Discussing movies in theatre today.
The neurosurgeon is very unimpressed by “The Power of the Dog”. His reasoning all sounds logical but I suspect there’s more to it. It turns out that he was an adviser for Benedict Cumberbatch when he was preparing for his role as Dr Strange (I’d forgotten he was a neurosurgeon before he got his powers and started wearing odd clothes and hanging out with Avengers). It was all via emails rather than in person but still my surgeon was disgruntled not to be publicly thanked when Benedict appeared on the Graham Norton show. Huh! If he was an anaesthetist he’d be more used to being overlooked.
