CONGRATULATING MYSELF ON YET ANOTHER IMPECCABLE DAY OF SETTING GOALS FOR MYSELF, MAKING A PLAN TO REACH THEM, AND THEN STARING IN SLACK-JAWED CONFUSION AT MY COMPUTER SCREEN AS NOTHING HAPPENS FOR 5 HOURS
@hottestsingles John Clute's The Darkening Garden is not an easy read and a bit abstract, but has some great insight... some excerpts are free on Weird Fiction Review, e.g. https://t.co/Sir8xPhQCL
I'm reminded tonight that people in all their glory are precious, that friends are the most precious, and that when they're gone, they're gone. You won't get to see them again.
@EldritchGirl @ShredvanWinkle some parts of Silence of the Lambs are problematic today but it's still a great film (win all 5 major Oscars!)... and Anthony Hopkins plays such an intense and inscutable character that he definitely transcends the "he's just a guy" thing
In THE THING (1982), Ennio Morricone did more with two notes on a synthesizer than most movie composers could do with a whole orchestra and a thousand high-tech tricks. What a loss for cinema.
