Endless Ends

[Endless_Night]

Res judicata.

Nothing like burning a bridge. *shrug*

 

[Endless_Night]

I feel like I should be planning vengeance or something.


Also, I have a newfound desire to go to Boston.

And acquire an illustrated manuscript.


It may be that I'm a teensy bit all over the place this evening.

This sounds exactly like Romancing the Stone.
Except there was no vengeance.
And she went to Columbia instead of Boston.
And it was her sister, not an illustrated manuscript.
So I guess it’s really nothing like Romancing the Stone.

Good movie, though.

Such an eye for detail.

So, I just stumbled on the interesting tidbit that Joan Aiken (famous children's alternative history writer) wrote gothic romantic intrigue parodies!!!

Oh. Joy.

I am off to track down novels fraught with Exploding Soup Cans and rousing climaxes, such as a Bathtub of Bees.


Joan Aiken - The Wolves Chronicles - oddly scary children books. Like, The Wolves of Willoughby Chase and Black Hearts in Battersea.

To the person whose had five PMs from me since 10am this morning.

I AM SO SORRY


I think I'm in the middle of a rehab mental breakdown.

*squeals with delight*

'Tis amazing what the announcement of a forthcoming appliance delivery can make to a girl's mood.

 

[Endless_Night]

What am I going to do today?

The last few days have been ex-haust-ing.


I require some baaaaad movie recovery.

 

[Endless_Night]

Well, I might've gotten a little derailed and actually done a few things.

*kicks dirt*

But!!!

Deep Freeze (2001) - Also known as Ice Crawlers.

Your usual underwater monster B sci-fi. Prehistoric monsters unleashed by those crazy humans mucking about with Mother Nature. Tsk, tsk.

It has a very nineties feel, which considering it was made in the early aughts is...not surprising.

Next up?


Dark Descent (2002) with Dean Cain.

It doesn't even rate a Wiki page. I fear this may be a bad sign.

 

[Endless_Night]

Also,

For those interested, The Criterion Collection is having a crazy flash sale!!!

They have all kinds of cool restored films. Akira Kurosawa. Ingmar Bergman. Cult Classics. Out of print. Some Fantasy and Sci-fi.

@hotwords229_A , maybe?

Anyhoo, ends tomorrow at noon!


Didn't link the site 'cause not sure it that's allowed.

Fair enough. I've done both, so I can't blame you.

 

[Endless_Night]

I feel like this display of achievement was unnecessarily cruel.

 

[Endless_Night]

Update! Update!

Dark Descent (2001)

Welp. This appears to be an Outland knockoff. A very moderate Outland knockoff. Set under water.

In the Mariana Trench.


A Few Highlights:

-Bench pressing w/o a spotter.
-Stereotypical Russian mobsters!
-A picture of a monkey mimicking Rodin’s The Thinker in the station’s dive bar.


That last one is my favorite.


Otherwise, it's pretty boring.

 

[Endless_Night]

(Also, it's kinda amazing how freely they're shooting up their underwater habitat with automatic weapons. )

Renfield - final trailer

Renfield - final trailer

Vampires are almost as good as werewolves.

How old is Nicholas Cage these days? He looks so different somehow....

Normally I'm a white tea and tisane kind of girl. Lately, as I paddle to stay afloat during all this rehab stress, I might've moved to slamming the coffee.

Which...is not helpful. It just perpetuates that stress/anxiety/can't sleep cycle.

A friend turned me on to brewed cacao. Wow. That stuff's amazing! The theobromine bumps me without all those tricky little too-much-caffeine side effects. Oddly, it also seems to satisfy my sweet tooth.

And, it comes in different roasts!

Brewed Cacao. I'm a convert.


Also, French Onion Soup. Nom.

 

[Endless_Night]

Errr....

It's clear those aren't at the same time, right?

 

[Endless_Night]

I - a low-level foodie - have yet to eat at a Michelin star restaurant.

(Michelin does not deign to visit Texas, or indeed many states in the US.)

However. I have just found out there are two Michelin stared chefs in Dallas. Road trip. In my future. Soon.


What is it lately?

I, who rarely want anything for myself, have gone all want-y.

It's kinda disturbing.

 

[Endless_Night]

If @Mei5ter bops in saying he's eaten at several Michelin restaurants....

There. May. Be. Blood.





(Unless you live in a state Michelin visits. In which case you're forgiven.)

Depends how rare you do the steak?

I don't live in a state. Does this mean I'm unforgiven?

 

[Endless_Night]

I don't live in a state. Does this mean I'm unforgiven?

This conjures Unforgiven (1992).


Pretty sure no-one is forgiven in that movie.


(So yes. )

Sunny Bunny!

How very tasteless to make a statement on the the current chaos of my life.


Not wrong, mind. But tasteless.

 

[Endless_Night]

Also, as there seems to be a bit of confusion, the rehab mentioned is:

A REMODEL


Holy Kittens.
