As soon as I saw this, I knew this would be a good film. I have watched many of the YouTube video’s of Iliza Shlesinger and had watched one where she had told this story.
The film did bring it to life more. In the original video, she had brought across the angst of her relationship with this man very well. This film adds to it, for it is not just about how she gave herself to a man (who proved himself to be a turd), but it is also about friendship.
After the last film I watched, this was great. I loved it, though I am not sure how much it will appeal to those who are not her fans, or those of Margaret Cho.
Okay, I did not think that Jeremy Corbyn was the best Labour leader. He, the party and the nation were let down by too many who supported him but did not listen to his call for Kinder Gentler Politics.
One of the many good things that he did was to use human examples when it came to Prime Minister’s Questions. Today, Keir Starmer asked questions about Matt Hancock. Basically I follow social distancing at work and I have to complete declarations of interest forms. I have not worked on an issue with Carpal Tunnel treatment services as a colleague in my other job provides them, unlike Gina Coladangelo, hired to a post paid by the tax payer where he had to scrutinise him.
The Prime Minister refused to answer them, even the one about Ollie Bibby. Working in healthcare, I understand why the hospital followed the rules it did. But the family and hospital obeyed them. Matt Hancock did not, and initially, this was deemed resolved by the Prime Minister who later took credit for the resignation of the man he said did not need to.
We will find out if the mantra of answering difficult questions by talking about the vaccine roll out works in the Batley and Spen by-election tomorrow.
I never thought I would be happy beating Germany as I was in 2001 when we beat them by five goals to one. Initially when it came to this tie, thought that we were doomed, but then I remembered to believe.
Of course, I am concerned about the next tie, especially as favourites in matches have lost so many games, but we have yet to concede a goal and our strike force may be back on form.
The call in the USA by many is for assault weapons to be banned. Those who are against it cite the second amendment to the US constitution which allows the right to bear arms. But this was made in a time when a well trained person would take almost a minute to shoot three times.
I have discussed this with my wife, and she is of the view that nothing will change in the USA. And to be fair, she may be right. Despite the murder of many young children in Sandy Hook, assault weapons are still legal, and this is probably due to the campaign contributions made by organisations like the NRA to protect the right of Americans to have assault rifles, though this has meant the continued murder of children in schools. Something that does not happen anywhere near as often outside the USA.
There is an argument for firearms to be used to defend schools in the USA, but they forget how Scot Peterson was the "Good Guy with a Gun" at the Parkland mass shooting affecting the Stoneman Douglas High School.
Others point to mental health being an issue, not guns, but we have mental health issues in the UK and other nations without mass shootings. Also the party in the US associated with fighting against Gun Controls, has also worked to limit access to healthcare.
Yesterday my wife started to paint our new garden structure. The children and I helped, but I had got back very late from work on Friday night so needed to get some sleep especially as we were to meet with Isobel and Tony for a meal inside a restaurant.
Yes, COVID numbers are increasing, and one of our members of staff has caught it despite being double vaccinated, but it was nice to meet face to face. At the moment, I consider the nation in a window where things may get worse but we can still meet in relative safety until then. So meeting up was great and much appreciated. It was great to see them, and we plan on trips out to see others, but have yet to make those plans!
My wife today continued to pain our new outhouse while I was working from home. Later, I finished watching this film, 2021 War of the Worlds, known abroad as Alien Conquest. It was awful. Without doubt, the worst film that I have watched this year, this including Left Behind, which I had watched earlier in the year. A good thing about this film was that it had appropriate music to accompany the film, but that did not make for a terrible plot and awful acting. The other good thing about the film is that it makes you appreciate other films and the talent that others have when it comes to acting and writing scripts.
There are arguments that Matt Hancock does not need to resign over his affair with Gina Coladangelo. His actions were a betrayal of the trust his wife placed in him, but his affair is a personal matter.
My wife and I escaped for a day to shop. Normally, this would be my idea of hell, but we have had so little time together alone, that this was paradise. My daughter had gone for a sleep over at a friends yesterday so my son had to look after Leia. It was an uneventful drive there, other than a fire on the opposite carriageway on the M40, though this had all been sorted out for our relaxing drive back.
It was strange to shop and I actually found it hard to be in the fresh air with my mask on as when in the village, shoppers are asked to wear masks (though not everyone did once they got through the entrance).
I actually would love to return with my wife again, so long as it was just the two of us.
