Don't get me started.
You shoulda seen the way she ate soup!

Ever since I saw the word "twist" and Mr Robot in the same headline, I've been squinting at my browser to avoid spoilers. I was also a little worried, since I sensed some discontent….

Willow Creek contains the very antithesis of a "showy" long take. In the context of its found-footage narrative, the effect is almost subliminal. (It only registered with me after the film had ended.)

Thanks for the tip; I'm watching episode one now. And good grief…there's the girl from Stranger Things (Millie Bobby Brown).

That film is a great "first contact" story…an interstellar Heathkit which, now that I think about it, reminds me a bit of the Gadget at the center of Sagan's Contact. (Oh, and the Interocitor has its own Wikipedia entry!)

Bi-Fur-Cation was a classic.

I saw Tin Cup twice.
I saw The Island of Dr. Moreau twice.

I'm pretty sure that bark's been re-gifted.

Oh, dear. I like Gilliam, but almost walked out on Imaginarium…it was all so scattered, like they were shooting random pages out of different scripts.

Wonder Woman wouldn't let a guy tell her what to do. I know this, because in the trailer she tells a guy, "what I do is not up to you."

Finally got around to reading From Bauhaus to Our House…I've had a used copy sitting on a shelf for years. Kind of a rehash of The Painted Word, but fun to read.

That's a weirdly adorable photo.

Talk of "too much political correctness" wouldn't bother me so much, were it not for the fact that the folks saying these things seem just itching to bust out all fascist.

Gave up (again) on Twin Peaks, specifically, at the moment in season two when Ed's amnesiac, eye-patch wearing wife tries out for the cheer-leading squad. A really clumsy attempt at broad humor, not the first in the series, but easily the worst.

I saw the trailer a few months back when it was still The Woods, and while the exact lineage wasn't spelled out, it was pretty obvious that it was Blair Witch. Kind of an in-joke, which I though was a good way of handling things. (The new title seems too in-your-face.)

Did it really need to have its title changed to Blair Witch to communicate that it was Blair Witch?

Yep. And here's the weird thing. This morning I watched Trump's acceptance speech at the NRC (from last night), and some combination of his paranoid rhetoric and all those balloons made me think of that film, and out of nowhere I ended up with that ominous/grandiose theme music running through my head.

Hey Mumbles! Go home and get your tube-box!

I loved that episode, and the way in intercut footage of (I think) an early Apollo test. Kind of freaked me out as a kid, seeing reality and Trek mixed. And Lansing had such a laid back confidence. Could have been a cool show.
