Took the boy to the cinema yesterday for the first time. Six years old, and he’s only now visited a cinema - that pandemic has a lot to answer for.
Anyway, we watched Lyle Lyle Crocodile. He thoroughly enjoyed it. I think my partner enjoyed it more than I did, but it was alright.
TVblog: DS9, and the first proper episode after the pilot. It wasn’t great. You can imagine plenty of people giving up on it there and then after watching it.
Warhermitblog: started to prep a Space Marine dreadnought for painting. Unfortunately one of the arms is stuck to the body - I need that off of it, as I want to install some magnets to make weapons-swapping a possibility. So I’ve popped it in the freezer. That should make the superglue brittle… if it is superglue they used…

Baby screenings at the cinema have been good, it's not as loud and virtually empty, little one was a few months so slept most of the time and then was happy just cuddled up for the rest of the film. Don't think any of the film went in as it was the lost city thing with an evil Harry potter.
Lyle Lyle Crocodile chat. Since I had to sit through it, you now have to put up with my thoughts on it:
The crocodile can't talk, but can sing songs that fit the context of the conversation. Why? Why not just have him talk as well?
Javier Bardem's character. Was he supposed to be a good guy? Everyone seemed to like him, despite him behaving like an immoral cunt for much of the film. Didn't make sense
Who owned the house? They kept mentioning a school owned it, but Bardem also seemed to own it, and was somehow allowed to live there even though there was a family living there. Plus Bardem seemed to give it away to some TV producer at the beginning. There was no need for that level of confusion
I get why the crocodile ate food out of bins, but why did the family? The mum was a chef, but they ate food out of bins as if it was a positive thing
Why did the dad and the crocodile wrestle? There was one comment early in the film that the dad used to wrestle when he was in school, but why did the crocodile want to wrestle him?
The kid had crippling anxiety at the start of the film, but after meeting the crocodile it completely vanished. The crocodile emitted some sort of pheromone that cures anxiety?
And finally, I can't stand films that end with an x factor style singing contest, where all of the conflict throughout the film is resolved by karaoke

Other than that it was great. 4 stars
Ummm, spoilers? Jesus Christ.
I was going to post that, you swine.
'Cause, darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream
