My Week in Movies: November 8 - 14
Nov. 16th, 2020 10:41 amStill adjusting to the new daily schedule, but I think I have it worked out.
I bought Assassin's Creed: Valhalla against my better judgment and was immediately punished for it. The game doesn't work properly. I have some sort of bug that only affects me where the stealth button just doesn't work 97% of the time. In a stealth game, that's a big problem. So now I'm just waiting for a patch that fixes an issue that I haven't seen anyone else report. Yes, I checked if it was the controller and it's not. So I'm back to replaying Odyssey.
Had a tooth extracted Thursday. Whee.
Movies I've seen before are in italics
Blood and Roses (1960)
Der Zinker (1963)
The Puzzle of the Red Orchid (1962)
The Inn on the River (1962)
The Door with 7 Locks (1962)
Bay of Blood (1971)
Friday the 13th (1980)
Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981)
Friday the 13th Part III (1982)
Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984)
Friday the 13th: A New Beginning (1985)
Since I now have a region-free DVD player, I've been working through my Region 2 DVDs, which include Roger Vadim's Blood and Roses (striking imagery, but kind of plodding) and a box set of West German crime films based on the works of Edgar Wallace.
In preparation for Friday the 13th, I showed![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
sol_se Bay of Blood, a precursor to the American slasher genre. Good bloody fun.
On Saturday the 14th, we watched the first five Friday the 13th movies. They are not good, but they scratch a certain itch.
