Quick flyby to say:

Jeff's new movie Possession (formerly, and better, titled The Dibbuk Box) is scary as FUCK and he is flat-out fantabulous in it. Exceptionally good real-people scares (as compared to Hollywood scares) and a great cast all around, with JD and the little girl who plays the afflicted hitting for, and reaching, the stars.

A few thoughts on a few things I am enjoying or have enjoyed recently. Or thought I would enjoy but didn't so much. Or didn't think I'd enjoy that I did ...

So. Because my heart, not to overstate it, has been torn in half and thrown down, has been eviscerated and left on the road like so much ofal unworthy of a simple courtesy call of "hey, sorry I killed your fucking heart" (in case you're wondering what's going on in my personal life), I gakked this meme from maharet83 to take my mind off my woes:

My review of this week's American Horror Story:

Brain go BOOM!!!

That is all.

I now officially forgive you for jumping ship on Fringe. I'm always gonna miss Charlie, but if you had a chance at this writing and passed on it, I would have to ( Read more... )

And feel free to comment. All that white space in the comments section is kinda givin me the blues.

And while you're in ( Read more... )

I could not have loved this movie more.

Perfect.

Freakin PERFECT.

That is all.

Just in case y'all didn't know? Justified is the best damn show on TV. Period. End of sentence. I love this show (and Tim Olyphant, and the writers of this show) so much is isn't even funny.

On other fronts, Detroit 187 is still rocking down the house. The last episode wasn't quite what I'd hoped it would be, but on an overall basis, I feel very ( Read more... )

Rango was fucking fantastic! So, so smart and funny and ... profound in many ways. So many pop culture, literature, western, film and Johnny Depp references it makes the head spin. And Timmy O's cameo made me literally squeal with delight. How fucking awesome ... and perfect. Like MegaMind and Up, I wish I'd written that movie. If you have the ( Read more... )
