I Am Not A Witch: This was really good. Social norm breakers in rural communities are ostracized and turned into unpaid/slave labor by those who need the labor but don’t believe in the reasons for the ostracism.

Youtubers making fun of Nostalgia Critic’s album-length parody of Pink Floyd’s The Wall (The Movie) that he made with a member of Slipknot: in which it seems to be solidified (I say this without watching the Nostalgia Critic’s album-length parody of Pink’s The Wall (The Movie)) that the Nostalgia Critic is making…

The Lusty Men: Robert Mitchum is a broken down rodeo rider, gets back into to it to teach Arthur Kennedy how and sorta halfway seduce his wife, Susan Hayward. Pretty good Nicholas Ray joint headed towards tragedy. Standout for me was Arthur Hunnicut as a colorful rodeo guy, sort of a young Walter Brennan type who is…

I thought after Alfie Allen and GRRM appeared on Gay of Thrones, many more cast members would. But I think those were the only ones?

I remember a video interview where Michael K. Williams was really excited about the role, and seemed to indicate he had it. I think he would have had a more interesting take than Foxx’s.

Prosecution and public shaming for corruption and law-breaking would be the right thing, but an Adam McKay joint is all we get.

Vice: There is a section of youtube in which you can watch the entirety of The Big Short in clips, I’m not sure why. Watch one and you will soon have the whole movie recommended to you, and its repartee/factoid/over-edited approach is well-suited to that. I’m still not sure I have seen the whole thing, but I think so a…

“I fell asleep reading your book, until human voices woke me, and I drowned.”

Damn my reading incomprehension.

I have a lot of love for a lot of the worm-related things listed above and below, but two I don’t see:

I’m ready to dive into sci-fi/fantasy and have access to Amazon Prime but it looks so silly.

On first watch I thought the first half was a good satire of social pressure to monogamy and family, and the second half rattling off into meaninglessness. But I loved the second half too on second viewing. I take it as Farrell’s character’s rebellion against the monogamist/family-centric order making him so neurotic…

Breaker Breaker: The same year Jack Nance starred in Eraserhead (though apparently filming that took years, so my friends were not sure if it’s just release dates) he is Chuck Norris’ buddy in the trucking-themed Breaker Breaker. I missed a lot for stepping outside to take phone calls. But hilariousness included the…

School or some place had it. I may have read it there!

Maybe that’s why I’m thinking of it

The account of everyday life disrupted by devastation makes me think of a great telling of The Great Molasses Flood I read in Reader’s Digest when I was a kid. Can’t find it but here’s the rundown:

Coffee, Honey Nut Crunch and some of Atomic Blonde: I’m watching like every other scene while putting off/doing work. Apparently Honey Nut Crunch is more properly called Honey Bunches of Oats, and I’m confusing it as intended with Honey Nut Cheerios. As always watching movies makes me want to tell the story my way and…

The book is the reason I’ve never watched the series that everybody loves and is considered one of the best in TV.

Note: I began no life of crime, I just didn’t know how to end my story. Enjoy these Bryan Cranston commercials.

Someone who was maybe me was in a commercial that was widely seen, on a local basis. It was well-made and funny. For a few years everyone saw it, and told me about it, and laughed as they recollected it and asked me how in the hell did you end up in that commercial? I got small checks every few months, for much longer…
