Are movies getting weirder?

I just watched The Shape of Water which, I think, won the Academy Award.  I try not to know these things because I am not happy with Hollywood, but then they don't really care.  This is a weird movie, but just as I was about to leave it I found I could not. Comparing this with the other up for awards movie Three Billboards, I cannot see how it won, if it won. I've also watched Orient Express and would have enjoyed it more had the English accents not been so quietly garbled.  Lady Bird, I think, was up for awards too and I found it lacking.  Maybe I just don't get it any more.  I am enjoying several spots on Netflix and I am back into reading although it is not totally keeping my interest.  I am catching up and reviewing Madam Secretary which Andy and I both enjoy.

Now to food:  Have you heard of pretzel turtles?  Nothing could be easier to produce.
25 pecan halves roasted
24 mini pretzels squares
24 soft caramels
8 ounces milk chocolate
parchment paper
lay 24 mini pretzels on baking paper in a single layer
put a caramel on top of each pretzel
put in oven for 4 minutes or until caramel is melted
put a roasted pecan on each caramel
melt chocolate
on baking paper put a puddle for each pretzel and set the pretzel on top of chocolate
let cool

I have to start cooking in earnest; Nate comes home the 21st and Easter is Apr. 1st.  The tables are set and covered.  I just have to plan the centerpieces.
