I write crime novels about Mrs Hudson and Mary Watson and am interested in all things geeky and nerdy and fascinating
Ok.
#SalemsLot tv series is genuinely good, some very creepy moments and James Mason is skilfully terrifying without overplaying it.
Hmm, I was assuming Ben Mears, the writer, was the Stephen King reflection character but now I think it’s Mark Petrie, the boy. Then again I think the boys (and perhaps some of the girls) in King’s stories are the best reflection of him and perhaps why he writes teenagers so well #SalemsLot
Good use of the school pageant to tell the story of the Salem’s Lot rather than exposition #SalemsLot
Well hang on a minute, in #SalemsLot there’s a character called Cullen Sawyer - is that where Stephanie Meyer got the name from?
This is more subtle than I expected. Very little dialogue, no explanation so far, just straight into atmosphere and mystery #SalemsLot
This is making me want to read Salem’s Lot again. And Needful Things for some reason #SalemsLot
Ok, I am watching #SalemsLot - the TV series, not the movie. I’ve heard so much about this, seen it referenced by many horror fans and yet never seen it - so here goes
In the end I quite enjoyed #TheGodfatherIII, especially the last half. I think once I stopped thinking of it as a Godfather movie and thought of it as a decent eighties thriller interwoven with real events, I enjoyed it a lot more. Again, this was the Coda version I watched, not the original cut
Oh, goodness, Keinszig is based on Roberto Calvi? This is getting dangerously close to actual events #TheGodfatherIII
The Siclly interlude, with Michael and Kay finding each other though, that’s a fine bit of filmmaking, beautifully shot and acted, giving depth and character to Michael and Kay (I’m watching the Coda rather the original cut) #TheGodfatherIII
