“Come with uncle and hear all proper. Hear angel trumpets and devil trombones...you are invited!”
Oh bliss, gorgeousness and gorgeousity made flesh. As I slooshied, I knew such lovely pictures! And then, O my brother, soon our dear old friend, the red, red vino on tap, the same in all places like it's put out by the same firm, began to flow. It's funny how the colours of the real world only seem really real when you viddie them on a screen.
Thank you, little Alex.

It's 89℉ and sunny as I write this on an August afternoon but October is coming. Which means Hooptober is near and it's the most wonderful movie-watching time of the year. I hope…

I hope to use the hell out of my Shudder and my Night Flight Plus this time 'round (my 6th go). A lot of obscure, grimy little regional backwoods nasties and some classic Times Square Grindhousers, along with a big'un or two that I missed...like the newish Stephen King's It and another I haven't seen since the golden age of premium cable- Cronenberg's Scanners. Thanks to Cinemonster for putting this together every year, he makes Letterboxd extra special.
So viddie well, little droogies, viddie well...
