Cocaine Princess here.
We're into Day 8 of the New Year and I trust everyone has fully recovered from the holiday season in particular New Year's Eve. For me I found Advil and Red Bull worked quite nicely in my recovery.
Last weekend sister & I went to see Quentin Tarantino's latest film, "The Hateful Eight."
The plot: The story takes place in post Civil War Wyoming. A bounty hunter, known as The Hangman (Kurt Russell) and his prisoner, Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh) encounter another bounty hunter, Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson) who claims to be a sheriff. Seeking shelter from the blizzard they stop at a rest-stop cabin and are greeted by other strangers. As the storm overtakes the mountainside the eight strangers realize they may not make it out alive as one of them is poisoned asking the question, "whodunnit?"
The mystery-western film was 3 hours long and consisted of 5 chapters with a backstory for each of the 8 strangers. My thoughts on the film? I really can't say because I fell asleep during Chapter 3 & 4 and woke up midway through Chapter 5. Can you believe that?! And it wasn't because I thought the movie was boring, if anything I was quite interested in the story-line. The last thing I remember is my eyelids began feeling quite heavy just around the time The Hangman agreed to let Major Marquis ride with him and his prisoner on the stagecoach.
Honestly I don't know who I'm more angry at-- sister for not waking me up or the Sandman putting me to sleep? My God-- of all the stupid places and times for him to put me to sleep it's at the movies! I questioned sister as to why she didn't wake me. Her whispered reply, "I didn't want to disturb you. It's the most amount of sleep you've had all week." What's worse is she refused to tell me what happened in the previous chapters so I had no clue as to what was going on or who these new characters that had appeared on the screen were and because of that I didn't understand the ending.
During the car ride home sister finally explained what occurred during Chapters 3, 4 and the beginning of 5 but still I had questions- Who? What? Why? Well if so and so did that then why did that happen?
Watching "The Hateful Eight" was like picking up a book I've never read before and reading only the first and last chapter.
Other than, "what the hell happened?" I really can't form an opinion on the film. However I can say the popcorn and the nachos were quite tasty.

My loyal and dear readers, it's finally Friday.
Whatever your plans are have a splendid weekend.~x
