The Zone of Interest: Wut I Thunk Of It (Minor Spoilers)

I'd heard enough about this film to know that the less you knew going in, the better.  I was surprised to find out that the big reveal actually happens in the second scene, about five minutes in.

I feel like it paints itself into a corner, so to speak.  The first half is gripping, but then struggles to come to a satisfying conclusion beyond the fact that the father and the mother are monsters.

I'm guessing it will win the Oscar for sound design, deservedly so.

It's a film that deserves credit for taking chances, but comes to an unsatisfying conclusion.

Games People (And Cats) Play

 

Chingu and Mandu are living their best life.  Chingu, on the left, the brassier and more wild of the two, has a new game called "tip over the water dish."  It's a metal water dish designed for dogs, with a rubber ring around the bottom.

I thought cats hated water.

Anyhow, I'll root for San Francisco this weekend but I think the Chiefs could actually win by two touchdowns or more.

This is why I don't bet on sports, or anything else for that matter.
