My friends!
Another slow month, but rehearsals for The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail down in WV have kept me occupied during the times when I wasn’t bashing away at HIDDEN HORROR (which is taking shape slowly but surely, and a shapely lass she is). But for the most part what we saw was worth seeing, and now it’s time to clear the plate before diving into the abyss that is the October Movie Challenge! I don’t expect this year to be nearly as bonkers as the past two (where I topped the century mark both times) – too much on the plate these days to do a full-on Scare-A-Thon, although I might take a stab at it in an alternate month in 2014, so stay tuned.
In the meantime, as always, feel free to leave your two cents worth – we’ll make sure you get some change back.
Enjoy!

Glad you enjoyed Diary of a Chambermaid. Late-period Buñuel is pretty unbeatable.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't say I loved it though. Left me a little cold, but then again, so does most Bunuel. Appreciated but not impassioned by.
