GUILLERMO DEL TORO’s CABINET OF CURIOSITIES - MANDY - THOR: METAL GODS - jackass of all trades
Was a lonely champion of Mike White’s Enlightened, whereas season 1 of White Lotus left me annoyed & even angry by its end. And yet season 2 episode 5 of White Lotus is one of the most wonderful works of tv acting & writing I’ve ever seen.
Remember a few years ago overhearing in a restaurant some people in publishing discussing how many followers on social media a potential author had as much as their manuscript and yeah, we all just made this part of our unpaid work, I know that’s part of why it’s so hard to quit a site gone to hell.

Rest in Peace to composer Angelo Badalamenti here telling the beautiful story of how he and David Lynch created the theme for Twin Peaks. His sound is in everything everywhere now, I believe it’s the end of an era of sound with him gone. https://youtu.be/e-eqgr_gn4k
Angelo Badalamenti explains how he wrote Laura Palmer's Theme
@Jwomack good to see you over here Mr Womack
Ectoplasm a reference to how in earliest days of medium of photography spiritualists used it to ‘prove’ communication with the dead was all around us. And maybe that’s inherent in all new recorded mediums? Photo of medium Eva C. By Albert von Shrenck-Notzing. 1912.
Slowly reassembling my ectoplasm over here good to see so many familiar people and forgive me as I slowly find a bunch of you all over again.
