenly going, "SCIENCE WORDS. I CAN TALK BIG SCIENCE BECAUSE I KNOW YOU, THE CHARACTER, ARE SMART. I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE READER THOUGH. FUCK THEM." The whole book was just a bunch of archetypes running around the English countryside/London anyway.

Funnily enough both movies had Paddy Considine in them.

It's fun and has a great '80s mall atmosphere. I enjoyed it.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I liked it, actually. It's refreshing to see a carefully constructed and classically directed movie for a change, especially after an incompetent disaster like Skull Island.

Hmm...
Watching it actually made me wish Zemeckis had made Skull Island. He has the classicist knack that movie needed.

I love Radio Days. The only Allen movie I love more is Hannah and Her Sisters.

Skull Island would have been way better had they gone with the original concept: Spine Isthmus.
