Watched Phantom Thread last night, and omg chiclets, what in the world was that? I liked it -- I liked it a lot -- but. Um. What a weird relationship? It was certainly one of the most beautiful films I've seen. Every shot was just gorgeous and so beautifully framed. The acting was first-rate, especially by Lesley Manville as Daniel Day-Lewis' sister -- she was AMAZING. It is, I guess, at its heart a dysfunctional love story? A story of two dysfunctional people finding their own kind of love? Well, who am I to decide what kind of love is the "right" love? Strong recommendation, two thumbs up to this very different film.

Now reading Kate Atkinson's new novel, Transcription. I am a big Atkinson fan, and so far this is terrific.

And here's something fannish -- an auction of props and set objects from House. Wilson's driver's license! Multiple House canes! Pill bottles! Stethoscopes! I think it will be interesting to see what some of these items end up going for.
