2018: December 26th

This will be the only time and the only trailer for Jordan Peele's upcoming film Us that I watch. I do not want to know a single thing more about this film before I sit down to watch it in a theatre in March. But boy is it a doozy. Can NOT wait for this one; Peele had proven himself to be a major voice in establishing a beachhead of viability for horror with major studio budgets again. Also, watching this trailer and being genuinely chilled at several moments therein, the idea that Peele is Producing a new Candyman movie makes me extremely excited.

Playlist from 12/25:

Vince Guaraldi Trio - A Charlie Brown Christmas
Christmas Music of all varieties (kinda need it to stop)
Henry Mancini and His Orchestra - Charade OST
The Police - Synchronicity
Talking Heads - Remain in Light

Card for today:

The Earthly aspect of Air. Let's read that initially as keep your head out of the clouds and down to Earth, or translated into Writerly Advice, stop f&^king talking about it and do it. There's also an element of destructive logic, which fits my overthinking the ending of this book. I've become gun-shy, and the next four days needs to undo that so I have a completed manuscript - in need of a hardcore edit, mind you - by NYE.

Machete Kills - Trailer Numero Uno

A little frustrated - I've been trying to post this off and on for a week or so (when I have time - you may have noticed I haven't exactly been around lately) and it kept getting yanked. Well, it's Machete, so it's worth the wait.

Agents of SHIELD trailer

So Coulson does indeed live. GOOD news.

Trailer: "The Ganzfeld Experiment"

Based on this trailer The Ganzfeld Experiment will either be great or awful - it's hard for me to say from what we see here. Conceptually I really like the idea of people locked in seclusion, fueling extra-sensory experimentation with drugs, but it's rare that a flick pulls it off.

American Mary

This is the theatrical trailer. The Red Band is a bit more... intense but I also think it gives more away. I have a good feeling about this one. I'm thinking something bitterly disturbing but worth it in the ballpark of Martyrs.

And in case you don't recognize her, if you're a Ginger Snaps fan like I am (part 2 RULES) that's Ginger -  Katharine Isabelle - herself, all grown up.
