  1. Alternate Endings, Suppressed

    Alternate Endings, Suppressed. I. Resistance The young boy's voice sounded so far away, so very far away. Elsa looked around the cramped space that had been her home for the last six months. The battle was over. Germany had won the war. The roaring in her ears drowned out everything but the sound of her heart pounding in her chest, a pounding so loud that she was certain that the men of the Gestapo would hear it even outside the building, even in their headquarters in the center of...

  2. Tweety Case

    Got around to watching Netflix's "Bird Box" last night. It felt like the sort of thing Stephen King pops out on a Saturday afternoon when Tabitha is on his ass about cleaning the gutters. "Honey, they say it's supposed to rain this week, could you-" "Tabby, I told you, I've got a great idea going, don't want to lose my train of thought. Call that neighbor kid, what's his name, Dusty? Cody?" "It's Dakota, hon, but his mom says-" His hip was aching again. What the fuck am I doing sitting...

  3. Io Sucks

    Io, on Netflix. Painful painful painful awful fucking shitty horrible piece of crap, the writer(s) should have their everything revoked. I'm not going to spoiler-wrap this because I want to save you from the movie, dammit. First ten seconds or whatever, "Some people say it was the pollution, I call it human nature." "sending ships to other planets to harvest their geothermal energy." You what?!? No, I don't care about the terminology, but Earth isn't short on geothermal energy last I...

  4. From the Earth to the Other One

    I saw First Man today, and I'm kind of overwhelmed with thoughts. First, kudos to Ryan Phillipe Reynolds Gosling for successfully playing a block of wood. And that's not a criticism. I've read a bit about Neil Armstrong, and part of NASA's selection process was to find the most boring person they could to take the most important first step in human history. Fuck Columbus, it was already occupied. I love Buzz Aldrin, but NASA didn't want that. Armstrong (would he have had a shot if...

  5. "Hereditary" Movie Review (no spoilers)

    I just got back from Hereditary. No spoilers, but I found this movie very enjoyable in the classic horror sense of things. There are a couple scenes involving a cell phone, but they don't need to be there, and the rest of the movie could have been done anytime in the last forty or fifty years. That's a compliment, if you enjoy films like The Exorcist and The Omen, you may enjoy this film. There are no wisecracking evil menaces, no terrified teenagers in swimsuits or underwear, and no...

  6. Technical Difficulties

    While I was browsing the net the other day, I chanced upon a site that was hosting some sort of international short film festival. After looking at a couple of the titles, I discovered what appeared to be a Japanese romance movie. Now, my language ability isn't so hot, but I always like the opportunity to learn more about local culture so I figured I'd give it a shot. As my wife was still at work, it was up to me to understand as much of it as I could. The beginning was a little confusing,...

  7. xXx: Return of Xander Cage Reviewed (no spoilers)

    Just got back from xXx: Return of Xander Cage. No spoilers, but it was a lot of fun. If you see it on the big screen. Like most action flicks, I don't think it would translate well to my living room. Oh, also, I saw it in MX4D, which is the Japanese variant of the 3d theater with seats that tilt, bump, poke you in the kidneys and buttocks, spray blasts of air, water, and scents at your face, and tickle your ankles. So, kind of like that uncle that doesn't get invited by for Thanksgiving...
