pedantherImportant public service announcement for people who have embarrassment squick like me:
There was a stretch in Pixar's new movie Coco where I was shrinking in my seat with dread, and seriously weighing up the pros and cons of fleeing the cinema -- but it turns out fine in the end: the situation is resolved gracefully and nobody actually suffers any of what I was dreading.
Also, Coco is a marvellous movie and well worth seeing.
(Context footnote: I don't recall if I've told the story here before that when I was a kid it was comedies like I Love Lucy, and not sci-fi monster shows like Doctor Who, that made me hide behind things and watch through my fingers. The feeling of impending doom that's usually associated with a plucky protagonist exploring a dark and seemingly deserted old house is for me the feeling I get when a character strides confidently into a situation, firmly grasping the wrong end of the stick.)
