In addition to all the other things I did today

which included stooping through bushes, finding two more muzzles at the store (the first four having been chewed by the puppy), discovering that the hardware store at Tates Creek Centre has once again gone out of business, doing a grocery run for couscous, etc., I also watched a movie I have out from Netflix with some friends. It was The Woman in Black, which was spooky and very reminiscent of what we might find in the game, with a surprise ending. The only trouble was it was hard to see a lot because, true to the era, there wasn't much in the way of lighting, so you didn't always catch what the character was reading or reacting to. Otherwise it was a nice solid supernatural thriller. There was a film in the previews which looked vaguely interesting, called Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, with Ewan McGregor, Emily Blunt, and Kristin Scott Thomas, but it is not out on DVD yet, according to Netflix. The next DVD in my queue is Julie & Julia, which I hear was delightful.
