Started watching a movie called The Savage Bees, and they started by killing a dog, and then a child, so these bees really mean it.

I just watched Shivers last night, which was great, but also made me wonder why I wasn’t watching The Brood, which I think is Cronenberg’s best film.

This is the story.

It’s Canadian Thanksgiving and I’m grateful for Canadian filmmakers. That’s why I’m watching David Cronenberg’s Shivers for the first time today! boxd.it/1rPG

The Shining is a masterclass in cinematography. Amazing audio, music, camera angles, colours, it's fantastic. A must-watch every October.

It’s a much better rule than the other way around. That way you always get the treat you want on your birthday.

Weekend reading! The final book in my goal to read all of Stephen King’s novels in chronological order.

A Kobo dreaded against a black background with the cover art for the book Never Flinch by Stephen King displayed on it.

Proudly living in a vertical slum over here, which also has at least three families living in three of the nine units in this building…. Plus the two other vertical slums in the same complex around me also have families.

Some people really need a paradigm shift.

I'm a day late for the full moon, but if I learned anything from Buffy The Vampire Slayer it's that werewolves turn for a few days before and after the full moon, so I'm still good.

Now watching The Wolf Man (1941)
