beansideIt's Sunday, and happy Easter to those who celebrate.
And as per tradition, in honor of easter, The 1969 Easter Mass Incident
I have no real plans, aside from some possible baking. I may make a few cookies. The movie ran late yesterday, so I decided to make the tacos today, so I'll be heating that oil up and making fry bread. Hopefully it turns out well. I'm going to make enough that we can have some for breakfast with honey and cinnamon, too. Aside from that, we may go through a couple of boxes of clothes that haven't gotten unpacked and see if there's anything we can use for the hotter months.
At some point, I have to drive my sister to the inlaws for the Greek easter feast, but that's about it for me. Tonight, Jess has a game. I already played it, since the DM ran it twice on account of having a lot of people who wanted to play. I will make sure they have plenty of cookies for game snacks.
Yesterday was a lot of fun. We were able to go to the movies, and got to see Sinners. If you get a chance, go. It was freaking amazing. The beginning half is more drama than horror, but it was engrossing, and beautifully shot. Michael B. Jordan was stellar at playing the twins who have come back from Chicago to Mississippi to open their own juke joint.
Once the movie kicks into gear, there's a scene when the joint really kicks into gear that is kind of beautiful and moving. Once the vampires show up, the shit hits the fan. The vampires were creepy and subtly wrong. Props to the lead trio of vampires for making me physically recoil into my seat. The lead vampire, played by Jack O'Connell was really cool, and had actual menace, especially in the final battle. Other standouts were Miles Caton and Hailee Steinfeld, but really, there wasn't a single person who dropped the ball. Everyone understood the assignment and went hard.
The subtle (and not so subtle) racism of Jim Crow was every present in the movie, lending peril, and indeed a certain joy to the proceedings. In this night of music and community, even a humble sharecropper could be free.
The first ending is fitting, but not as good as the rest of the movie, but there's a cut scene that is just perfect and a little bit moving.
As I said, I really enjoyed it a lot, and they snagged me early and kept me along for the whole ride.
After that, we came home and cooked, had dinner and game and then crashed out hard.
And now, I believe I will go forth and grab a shower and get myself in gear. The frybread isn't going to make itself. Everyone have an amazing Sunday!
