@fibrearts@crochet As promised, here are some photos of my current WIP. I’m working on a crocheted top called Spiderdream. It’s an asymmetrical construction so I’ve done one sleeve and shoulder and am working across the body to the second shoulder. The yarn is from a 2023 advent calendar. #crochet#fibrearts#nightshift#garmentconstruction
Finishing off The Losers' Club's lengthy review of The Boogeyman film, which they indeed were a bit critical of. I felt they are nitpicking on irrelevant minutia, giving this the analysis that one would give to The Godfather.
I remember when Stranger Things came out and the number of people who pointed out how much of a Stephen King vibe it had. How story elements seem lifted from such works as Firestarter and Carrie.
Now here, a big complaint The Losers' Club raised was how much this Stephen King film reminds them of Stranger Things. Oh how the world of irony has turned.
Last week, "The Boogeyman" was finally released for streaming, so before I begin my next book (see yesterday's posts) I'm going to take advantage of the US holiday today and circle back to Night Shift and give this a watch.
This is the very first thing that we're greeted with. When did they start putting THESE warnings in front of movies? Shoot - when I was a kid, smoking was found in rated-G cartoons! My, how society has changed.
The opening seconds of this film are impressive. Great visuals. The soundwork sets an incredible dark mood. I'm looking forward to what seems to be a high quality work!
I must admit, I paused the frame to see if there was any significance behind some of those letters on the wall being shaded out. I couldn't find any.
When this character walked into the psychiatrist's office, he perfectly gave off the creepiest vibes. And then I looked up who the actor was (David Dastmalchian) and saw that he was also the hilarious Polka-Dot Man from "The Suicide Squad" and the creepy factor just disappeared. I need to learn to do my research AFTER the movie, not DURING it!
The acting is just incredible. So refreshing to see this after slogging through some of the worst King adaptations the industry had to offer. "The Boogeyman" is quality stuff.
Already a major deviation from the source material where the father of the young children who have been killed by the Boogeyman is himself found dead at the psychiatrist's house.
What kind of twisted-ass child's therapy is this??? If I didn't have phobias walking into this lady's office, I sure would have collected a whole bunch walking out of it!
