Read the book, loved it. Saw the movie - not so much. And now, I've discovered the audiobook, narrated by the author, Jon Ronson himself.

There's something about his narration, his voice captures it perfectly, anxiety increasing in it's pitch, his POV, trying to humour his subjects, pretend that it's normal, you can tell he's thinking - "WTF? WHO WOULD BELIEVE ME?", meanwhile retaining enough of his composure to ask the right questions and continue down the rabbit hole.
It's an enjoyable listen while I mindlessly try and perfect the art of crystal-wrapping.

Yeah, come the end of the day I'm trying to find a decent horror movie, with absolutely no luck whatsoever. Netflix, for all it's offerings, is more about quantity than quality.
The Devil - M. Night Shyamalan, the "twists" have become predictable and boring, The Invitation, The Long Grass, The Ritual, 1BR, ... there were more, too many, more, at best - average - at worst - well, still average. Horror - I would think - with the number of contestants in the genre - should offer some intelligent diversions upon the theme, but none whatsoever.
None of these deserve watching - or, really even mention - but I watched 'em so you don't have to. Meh.

A recommendation of Dagmar's, a series of beautifully written meditations on the meaning of life. Lots of interesting sources to explore from here.
