Just finished Frankenstein and this might be my favorite Guillermo Del Toro film since Pan’s Labyrinth (which is quite the feat). Gorgeously shot, lavish set pieces, emotional and empathetic. What a treat!

Arrived this morning: “Master of Evil” by @adamchristopher.me. As a huge fan of Shadows of the Sith, I’ve been eagerly awaiting this book since it was announced back in Spring. Jumping in now.

Happy birthday to the incomparable Carrie Fisher. May she forever rest in the Force.
Leader, rebel, and General to many. But to me, she’s royalty.

So happy for this kid! Was impressed when I got to meet him his rookie year. The Ducks have far flashier young talent, but he is one of the most underrated defensemen in the league and just keeps proving his worth. Now, this new contract will make him the highest paid player in Anaheim history.

Now watching: “House of Wax” (2005)
Just some good old fashioned mid-00’s fare for an easy going morning. A bit by the numbers, and plenty to eye roll at, but enjoyable enough to have on in the background during October nonetheless.

Now watching: “Candyman” (1992)
It’s been maybe 20 years since I’ve seen it. Just now noticing that, outside of “saying his name makes him appear,” I’ve forgotten literally everything else. Fun to revisit early 90’s, pre-Scream horror. And… of course, Virginia Madsen!
