Movie 29. Misery (1990)

I think a lot of people might like this more than I did, but this just made me deeply uncomfortable. I didn't even know it was based off a Stephen King novel until afterward, but I could kind of tell - the protagonist (and older James Caan) is a writer confined to bed by rabid fangirl Annie, played by Kathy Bates.

It's possible that these psychological thrillers are just not really my thing. It's kind of obvious that the protagonist can't escape until the end. I enjoy a bit of predictability, but it's no fun for me to watch the only likable character - the sheriff - get killed in frustrating fashion, or to watch the protagonist fail to escape repeatedly, or to watch the torture porn as Annie breaks Caan's legs.

I will say that the movie was extremely tense, so there's that.
yet all azuarc of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness
