Dragging myself out to see “Stoker” turned out to be the
wrong decision. It’s not outright awful but its affectations bordering on TV
movie leave it floundering. Mostly style, little substance and well, in case
you thought there were vampires involved, there are not. Unless you count
having your soul sucked out on account of the fairly obvious outcome.
But anyway, it’s a weekend of movies and I’ll be back in the
dark this afternoon for something called “Side by Side”. A documentary about the
effect that digital cameras have had on film-making. It features several
charlatans but also David Lynch.
And in this countdown to the shakedown known as Record Store
Day, I’ll try to do something each day on items you might consider buying over the
hiked price artefacts. Stores have plenty decent inventory on any given day and
its somewhat obscene that they have to dig in to almost non-existent coffers to
populate their premises with mostly bogus “collectors” items. Everybody knows that the really great thing about RSD was
the home baking anyway. Right?
So yeah, let’s see how this latest intention pans out. This “back
to winter” weather leaves room for little else.
