I had not heard of the Goo Goo Cluster. It makes my mouth water just reading the ingredients.

It's a Southern candy I grew up with.

I've been browsing the Goo Goo website. Impressive sustainability initiatives, and the Store Locator has made me very happy. What kind of an experience was it to have one after such a period of time?

we watched Renny Harlin's surprisingly effective Devil's Pass (2013), an sf thriller based on the 1959 Dyatlov Pass incident. I was impressed.

Sounds good, I'll watch it.

The internet is a temple to the jaded. Its inhabitants seek to prove how jaded they have become as a measure of intelligence and sophistication and superiority over anything sincere.

The internet is so much about judgement and criticism that it's impossible to be human and not naturally possess qualities that leave one vulnerable to that judgement. So I think people form emotional calluses. The idea of a mental illness preventing calluses from forming does make sense. And people armoured by such calluses would be more reckless in expressing judgements.

I'll need to give the finished piece a good reading, and there will likely be no end of corrections. But it will be done.

It was worth the effort. I like it immensely; it's like a chip off an epic, holding the entire story in miniature, slant and refracting.

Most movies explain too much toward the end, but the historical incident looks like an invitation to weird fiction; I will be very curious to see what the film does with it.

; I've see still of the SFX makeup, and it was plenty creepy all on its own. It was masterful.

I love movies that don't need CGI to conjure mystery with. Pacific Rim was a nearly perfect film in that respect: it used CGI for those things that couldn't have been created any other way (the terrible beauty of the kaiju) and practical effects for everything else that needed weight and heft and the little physical unpredictabilities of the world beyond of the screen.
