Great Lines from Recent (to me) TV

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 cut the glare / jack the perspective, and snap away. but it works. I mean, for my/these purpose . . . )

Best Reads from Lately

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 new and unlikely form, here’s my best reads from . . . lately:

Ye Olde English

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:

All Things Jaws

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 stuff. There can never be enough Jaws stuff. Starting with this cool find:

Best Horror Movies of the Decade

for me. Didn’t think to do this until listening to Shock Wavestop 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,” here’s mine:

My Star Wars Theory

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 Otter’s Jug-Band—

—is a pretty normal fish:

And by ‘normal’ I mean ‘in keeping with the Earth-fish I know,’ yeah. But? This could of co…

Best of 2019

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 including stuff I only FOUND in 2019, and just going plural for some instead of staging ties:

NOVELS

HORROR MOVIE

easy choice, obvious choice, c’mon. this one’
