The Extreme Staycation

Location: London, UK COVID-19 / Coronavirus Outbreak Lockdown I've always liked and rated James McAvoy as an actor - he's very versatile.  And having just watched Split directed by M Night Shyamalan, I'm convinced. Without giving too much away, McAvoy plays a man with  Dissociative identity Disorder  who kidnaps three teenage girls.  His fluidity of movement between the personalities is extraordinary.  So much so, that you know by the way he arranges his face, who of the personalities is "in the light" at the time. If you haven't seen it, I would recommend a watch.  It's part of trilogy with Unbreakable (2000) and Glass (2019) Dissociative identity Disorder https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissociative_identity_disorder#:~:text=Dissociative%20identity%20disorder%20(DID)%2C,be%20explained%20by%20ordinary%20forgetfulness.

Location: London, UK COVID-19 / Coronavirus Outbreak Lockdown May the 4th be with you - AKA Star Wars Day OK, I am going to admit something pretty huge - I've never seen Star Wars. Yes.  I know.  I'm sorry. Why?  Honestly, I don't know.  I think I saw some of one of the original three when I was young as I remember liking R2-D2 and C-3PO.  Then I went to see Episode 1 at the cinema with a friend in 1999 who was a big Star Wars fan and I thought it was... a bit pants. I know that it has been resolutely derided by the majority of Star Wars fans and critics as being the worst one but it really put me off. However, as a self-confessed film fan/nerd I know that I need to see them, certainly the original three, as they are such hugely important film and cultural reference points.  So, I am going to watch them before the lockdown ends, I have decided!
