Daddio

I had a little thought and I risked waking my husband up just to scribble it down.

“what’s going on” he says when I turn on the lights in the bedroom at 11:34pm, just twenty six minutes to midnight, I should be asleep… It is Monday in the morning after all…another new week for the hustle and bustle.

…but I sit up and I’m writing this.

Earlier in the day I had a conversation with my cousin. She wanted to know if she should see the movie I had just put up on my WhatsApp story.

Her exact words were “Is it a must watch?”

I’m going to say exactly what I told her:

“It Depends…I loved the chemistry between the characters…it wasn’t romantic but they clicked.
The conversation is top notch.
The expressions are on another level…they take you deep into their thoughts with them.
It’s just the two of them…
…No one else…
1 hour and 39 minutes.
Sean Penn and Dakota Johnson.
I love it”.

We talk a bit more and she wants to know:

“Do I need a drink for it?
Do the girls need to be sleeping to concentrate?”

She’s got two girls under ten years of age.

I tell her “You don’t necessarily need a drink… but it’s not a bad idea…and yeah, you need full focus…no distraction….some of the stuff they talk about may get you thinking about some of your own stuff and decisions”.

It sure got me thinking about my relationship with my dad…and a few other stuff…

This is more or less a review of the movie Daddio.

I’m a lover of movies with conversations…so you bet I love this one. It’s a beautifully written script.

It left me with a lot of questions though, and no answers …I guess we can’t always have the answers to our questions… life’s questions.

Cliffhangers

Tully and Kate

One thing I don’t appreciate about Television series is being left on the edge. The months or even the year I get to wait to see what happens in the next season is real torture.

For this reason I decided to put off a few popular series from my watch list until the series finale and then I binged.

I should have just done the same thing with the Netflix series ‘Firefly Lane’…but I guess Katherine Heigl was too tempting for me to avoid.

It wasn’t until I finished the ninth episode of the second season on a cliffhanger that I realised they were far from done.

Apparently there are seven more episodes of season two that are yet to be released. From what I hear, I don’t have to wait too long, release date for the final episodes of the series is set for 27th April, 2023.

Firefly lane leaves me hurting for Kate. A hurt she caused for us all because she wouldn’t stop being bitter and unforgiving. As she lay on the floor crying, my heart broke and I really wanted to give her a hug.

It’s been 4 days and my heart still aches from the pain.

I can’t tell the story, I don’t want to ruin it for those who have not and may want to see it…but I will say this; call that friend, sister, brother, father, cousin or mother… forgive…let go of that grudge.
