An almost impossible film to write about - but gave it a go anyway. Not to spoil anything but this looks fucking incredible on 4K.

Amie and I have been watching House for the first time. In one episode House stabs a needle into a man’s neck without consent and prescribed cigarettes to a mall Santa who is shitting blood. You can’t be doing that Mr House.

Having blacked out parts of my life growing up can be fun sometimes because the other day I remembered that this silly ass show was one of the ways I coped with the 24/7 coverage of 9/11 as a kid. A great show, would recommend to watch during interesting times.
