Today should've been preparation for tomorrow's interview, but I'm always getting sidetracked by something. It took us three days, but we finally got past the Gatekeeper in the hard raid. Now we just have to beat the final boss.
When I woke up, I looked up the scoreboard for the NFL. Saints lose by one point. This season's a lost cause. At least I'm winning in fantasy.
I watched You're Next on Netflix. It's apparently part of a new wave of indie horror dubbed "mumblegore." I'm not impressed. It's lacking the energy that characterized the previous generation of horror filmmakers, which includes trailblazers like Peter Jackson and Sam Raimi. Their work is classic. This stuff? Just feels like low-rent wannabe high concept.
You're Next is actually pretty good in terms of suspense, but the twist does not redeem a bad intro or the fizzing out in the final act. It's one of those movies that, when you think about it, is fundamentally flawed at the premise. It's a shame since the moment-to-moment suspense is good. If it had a stronger plot, I wouldn't be so annoyed.
