Something I want to manifest for 2025 is people wanting to read my books again.

But we were the tiny generation that no one cared about. NOW they care?

Sometimes there is meaning, so it drives me crazy when it gets my attention and I cannot find meaning.

I basically have a radio station in the back of my brain, and I don't get to pick what it plays. I've also given up guessing if it means anything.

Currently playing Man of Constant Sorrow.

Alt: George Clooney says i am a man of constant sorrow in front of a microphone, from the film O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Yeah, my series is three four-book arcs and, spoiler alert, that is too many words for any normal sized print version.

Boo London @cmdrsue.bsky.social · 10h

Right? There's Eric Idle and then comedic bits with Father Sarducci and the Ghostbusters!

Boo London @cmdrsue.bsky.social · 10h

Yessssssss

Boo London @cmdrsue.bsky.social · 10h

Mister Frost (1990) is my favorite you've-probably-never-heard-of-it horror movie.

Boo London @cmdrsue.bsky.social · 10h

My top complaint about The Sentinel?

YOU HAD JEFF GOLDBLUM AND CHRISTOPHER WALKEN RIGHT THERE, AND YOU DID NOTHING WITH THEM.

Mr. Goddamn Frost and the creepiest Gabriel ever.

Boo London @cmdrsue.bsky.social · 10h

I don't watch it often, so every time I'm like, "Oh, right! Eric Idle is in this!!"

Boo London @cmdrsue.bsky.social · 11h

Gonna cleanse my palate with a little Casper (1995) before bed.

Boo London @cmdrsue.bsky.social · 11h

Hey, last minute now-famous people to add to the list. Tom Berenger and Nana Visitor!

She found a new boyfriend, and his name is Jesus.

When your choices are 'house of the devil' and 'lawyer boyfriend' and you keep going back to the house of the devil, it's time to find a new boyfriend.

I keep waiting to see when Jeff Goldblum is going to figure into it, but there are 11 minutes left so... I guess he's just a background guy? He's mostly around to pick up the heroine when she faints, which is awfully nice of him.

Jeff Goldblum in a green shirt and holding a camera has a hand out to the lead while she has her hands to her head with a headache.

I do kinda want to see the alternate version the director suggests with D'Angelo and Walken as leads.

'After the film's completion, Winner screened the final cut for Universal Pictures executives, whom he stated "almost committed suicide by doing a two-foot fall from their padded leather chairs."'

bwha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Martin Sheen didn't have wide enough appeal for a film audience? Whaaaa?

Boo London @cmdrsue.bsky.social · 11h

Could also play the older brother that doesn't eff up so much. He has range.

Close up of young Chris Sarandon looking serious.

One of the coolest low-key creepy scenes I've ever seen: our heroine and her lawyer boyfriend arguing about whether a book they are both looking at is in English or Latin.

Boo London @cmdrsue.bsky.social · 12h

My bad, it was the lawyer's wife who killed herself, not a girlfriend. It saved him an expensive divorce, it seems.

Boo London @cmdrsue.bsky.social · 12h

Pretty boy Sarandon surely doesn't know.

Another close up of Sarandon.

Boo London @cmdrsue.bsky.social · 12h

Well, hello there Christopher Walken and Eli Wallach.

They find Chris Sarandon very sus because his last girlfriend killed herself... or did she?

Eli Wallach and Christopher Walken as detectives.

Boo London @cmdrsue.bsky.social · 12h

Is our girl brave? Stupid?

She's just made it through two of the worst jump scares I've seen and now she's murdering a guy with a kitchen knife and running away in her negligee.

The narrative just took a left turn that would have me dunking myself in the holy water fountain at the closest church and never going back into that building again.

Nah, our girl goes back. I think she needs to admit that she should break up with Chris Sarandon if she wants to avoid him this much.
