Inherent Vice #ThomasPynchon #PaulThomasAnderson #atthemovies

For decades I have been a fan of Thomas Pynchon's novels. The first one I read was "V", still one of my favourites, but, really, I love all of them. There is some geographical and historical magic Pynchon distils in his writing, that permeates his characters in a unique way. Maxine Tarnow, in Bleeding Edge, is the girl of the 90's, immersed in what is already the nightmarish world of post 911.

We watched “Weapons” the other night. It’s in the witches-and-demons subcategory of horror, and on the shallow end of that subcategory.

It got us thinking about those kinds of movies and led us to an informal incomplete ranking. Here’s mine:

1. The Witch
2. Hereditary
3. The Blackcoat’s Daughter
4. Longlegs
5. Weapons

Notable is that two of these movies are directed by Osgood Perkins. I also love his “I am the Pretty Thing that Lives in the House” but that’s in the ghost subcategory.

Sad 🙁

I was a faithful viewer of "At the Movies" on ABC.

I almost always refer to the show as "the Margaret and David show'.

This toot will self destruct in the next 5 seconds.

Time to fire up the Autobahn LP and roll out the rug that really ties the room together — my son & I are heading to #CantonPalaceTheatre to catch THE BIG LEBOWSKI on the big screen! 🍿🎳
