For those who listen to Screen Test of Time, you’ll know I’m no great fan of this story, so when my mom insisted on taking me to see the new one today while I’m in my hometown for Christmas, she really had to drag me.

It is absolutely phenomenal, and I insist everyone go see it immediately because DAMN.

Ugh, have THREE episodes to edit before I leave for Morocco next week and I can’t do that and watch the impeachment hearings at the same time...

And the worst thing is that this now gives me zero excuse to delay folding laundry and doing my seasonal clothing swap over any longer. Blech.

Hmm....

@ScreenTestOfTime , but for the Hugos.

Our review of Gone With the Wind is out, and it’s predictably scathing.

That’s it, that’s the toot.

Laserdisc Oscars are only going to have 5 slots for best picture. 10 is a cop out. If you want to get nominated, make a better movie
Braising a pork shoulder in apple cider and onions and having people over to watch Jennifer’s Body and Shaun of the Dead, since it’s raining all day today and being cozy sounds better than being drenched at the parade, IMO.
I slept until 9:30 after waking up at 5:00 yesterday, and it’s amazing how much it feels like everything’s going to be OK when you sleep enough.
Ugh, it’s Halloween week! I want to watch 28 Days Later or Jennifer’s Body or Sean of the Dead or... well, a lot of things that aren’t Of Mice and Men.

So, it’s coming out pretty late on a Sunday, but it is out!

This was our longest episode ever, and I am pretty damn proud of it.

I now have a giant crush on 31-year-old Jimmy Stewart-as-Jefferson Smith, now. (Important to distinguish characters from the actors who play them... I’ve learned that lesson the hard way. Hashtag Don’t Date Hollywood Actors Because You Think Their One Character Was Hot.)

I’m going to the candle lit ghost tour tonight at the Merchant’s House Museum (reportedly THE most haunted place in New York City) and I can’t stop singing “Ghost Murder Party” to the tune of Gorillaz’s “Sex Murder Party.”

I really hope I’m not asking for trouble this way...
