The Mummy
The other movie I watched this weekend was The Mummy. A hilarious thing about mine and Verity's friendship is that despite the fact that both of us are bad at watching movies we inevitably watch at least one when we visit each other. But! The reason why we can do this is that we have similar issues with watching movies, finding things too stressful or too embarrassing. So actually we are ideal people to watch movies with each other!
So when Verity told me we should watch The Mummy I was initially skeptical, but very quickly agreed that if she said I would like it I would probably like it.
I LIKED IT.
It may be something of a horror movie but it's never actually suspenseful because it's too silly for the watcher to take it seriously. And Verity kindly warned me about the grossest bits so I could turn my face away for those moments.
And mostly it was just funny and charming! Evelyn is the BEST and I love her extremely. She is a LIBRARIAN and she saves the day with her LEARNINGS and she is competent and driven and stubborn and all sorts of other good stuff.
And I was actually into the romance between her and her love interest dude. And her brother is exactly right as himself, and idk, I was even fond of Beni.
Not a deep movie, and I don't have any deep analysis, but it WAS deeply fun. What a great movie.
