  It's Wet

  Yeah, it’s wet. I’ve managed to bike to work and back every time I’ve been in the office this year, but to be fair, it’s still January. I bought mudguards though, so at least when I get home I don’t have a vertical splatter of London’s roads up my back, bag and backside. Happily, I’m counterbalancing all this exercise by eating significant amount of bread and chips.

  Glass (2019)

  Trying to pinpoint why this was unsatisfying, and I think it’s because they kind of screwed over Bruce Willis. He had spent Unbreakable coming to terms with being really really strong, finally accepting his fate that he was, in fact, a superhero. It remains probably M. Night’s best film. This one would arguably have been better without him, he didn’t change at all, other than a brief lull where he doubted his ability to be really really strong (nobody gave him a big thing to lift up). He was the same man at the end as at the beginning. There wasn’t even a growth beyond comic book framing, he still had water as a “weakness” (like the aliens in Signs, MNS must be very dehydrated). He even drowned unceremoniously in a puddle.
