Not really. That’s related to car rides, when we reach our destination she’s very anxious to get walking & has to let everyone know🤨

Timothy Cain is such a calm and thoughtful presence on YT. He created the computer game ‘Fallout’ and has worked as a game developer for 40+ years. He is also 🏳️‍🌈family🏳️‍🌈. If you have even a mild interest in the game industry, I think you’ll enjoy what he has to say.

This allowed more men to be preyed upon. If this story sounds compelling, now's a good to time to catch up on Season 1. It's on all the streaming platforms.

The show looks at how indifference and homophobia on the part of law enforcement led to years of delays in taking these crimes seriously, allowing other men to be victimized. Another aspect of these crimes is the gay community's unfortunate habit of occasionally protecting the worst of us.

This book was chilling. So glad they caught the killer. RIP Michelle M.

(7/7) The script was rewritten and is not directly connected to the previous movies. Still, it has a ‘Demons’ vibe to it that hits the right spot.

(6/7) I had hoped 'The Church' would end up going balls-to-the-wall nutso like 'Demons' (1985), but it doesn't quite get there. I learned later that this movie was originally going to be Part 3 in the 'Demons' trilogy but that plan was scrapped.

(5/7) The English dubbing is all over the place, but the soundtrack is pretty good. It's made up of various compositions by Goblin, Keith Emerson and Philip Glass (Koyaanisqatsi-era). I think you could add Philip Glass to most horrors movies and they would instantly become 100x better.

(4/7) There are a lot of humorous moments, and I hope at least some of them were intentional. Surely the filmmakers expected the audience to be howling after one of the characters torpedoes herself through a window?

(3/7) A group of schoolchildren see their teacher murdered in a ridiculous set piece moment, but mere minutes later they're over the trauma and back to being bored and surly.

(2/7) The story has a more consistent logic to it than anything Argento has released. Argento’s wild tonal shifts are still here, but those can be fun. For example:

(1/7) I was surprised at how much I enjoyed watching 'The Church / La Chiesa' (1989, Kanopy). Writer/director Michele Soavi was a protégé of Dario Argento, which is a red flag for me. But I was won over by its cosmic-horror-meets-Catholicism in which a librarian opens a hellmouth under a church.

New development at NE Sandy Blvd & 27th. They retained the arched structure of the Pepsi bottling plant that was there previously. 15 years ago we lived nearby and walked our dog Ginger around the area, always stopping to watch the big trucks full of soda pull out of the warehouse.

'Barb Wire' (1996, Criterion) knew which way the wind was blowing.

This movie is more fun than I expected. Compared to other genre movies of the 90s ('Virtuosity', 'Hackers'), this one breezes right along. It was just right for half-watching while playing with the pup before bedtime.

Pamela Anderson as the character Barb Wire. She is looking contemplatively into the distance while resting her arm over the top of the windshield of a convertible sports car that has the top down. The sky is shades of orange above her.
