I also watched that not long ago. The visuals are so powerful

This closely observed heroism of the ordinary, the ungainly, and the unlovely adds up to something grand because the result is uncertain and the stakes seem higher #horrorwatch

It’s interesting that they didn’t choose to tighten it up a bit with a role for the nurse and even his roommate’s daughter in the final act—it’s a little odd to develop them so well and then not use them #horrorwatch

My second viewing as well. It was much better than I remembered, another trait it has in common with Coen Brothers comedies, always a good rewatch. #horrorwatch

This is part of what I meant about the early Coen Brothers vibe. They (and their actors) just invested totally in whatever the bit was, it was transcendent in a way. Epic #horrorwatch

And the deliberate choice to make the lil scarab visibly animatronic was sly #horrorwatch

Loving this vibe, it’s like early Coen Brothers (“Raising Arizona”) #horrorwatch

Oh cool! I’ve been out of the loop but thrilled to see this, I loved the original (prose) version

Male Yellow-bellied Seedeater (Sporophila nigricollis) in Jardín, Colombia last week. #hiking #senderismo #nature #photography 🪶
Little bird striking a Napoleonic pose atop a shrub. The black hood contrasts with the yellow belly. Same bird, more in repose with the fluffy feathered chest very evident.

Green Jay (“Inca Jay” variety) at Gulupa Ecolodge, Jardín, Colombia yesterday. #nature #photography 🪶
Jay gazes directly at viewer in crisp morning light, its bold color scheme matching its bold gaze. Andean foothills recede, gently rolling, into a bed of puffy clouds and blue sky. A town is nestled far below

Sort of an ideal #horrorwatch pick, easy to laugh at some of the characters and kid around, but also genuinely disturbing and provocative material. And some good visuals

I feel like I saw an older black and white version of Jekyll and Hyde that also made some use of mirrors and reflections at key moments #horrorwatch

Before the end of the film, Dr Jekyll will be composing a moving ballad to see the Hobbits off at the Grey Havens
