My first film of spooky season: The Woman (2011)

My first film of spooky season: The Woman (2011)

I have so many on my wishlist built up that this feels like a good way to find some new gems. Available on Prime via Shudder.

The plot features lawyer and 'family man' Chris, finding what appears to be a 'wild woman' out on onenof his hunting ventures. He decides to bring her home and attempt to civilise her, with the help of his family.

However, this family is completely dysfunctional and as the story progresses, you see, as the tagline says, that 'not every monster lives in the wild'.

I really enjoyed this one. I had no idea what to expect going in. Some damn good gory scenes but not too many. The acting was pretty fuckin solid. I got super uncomfortable during even scenes with just the family. Some scenes were really clever in showing the family dynamic.

The music is it's letdown. Really weird, like the director's band decided to play really cheesy, on the nose music almost all the way through to save on budget. Real hit and miss.

I'd definitely recommend it though. There are definitely some uncomfortable of SA, but they aren't overtly explicit as some others of this kinda film.

What's the most interesting thing to happen in a league you aren't involved in?

I've been playing in Italy for the past 20 odd seasons, currently in 40/41 season and all my loanees come back off damn good seasons out. I notice one of them has scored 22 for goals for Ross County in Scotland. So they must have done well in the league?

Did they ever! 3 loan signings scored 50+ goals between them to give Ross County their first ever Premiership win, ending 12 years of Celtic domination. Hopefully he does those same numbers for me!

In the same year though, Monaco won the league, with PSG in 5th. Athletic Bilbao pipped Barcelona to the title on goal difference, and Southampton won the premier league! Never seen so many outside winners before in one year.

So what's the most interesting thing happen in a league you don't play in? Did a loanee influence an outside team to an unsuspected promotion/title win? Did a random country you'd never seen qualify for the champs league?

AI photos of food just make them all look the same

It seems JustEat now allow AI generated photos of food to be used on the app. They kindly let you know that the photos used to entice you are fake, which is nice. Almost every takeaway near me now thinks it has to show me fake food to get me interested in a greasy fucking burger. It doesn't work.

Biggest club to go down?

Managing in Serie A with Monza, and in 2034/35 we see the fall of Roma, as they get knocked into Serie B. They had sacked 3 managers and we even veat them 5-1 at their ground, causing one to get sacked. Also Lazio selling 113mil worth of players, using just their youth system for a season was crazy, never seen that before.

What's the biggest club you've witnessed go down and how long did it take?

I can't cope with the screaming anymore.

Hi there, I'm typing this at 4am crying, because my cat has, once again, woken me up demanding attention. Not with cutesy pats or running around playing. No, it's by screaming in the corridor. 5Y/O neutered male.

How do i know it's attention and not anything else? Because since I've had him he's always been like this. He never used to wake me up, normally it's the moment i wake up, it begins. It's like he doesn't even breathe, just meows. And they have levels. From a seemingly normal, constant meows, to elongated ones when i have his food, to a fucking horrible yowl when he doesn't get what he wants, which is either to be touching me, or playtime. He is heavily play motivated and we can play for hours, but he cannot and will not play by himself. I have to be involved, otherwise it's back to screaming, even when he's next to me.

Health wise he's fine. Vets say no issue, ironically one of the only time's he's quiet! I however, cannot hear myself even think at times. God forbid i close a door. He will make himself louder than anything I'm listening to. If I'm eating, he goes into the corridor and screams. It sounds like hell and it's gone way beyond cute or quirky, it's actual nails on a chalkboard to me currently.

Feliway doesn't work. Playing only works until you stop. He doesn't hive a shit about food. He just wants me. And you might be thinking 'awh that's really cute, you shouldn't be freaking about that' i assure after 5 years, it's become vocal chinese water torture.

I love this boy, i really do. He saved me from a horrible state of mentality, but I'm at my wits end. I'm not sure what there is possible to stop a cat who just doesn't want to be quiet. I don't ever want to consider rehoming him, but I'm getting resentful because my focus is shot, my tiredness is at it's peak, my MH is now being effected negatively by the one little guy who helped it. I just don't feel like I'm enough anymore 😭

One swear word can get you banned

It's discussing horror films, pretty sure swear words come with the territory.

Useless company.

I've been waiting 2 days for something as simple as a book to be delivered to a locker. 2 days it's been out for delivery, then back to the depot. How hard is it to drop it at a locker that YOU suggested? How on earth do people use this dreg of a company when they have so many logistical problems? Customer service said they would contact me by 11am, heard nothing. Useless
