Talking about season 1, episode 14, “Gender Bender.” You remember: the white-clay sort-of “Amish” one? Anyway, it seems to share a lot of the themes and imagery with Midsommar : free love/lots of sex, fun with distorted/altered perception, big serene meadows, but, too, a lot of the beats line up as well: there’s interlopers in […]
Guess I should have stacked these into animated gifs—take up less space that way. But, in lieu: Man in the High Castle s.4 Breaking Bad s . . . .2, I think? Dracula ep2 ( and, um, yeah, I just pause stuff on my television screen, creep up with my phone, angle it around to
Once again, I let this get to be an unwieldy enough stack of links/reads that to slow down and make them into a pretty and proper list would keep me from revising the novel I’m revising. So, in all their likely awkwardness, with apologies for some embedding, some being URLS, some shuddering into some completely
Well, as I understand it, “Ye” is really a typographic artifact, not an actual word. But it’s fun to say. Anyway, this looks to be killer:
Didn’t mean it to happen, but a post I started on here a few years ago became kind of a dumping ground for all things The Shining. Or, for weird things The Shining? Talking about this. But, more intentionally now, I’m going to start piling all my Jaws stuff here. And? There’s always more Jaws
for me. Didn’t think to do this until listening to Shock Waves‘ top 10 of the decade, but I guess it was a decade already somehow. So, in no order, and including honorable mentions (with my favorite being of course Cabin), and, it looks like, not quite sticking to even the loosest definition of “ten,”
Or, a missed opportunity? What got me thinking about this was that fish we see Luke carrying in The Last Jedi, that he evidently speared with that super-long spear. That fish that, for a planet that kicks up Thala-sirens (those Suessian things he milks) and frog nuns that look straight out of a live-action Emmet
( which is IN 2020, but about this December we just had . . . )
Just like last year, I had this idea that doing a monthly post would make it a snap to figure out my best of the years: just scroll through, it’ll be obvious. I wish. Though it does make it easier to remember stuff from before summer, say. So, without further whatever, and by category, and
Reprint of a thing I did . . . in 2017, maybe? Very cool of the very cool Transmotion to run it:
This paste-in isn’t going to be as bulletpoint-neat as before, with quotation marks and titles. But that’s just because I skipped a month of posting these, so they kind of built up, became a job. Anyway, for some reason some embeds create blank space right after them, which is kind of unkillable. Sorry for the
Piece of an older piece, link to the old piece in the description. Though I see now that I think I used that old piece (a piece of it) in another thing I wrote, out as an afterword for a book before too long. But, for now:
Odd: the two things that bubbled up in my Twitter feed this morning are both emotional things that don’t require the characters actually speaking. Pretty cool:
Couldn’t be more excited. I mean, I even blew my one exclamation point for this month up in that subject line, yes?
what this is: last week, maybe the week before, I don’t know, I had a lot to write, so figured to keep myself somewhat on-task by making myself log down what-all was going on. this is that—closing down files, found it off to the side. just added the images and stuff. and, to be sure,
Feel like I’m always talking about what I’ve seen and read, but never about what I WANT to see and read. So, this is that, though I’ve been so lost in World Fantasy reading and a not-announced (I don’t think) reading thing that most of what I want to read is already out (except John
