Finally watched Train Dreams. Easily one of the best book adaptations I've seen. The novella was great, but the film brought it to life. The pacing & cinematography deliver a thematic gut punch that captures the quiet passage of life & how someone can end up simply drifting through it.

Not surprised they made Denis Johnson's "Train Dreams" into a film; picked up a copy of the book while visiting Sydney years ago & although it was meant to be my book for the trip, I ended up finishing it in a single afternoon. Well worth another read.

While watching "A House of Dynamite", I couldn't help but wonder how our current administration would handle the same situation. How even the most competent professionals struggle to make the correct decisions in life or death situations.

And I realized we were truly fucked.

The new series "Last Samurai Standing" is so good. Action choreography, acting, pacing, all just superbly done. Haven't binged a series like that in quite awhile.

Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein was excellent. A great exploration of the monster and his creation.

Decided to start watching the #Horror series From, and now I have every window covered and locked shut tonight. Worth a watch, but maybe when it's light out.

Today’s adventures are out and about the Golden Coast. Coincidentally, this was also the first time we’ve gotten rain in months, which makes perusing used bookstores all the better.
Had to get out of the house today, so naturally I’m spending the day visiting used bookstores all over Southern California.

It’s very telling when someone views hate speech as a matter of opinion.

I should probably stop watching horror films late at night, but I was honestly surprised at how entertaining "Clown in a Cornfield" was.
