Gyllenhaal has blown Del Toro right out of the water. So much more MORE in The Bride. I loved it. It knew itself, and felt human. Gives new meaning to the phrase “ink stained wretch.”

Sir, are our people incapable of looking at a map? Putin’s successor will want windy Ilium.

Specifically, um, Star Wars?

Hate on The Bride all you want, haters, but Maggie Gyllenhaal blew Guillermo Del Toro right out of the water. 💥

Loved myself. So very much more MORE there than last fall’s handsome-but-otherwise-routine (sorry but it’s true) workout.
The Bride🧣

Driving home in tears because I never heard Eyes of the World before. Oh my bleeding Jezisss.
I should have followed the Dead.

🎶🎶
It doesn’t really matter if there’s danger,
For danger’s a roof I fell from long ago.
I’ll be out one day
And never come back,
Forget the bitter you owe me Jack,
Just piss on m’ grave and carry on the show.

Sounds plausible.

“…because you fear great change.”

Jake Gittes stood by them, and they stand him in good stead still. Perhaps you cross paths at the Albacore? I’m sure that to you he seems elderly.

Toshiro Mifune as Samurai MacBeth in Throne of Blood

Report from northern NJ: geese filled the sky on Sunday. They were moving like motorcycle gangs. (Juggalos!) The biggest of the Vs subtended 30° of sky. There were two groups visible at any given time.

Get ‘em while they’re young.

Because working class dental hygienists go first.

I for one don’t expect thematic consistency from the re-animated dead. Very possibly even Lazarus had mixed feelings?

Great-grandmother Perry to my grandmother:
“We all have to eat a peck of dirt before we die.”
My grandmother’s response:
“Aw mom, do I _really_ have to eat a peck of dirt?”
G-GM’s retort:
“You’d best get started.”
