Power outage in our 12k person community. Going on two hours. Longest nighttime blackout I’ve experienced in many years. It’s a bit creepy looking out at the dark surrounding buildings.

You know that moment when — after spending months researching and brainstorming a story — you finally realize what it’s all about and literally everything clicks into place?
Yeah, I just had that moment for this project.

So stellar to listen to director Philip Kaufman before a screening of his INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS last night at the Egyptian. By the time they had to wrap up, he was keen to keep talking for another two hours! I love the film — but I would happily have just listened to him for the runtime.

So, yeah. The wife and I had the bejeezus scared out of us on the weekend. Here’s the proof!
In my defense, there WAS another Predator that was clearly a mannequin and this guy was initially standing rigid still. Last time I trash talk an alien before checking its pulse.

Wife’s migraine scuttled our Halloween plans, but we made up for it by indulging in one of our favorite film puzzlers: Two movies, same story, different genre. This time: Students w/ absent parents forced to stay at their prep school over the holiday break.
