Surgery went well; thanks for the positive thoughts!

I'm home now and attempting to watch the most recent Saturday Night Live. This is comical because a) I haven't seen this show in several years and no longer recognize the cast, and b) painkillers. Any suggestions re: films and shows I should check out in the coming weeks?

(Reminder: Strange Horizons fund drive has 12 more days to go!)

Do you have Netflix? If yes, Milk of Sorrow, In a World..., Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, Bomb Girls, Alice by Svankmajer, devil in a blue dress, Hit & Miss, Blackfish, The Galapagos Affair: Satan Comes to Eden, Himalaya, Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Snowpiercer, Prohibition, Nosferatu, Triplets of Belleville, Two Lives, and possibly The 100 but I haven't watched it yet.

Of all the things you've listed, Snowpiercer is the only one I've seen (it was fantastic, but it gave me a panic attack, so I probably won't be watching that again for a while). The Triplets of Belleville has been on my to-watch list for years, so maybe I'll start with that!

I think you'll like Alice (unless you're scared of puppets and Czech weirdness), but I'd keep it for when you aren't too floaty on painkillers. Avengers: EMH is adorable.

I can assure you that neither puppets, nor Czech weirdness disconcert me ;)

Ooh yes, I'd back Svankmejer's Alice (or is it Alenka or something like that?) A friend of mine described it as Alice with the English whimsy taken out (and something else put in).

I'm not sure why it's dropped into my mind, or whether you'd easily get hold of it, but I'm fond of an Argentinian film called Nine Queens about a couple of con men.

But mostly I am pleased that you've come through the op OK.

Both of those sound intriguing and I will pursue them <3
