“This is like explaining gravity to a chicken” #selinameyer #veep

In all the wonder and weirdness of Twin Peaks season 1 & 2, I keep thinking about how the bartender makes Annie a rum and tonic when she asks for a drink. Sheesh, if you don’t like her, just refuse service. #twinpeaks

Yes! That’s how I’ve always felt about the Nosferatu take on Dracula, although maybe that’s how I feel about Dracula, too.

I really like What We Do in the Shadows (tv more than film, but I like both), but that’s so different from standard vampire fare. Blade is fine, Buffy is fine, Byzantium I liked, what am I missing? (/12) #nosferatu #vampires

I’ll admit I didn’t give Nosferatu a fair chance, but I don’t know that I would’ve enjoyed it even if I had an open mind. I don’t know if I’ve seen a version of Dracula that I’ve liked. (/11) #nosferatu #vampires

We try to see at least one movie in the theaters as a family around the end of the year. The other film they wanted to see was Wicked, and I wanted to see that even less. I went into the movie with a bad attitude. (/10) #nosferatu #vampires

I’ve liked Eggers’ films less and less since The Witch, so going to see this movie was not a prospect I was looking forward to. My whole family was quite excited to see the film (and they all enjoyed it a lot). (/9) #nosferatu #vampires

About 2/3 of the way through I was dying for something that was not blue or grey. I just wanted a spot of color. That said, the set design and costuming was top notch. (/8) #nosferatu #vampires

So the voice just grated on me, and I knew that wouldn’t get better (i.e., he wouldn’t start talking like Nick Hoult all of a sudden) so…I dreaded every time he was going to talk (/7) #nosferatu #vampires

I did NOT like Skarsgård’s voice, and I knew that would be a point of contention as I suspected, correctly, that most people would love it. I did like the Orlok character design and how imposing Skarsgård was as Orlok. (/6) #nosferatu #vampires

In the current movie, I thought most of the acting performances were top notch. (Notably I thought Dafoe mailed his scenes in; the guy can do accents, he can carry gravitas, it just wasn’t there for me in this film) (/5) #nosferatu #vampires

There are a LOT of things in Murnau’s original film that were groundbreaking. The use of Orlok’s shadow having tangible effects is brilliant and I thought Eggers did a nice job of updating that effect. (/4) #nosferatu #vampires

I was disappointed to hear that Evers wanted to remake Nosferatu as I’ve found that story/adaptation of Dracula goofy at best. It’s hard to compare movies 100 years apart as so much has changed in the industry. (/3) #nosferatu #vampires

Outside of Let the Right One In (the Swedish original, which I love; the American remake is fine, the tv show was ok) I can’t think of a vampire story that I enjoy. (/2) #nosferatu #vampires

I think I’m the only person I know that wasn’t impressed with Nosferatu. My wife posited that maybe I don’t care for vampire mythology/stories and she might be right. (/1) #nosferatu #vampires

Arresting Librarians Has NEVER Led to More Liberty and Freedom.  History has shown that prosecuting librarians or educators is one of the hallmarks of an oppressive regime.

This is perfect explanation

Oh! Was that Molly Shannon (caseworker for Little Nicky)? It was! #twinpeaks

Also, how amazing was Lara Flynn Boyle in the second season of Twin Peaks?

Twin Peaks rewatch continues. We’ve uncovered Laura’s killer and we’re on to two other storylines/characters I’ve forgotten about: Dick Tremayne and Evelyn Marsh. Oh James, you got all the BEST storylines 🙄 #twinpeaks #davidlynch

Which, of course, is followed up by one of the most horrifying scenes of the season #killerbob #twinpeaks

Oh god I forgot about the HORRIBLE song that James, Donna, and Maddy sing in season 2 episode 2 #twinpeaks #rewatch

Getting ready for chicken shawarma

Amazon gifted me with two of these. Anyone interested in one of them?

I’m pretty much just following what the dermatologist told me to do, and I’m sure they lean towards Vaseline since most people have it on hand. I appreciate feedback. It’s like social media can be useful!

Oh cool! I’ll do that. I have a few more rounds to go, so that would be a good investment!

TMI but I’m finally taking care of the warts etc on my face (they are swollen oil glands, who knew?) but that means my face is oozy and slimy (stuff is covered in Vaseline to avoid infection)

This advice is important now, and will be even more important in two weeks, when the next administration is going to flood the zone with horribleness, with the intent of overwhelming everyone into compliance. Pick your battles and keep your focus. Trust others are doing the same elsewhere.

(I’ve had a few drinks, so I’m using the word ‘lingered’ repeatedly)
